“…The most significant weakness inherent in the SDS-CV is the lack of data supporting the technical adequacy of the instrument. Aside from the Reardon and Loughead (1988) study, no research currently exists to support the instrument's reliability or validity. Whereas the Reardon and Loughead study does provide some initial evidence of SDS and SDS-CV comparability, additional research is needed.…”

This article discusses general issues and concerns relative to the adaptation of paper‐pencil assessment instruments to computerized formats. The computerized form of the Self‐Directed Search is described and evaluated. Strengths and weaknesses of the SDS‐CV are presented and recommendations regarding its use are discussed. In that additional research is needed regarding the reliability and validity of scores attained on the computerized SDS, we concluded that information from this version of the instrument should be interpreted cautiously. The computerized SDS, however, has the potential of becoming a useful instrument in the career counseling field.

“…Although a number of these have found the two modes equivalent (Follette, 1984;Holden & Hickman, 1987;Reardon & Loughead, 1988), some studies have suggested that computerization may be associated with differential responding (Allred & Harris, 1985, as cited in Hofer & Green, 1985Koson, Kitchen, Kochen, & Stodolosky, 1970;Lautenschlager & Flahert~, 1990). Moreover, note that the majority of these studies have considered the issue in relation to adult populations.…”

Two hundred seventy-nine 8- to 17-year-old children and adolescents were randomly assigned to complete paper-and-pencil or computer-administered versions of the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale. The equivalence of these two administration modes was assessed by evaluating the comparability of scale means, variances, reliabilities, and validities. Results indicate that, of 27 comparisons, only 1 produced a statistically significant difference. We concluded that the computerized administration of the Piers-Harris scale did not affect its psychometric properties and that paper-and-pencil and computerized modes of testing for this questionnaire may be regarded as equivalent.

“…Of additional interest in the current review is the computer version of the SDS. The computerized version appears to be comparable to the paper-and-pencil version and may have utility for use in career exploration with individuals with various physical disabilities (Reardon & Loughead, 1988).…”

This paper briefly reviews the career-related issues facing employees with diverse surface characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, women, older workers, individuals with physical disabilities) and work status characteristics (e.g., part-time workers, contract employees, unemployed) at career choice and during career development. Following a description of these career issues, a review and evaluation of 44 psychometrically sound career assessment tools is provided that may be useful in individual assessment and career counseling with these targeted groups. The results of this review are discussed in terms of research and practice.
