Objective: The purpose of this study was to begin developing and validating an instrument to measure self-trust in adults. Method: Using a multi-phased and mixed methods approach to instrument development, the RSTI scores were tested across three samples reflecting national demographics of adults in the United States (n = 157, n = 692, n = 261).…

Objective: This study sought to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and measurement invariance of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) among older sexual minority women with disabilities. Method: Participants (n = 208) consisted of sexual minority women aged 55 and…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Counselor Self-Reflection Inventory (CSRI) from a Transformative Learning Theory framework for counselors, and counselors-in-training to use in clinical and training settings. Method: A sample of 351, mostly female (86.89%), white (85.19%), counselors with MS or MA (88.08%)…

We examined the replicability of the 61-item EcoWellness Inventory (EI-61; Reese et al., 2015) and the factor structure of a brief form (i.e., EI-15). The EI-15 demonstrated excellent model fit and initial convergent validity evidence. The inventory serves as a potentially useful tool for assessing ecowellness in professional counseling practice…

Psychometric properties of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS-8) scores were examined with a national sample of school counselors (N = 1,005). SPOS-8 scores displayed good internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.92), one-factor structure, and convergent and discriminant validity. Measurement invariance was evident for White and…

The factor structure, measurement invariance, and internal consistency of the Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression and Anxiety (PHQ-4) was examined with a rural, predominately Hispanic sample (N = 711). Findings supported use of a one-factor model across gender, age groups, and Spanish-speaking groups. Counseling practice and research…

Researchers developed and initially validated a client-report measure of counselors' cultural humility, entitled the Cultural Humility and Enactment Scale (CHES). The sample includes 434 adults recruited from web-based surveys. Exploratory factor analyses were performed to examine the initial factor structure of the CHES. Bivariate correlations…
