Using a group correlational design and path analysis, the authors examined the relationships among personality, motivation, and internet gaming disorder (IGD). Findings showed that significant predictors of IGD included male gender, neurotic and introverted personality traits, and motivation related to achievement.

Although assessment use is a professional activity recognized by every major counseling organization, little is known about which assessments are used in counseling. In this study, 926 respondents from a random national sample of counselors reported their use of personality, projective, career, intelligence/cognitive, educational/achievement, clinical/behavioral, and environmental/interpersonal tests. Test rankings by frequency of use and comparisons by type of counselor and type of test are reported. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

A random sample of American Counseling Association members was asked to respond to a 77‐item survey of counselor behaviors and identify whether each behavior was ethical or unethical. Results are categorized by behaviors in which 90% of counselors agreed, 75% to 90% agreed, and 25% to 50% disagreed. Also, changes in ethics education were reviewed and chi‐square statistics were examined for differences based on demographics: gender, age, specialty area and position held, ethnicity, and degree.

This study reports results of a questionnaire of 210 counselor educators regarding assessment instruments covered in their assessment courses. Instruments are ranked on how extensively they are covered, and comparisons of coverage are made by assessment category (e.g., educational, clinical) and by instructor and program characteristic (e.g., Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs [CACREP] vs. non-CACREP). Suggestions regarding which assessment techniques to cover in a basic counselor education testing and assessment course are made.

This survey examined counselor educators' ethical concerns. Responding toa series ofvignettes, respondents considered unethical those behaviors that are self-serving (e.g., dating a client or a studentand notfulfilling work responsibilities) while perceiving ethical those practices thatraise thequestion ofdual relationship.

A significant gender difference was obseroed in their response to onevignette. The majority of respondents expressed satisfaction with the current ethical standards of theAmerican Counseling Association, although slightly over halfindicated thatethical standards specifically applicable to counselor education would behelpful.
