“…This inconsistency implies that the avoidance-anxiety relationship may operate differently in counseling students and that some further qualification of the theory may be needed in applying it to them. Con-sistent with other studies (Brennan et al, 1998;Ng, 2000), the Relationships as Secondary subscale was problematic in our sample of counselor trainees. We found that the internal consistency reliability was low for this subscale.…”

“…On the basis of these findings and on literature suggesting measurement difficulties associated with the Relationships as Secondary scale (Brennan et al, 1998;Ng, 2000), we developed an alternative, modified model excluding the Relationships as Secondary scale as an indicator of avoidance. This model is presented in Figure 1.…”

The effects of adult attachment on emotional empathy were investigated using a sample of master's-degree level counseling students. Through structural equation modeling, the authors found that the latent attachment dimensions of avoidance and anxiety work in tandem in their effects on empathy. Lower avoidance and higher anxiety were associated with highest levels of empathy. Results are discussed in terms of attachment theory and the wounded healer concept, with implications for counselor trainees, counselor educators, and counselor supervisors.

“…Researchers found that the data taken from Malaysian respondents produced unequal amount of factors as compared with the original study in Western population [14]. Similar findings also obtained in earlier cross-cultural study on psychological instruments in Malaysia such as in Ng, Trusty & Crawford, [15], Ramli, Mohd Ariff, & Zaid [16] and Oei, Sukanlaya, Goh & Firdaus, [17]. Cultural bias has been discussed extensively since 1900s, when Binet’s first intelligence scale was published and Stern introduced procedures for testing intelligence [18, 19].…”

Development and validation of Yatt Suicide Attitude Scale (YSAS) in Malaysia

et al. 2019

Introduction Despite suicide rate becoming a growing trend in research locally and globally, there is no standard measuring instrument developed in Malaysia. The aim of this study is to establish the first ever Malay version of suicide screening tool that is suitable and fit with multiracial and complex culture of Malaysia. Methods This study comprises of three phases, namely (1) items selection phase, (2) pilot study phase, and (3) scale validation phase. During the first phase, the items were selected from items pools which gathered from previous suicide ideation/ attitude scales. Then the pilot study was carried out to examine the items for Yatt Suicide Attitude Scale (YSAS). Lastly, the Yatt Suicide Attitude Scale (YSAS) validation study was conducted with 219 university students. Results Initial version of YSAS comprised 16 items and three components. After factor analysis, the questionnaire was reduced into only two components (Suicide Ideation and Suicide Attempt) with 5 items each. Both of the components obtained high reliability value (.89 and.86 respectively) and the questionnaire accounted for 67.84% of the total variance. Conclusion The analysis showed that YSAS has an acceptable reliability and validity for Malaysian population. Although these findings corroborate literature on development of suicide ideation assessment instrument for specific cultural context, there is a need to further examine its reliability with clinical population and general population of different cultural context in Malaysia.

“…To develop a cross‐culturally valid instrument, the researchers followed validation procedures as recommended in the literature (Hui & Triandis, 1985; Marsella & Leong, 1995; Ng, 1999). The Japanese CBI maintained the same number of items as the original version and employed the same 5‐point Likert scale, with 1 being “never true” and 5 being “always true.” The first author in the current study, a Japanese American researcher, asked several bilingual professional translators to convert the original English version of the CBI into Japanese.…”

Cross‐cultural validation of factor structure in the Japanese Counselor Burnout Inventory

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article describes the cross-cultural validation of the Counselor Burnout Inventory (CBI; Lee, Baker, Cho, Heckathorn, Holland, Newgent, Ogle, Powell, Quinn, Wallace & Yu, 2007) on a sample of professional counselors and psychotherapists in Japan. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the validity of the CBI with three models: a one-factor model, a five-factor model, and a second-order model. The results showed that the five-factor model was a better fit and more parsimonious than both the one-factor model and the second-order factor model. Additionally, the internal consistency reliability for the CBI subscale scores proved equivalent to that found for other populations (e.g. American and Korean). The results suggest that counselor burnout is not a unidimensional construct but a multidimensional construct. Implications and recommendations for future research are provided.
