A differential item functioning study of counseling competencies scale‐revised scores

Abstract

Our study examines the differential item functioning of the Counselor Competencies Scale—Revised (CCS‐R) scores due to respondents’ gender, the type of evaluation, and a combination of these two variables using a large sample (N = 1614). Implications of the findings are offered to inform counselor educators and supervisors using the CCS‐R and similar supervisee assessment measures.
