The Research Identity Scale: Psychometric Analyses and Scale Refinement
Jorgensen, Maribeth F.; Schweinle, William E.
Professional Counselor, v8 n1 p21-28 2018
The 68-item Research Identity Scale (RIS) was informed through qualitative exploration of research identity development in master's-level counseling students and practitioners. Classical psychometric analyses revealed the items had strong validity and reliability and a single factor. A one-parameter Rasch analysis and item review was used to reduce the RIS to 21 items. The RIS offers counselor education programs the opportunity to promote and quantitatively assess research-related learning in counseling students.
