Abstract

Abstract Dispositions have been identified as critical elements of counselor development and competency. Although there is currently no professional agreement regarding the definition or structure of counselor dispositions, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP 2016) accreditation standards require counselor educators to assess students’ professional dispositions. We endorse the need for a disposition measure that yields reliable and valid scores for use in admissions and gatekeeping processes. We present results of a confirmatory factor analysis of the Professional Dispositions Scale–Counseling Student Version (PDS–CSV), which revealed that counselor dispositions are best understood as a single higher order factor made up of 9 subfactors addressing personal and professional considerations. Based on these findings, we propose a definition of counselor dispositions for consideration by professional colleagues.

咨询师性格的定义和结构

性格被认为是辅导员发展和能力的关键因素。虽然目前还没有关于咨询师性格的定义或结构的专业协议，但咨询和相关教育项目认证委员会(CACREP 2016)的认证标准要求咨询教育者评估学生的专业性格。我们赞同在招生和把关过程中产生可靠和有效分数的处置措施的需要。我们提出了专业倾向量表-咨询学生版(PDS-CSV)的验证性因素分析结果，该结果表明，咨询师倾向最好被理解为由9个子因素组成的单一高阶因素，解决个人和专业考虑。基于这些发现，我们提出了一个咨询师倾向的定义，供专业同事参考。

期刊介绍： Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development is an official journal of the Association of Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC), a member association and division of the American Counseling Association. Articles range in appeal from those that deal with theoretical and other problems of the measurement specialist to those directed to the administrator, the counselor, or the personnel worker--in schools and colleges, public and private agencies, business, industry, and government. All articles clearly describe implications for the counseling field and for practitioners, educators, administrators, researchers, or students in assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
