Question Answered step-by-step I need help interpreting my THEORETICAL EVALUATION SELF-TEST… I need help interpreting my THEORETICAL EVALUATION SELF-TEST results which I have provided belowHere is the website that I took the test on: http://web.pdx.edu/~dcoleman/test.htmlSUBSCALEYOUR SCORESAMPLE OF 130 mean (SD)Psychodynamic2526.2 (5.2)Biological1914.6 (4.0)Family1818.2 (4.0)Ecosystems2524.2 (2.6)Cognitive2925 (4.5)Pragmatic2220.1 (5.7)Humanistic1310.4 (2.4)INTERPRETING YOUR SCORE: The subscales used to add up your scores(psychodynamic, biological, etc) are derived from a factor analysis of the responses of 130 subjects. See below for sample information. Some participants have found it helpful to refer back to their responses to individual items to see if there are parts of a theory they tend to agree with more or less. The column, “Sample of 130”, provides the means and standard deviations of the sample of 130 community clinicians. Since these are from one selectively drawn sample, they provide a reference point but are not “norms”. (These are means of the summed scale scores, not standarized to the 1 item level). To aid you in interpretation of the mean +/- 1 standard deviation would include 68% of the sample, and +/- 2 standard deviations would include 95% of the sample. One caution is that the reliability of the scale is adequate to discriminate group differences, but not individual differences. These scores should be used to stimulate reflection, but not as precise measurements of individual theoretical orientation. Sample Information: (n=130) Fifty-six (43%) of the subjects were MSW students, and 74 (57%) were practicing clinicians. Ninety-three (72%) were social work associated (students and practitioners) and 37 (28%) were from the other mental health professions. The average age of subjects was 35 (sd=13.7). The average practice experience of practictioners was 13.8 years (sd=11.2). Psychology Social Science Social Psychology SOCW 6060 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
