Feldstein, JoAnn Cohen; Gladstein, Gerald A. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1980
Discussed four measures of empathy: Truax's Accurate Empathy Scale; Carkhuff's Empathic Understanding Scale; Barrett-Lennard's Relationship Inventory; and Truax's Relationship Inventory. Roger's concepts served as evaluative criteria. None met all criteria. Further evidence is needed of these scales' construct validities. Measures are valid if…

Benner, Emily H.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Investigated the interrelationship of self-concept measures in a cross-validation study of 134 intermediate grade children. Multiple regression analysis of self-report and behavioral inference instruments supported the hypothesis that self-constructs are strongly rooted in the method by which they are assessed. (JAC)

Miklich, Donald R. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1971
This article describes a device used to array the pieces of the Object Assembly Test, a subscale of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children, in exact standardized order in less time than is now needed and without a screen, thus guaranteeing that the subject will have no previous experience with the pieces.

Hynd, George W.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1980
Investigated concurrent validity of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) with Native American primary-grade children. Significantly low General Cognitive Index indicates that the MSCA with Native American children is not recommended for psychodiagnostic purposes. However, perceptual-performance and motor scales may provide useful…

Turner, Carol J.; Schwartzbach, Helene – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Evaluated the Counseling Expectation Inventory (CEI), designed to measure prognostic expectation. Participants were clients (N=200) and counselors (N=19) from six college counseling centers. Results suggested convergent and discriminant validity but evidence for construct validity was weak. Improvements in the CEI are needed before it's used in…

Rogers, Weaver B., Jr.; Westbrook, Bert W. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Used a modified multitrait-multimethod matrix approach to examine the construct validity of the Career Decision Scale for 175 male college students. The results of the investigation provided evidence supporting the construct validity of the Career Decision Scale. (Author/JAC)

Butcke, Pamela; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1984
Developed an occupational stress inventory for school counselors, based on a pilot study of 353 counselors and a replication study of 410 counselors. Factor analysis identified six factors of occupational stress. Age and school size were the variables that had the most influence on perceptions. (JAC)

Byrne, Barbara M. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Administered two measures of general self-concept and two measures of academic self-concept to 1,018 high school students in October and May of the same school year to determine reliability and validity. Results indicated the need for more research investigating the psychometric properties of measures of academic self-concept. (JAC)
