“…The fact that the psychometric properties of the English EssenCES remained stable across such a diverse range of settings and that they are consistent with those reported in previous research (Howells et al, 2009;Schalast & Groenewald, 2009;Schalast et al, 2008) is strong evidence to support the validity of scores obtained using the English EssenCES.…”
