Akey, Theresa M.; Marquis, Janet G.; Ross, Margaret E.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v60 n3 p419-38 Jun 2000
Studied the construct validity for scores on a measure of psychological empowerment, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, for parents of children with a disability. Results of correlational analyses and group discrimination analyses of responses of 293 parents in 3 family support programs provide evidence of the convergent and discriminant validity of the instrument's subscale and total scale scores.
