This article describes the development and psychometric properties of scores from the 4 3-item School Counselor Self-Efficacy (SCSE) Scale Self-efficacy, according to social cognitive theory. is a mediating factor in performance. Practicing school counselors and master s-level students completed the SCSE. Factor structure, construct validity, and internal consistency are reported.

Investigating the Psychometric Properties of School Counselor Self-Advocacy Questionnaire

Professional School Counseling (2011)

Elysia V. Clemens Adria Shipp Tyler M. Kimbel

This article reports on the development and the exploration of the underlying psychometric properties of the School Counselor Self-Advocacy Questionnaire, a measure of skills school counselors can use to advocate for their roles and programs. An exploratory factor analysis (N = 188) suggested a unidimensional model, and a confirmatory factor analysis indicated the overall model robustly explains the data, accounting for 80% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha reliability estimates ranged from .84 to .87 for the questionnaire and the estimates of concurrent validity were promising. Implications for school counselor advocacy practice are also included.

Factor structure of the Counselor Rating Form—Short.

Journal of Counseling Psychology (1988)

Terence J. G. Tracey Cynthia E. Glidden Anna M. Kokotovic

The relative goodness of fit of four competing factor models of the Counselor Rating FormShort was examined across client (N = 191) and nonclient (N = 111) samples by confirmatory factor analysis. The four models tested were (a) the single, general, positive-evaluation factor, (b) the three orthogonal factors (expertness, trustworthiness, and attractiveness); (c) the three oblique factors; and (d) a two-step hierarchical-factor model consisting of the three independent firstorder factors and an independent second-order general factor. Results of the confirmatory factor analyses supported the validity of the two-step hierarchical-factor model for both the client and nonclient samples. The factor structure of this two-step hierarchical-factor model was found to be invariant across the two samples.
