The purpose of this study is to translate the counseling competencies scale (CCS) in the Malaysian context, and subsequently to test the validity and reliability of the psychometrics. Specifically, there was a limited number of psychometric items to evaluate counselor-in-training competencies. Recently, CCS was designed to evaluate trainee counselor competencies including counseling skills, dispositions, and behaviors as it is one of the ethical obligations that need to be fulfilled. However, the CCS has not been adapted culturally or linguistically for the Malay population since it was developed overseas. Previous literature indicates that until now, only one study found translated CCS into Chinese language and culture. On the contrary, there were a few studies carried out on the reliability and validity of CCS. Yet, all of these studies were conducted outside the local context which was a gap in the implementation of this study. Hence, this study was implemented at 9 public univer...

Towards the Development of a Counseling Effectiveness Scale
2014
This is an attempt to develop an instrument that measures counseling effectiveness by students in a school setting in as much as the practice of counseling in the Philippines is mostly done in the school setting rather than in the community or clinical settings. Howard's Three Phase Model of Change and other salient factors, namely: counselor qualities and abilities, and process elements guided item development resulting in an initial 50 item scale. Items underwent expert review before the instrument was fielded. Fortyseven guidance counselors agreed to participate in the study enrolling a total of 272 client respondents who used the proposed scale to evaluate the counselor after the counseling session. Results yielded a three factor model with 4 subscales for factor 1 resulting in a 43-item scale which may be divided into two parts. The instrument shows adequate reliability as a whole (alpha = .95) and among its scales ranging from .75-.96. Factor I subscales range from .81-.91. The scales comprising the instrument also demonstrate convergent validity as indicated by significant low correlations among the factors.

This study presents psychometric properties (i.e., factor structure, convergent and discriminant validity, reliabilities) of an outcome instrument, the Client Evaluation of Counseling Inventory (CEC; Pace, 1997). The CEC was specifically designed for use in a counseling training clinic, although its broader applicability is also emphasized. Challenges unique to measuring outcome in a training clinic are presented, and the usefulness of the CEC in addressing these challenges is discussed. Results indicated a 3-factor structure and provided support for the reliability and validity of the CEC with a sample of clients from the community who were receiving services at a university-operated counseling training clinic.
Development and validation of the Counseling Self-Estimate Inventory
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1992
This article describes the development of the Counseling Self-Estimate Inventory through 5 studies. A factor analysis (N = 213) yielded 5 factors that reflect counselor trainees' confidences in using microskills, attending to process, dealing with difficult client behaviors, behaving in a culturally competent way, and being aware of one's values. Reliability estimates indicate that the items are internally consistent (a = .93) and stable over time. Initial validity estimates show that the instrument is (a) positively related to counselor performance, self-concept, problem-solving appraisal, performance expectations, and class satisfaction; (b) negatively related to state and trait anxiety; (c) minimally related to aptitude, achievement, personality type, and defensiveness; and (d) sensitive to change over the course of master's practicum and across different levels of counselors. Also, trait anxiety and counseling self-efficacy were significant predictors of counselor trainee performance. The development of a reliable and valid counseling self-efficacy instrument has training and research implications.
