“…As individuals develop higher levels of cognitive, moral, and conceptual functioning, as well as improved self-efficacy, they are better able to experience empathy, deal with dichotomy, assess, process, and select appropriate therapeutic techniques (Halverson, Miars, & Livneh, 2006). Other studies (Lambie, Smith, & leva, 2009;Noam, Young, & Jilnina, 2006) connect social-cognitive maturity in counseling students to higher levels of adaptivity, empathy, self-care, and Wellness.…”

Desire for Higher Education in First-Generation Hispanic College Students Enrolled in a Graduate Counseling Program

Motivation to seek higher education is rarely examined in Hispanic first-generation graduate students, those v^ihose parents have not attended college, and there is less literature examining those whose desire for education extends to a master's degree in counseling. The purpose of this study was to conduct a phenomenological examination of the desire to attend college among first-generation Hispanic students enrolled in a counselor education program. One-hour taped interviews were conducted with three volunteer participants enrolled in a graduate counseling program at a Texas university designated as a Hispanic-serving institution. Meaning units and constituents were extracted, and a general structure was developed using the Descriptive Phenomenological Method (Giorgi, 1985). The phenomenological analysis resulted in one structure that identifies the influence of respected others; resilience and selfefficacy; self-denial; a need for distinction and career satisfaction; spirituality; altruism; and a view of commitment to a counseHng degree as a nonUnear process.

“…Second, both types of interview will provide information about how well-being takes shape in different orders of mind. Following Labouvie-Vief et al (1989) , Noam, Young, and Jilnina (2006) have argued that people at various levels of mental complexity may experience and understand their well-being in qualitatively different ways. Bauer (2011) researched the content of the growth stories told by persons with late stages of mental growth (with what he refers to as ‘postconventional selves’).…”

“…We aim to follow up on the interest of Noam et al (2006 ) and Bauer et al in the link between mental complexity and well-being, and use a research design inspired by Kegan’s study of depression. Here we will first divide our participants up into groups according to their SOI score, and then interview them to discover how they experience well-being.…”

SummaryIn response to the ever-increasing longevity in Western societies, old age has been divided into two different periods, labelled the third and fourth age. Where the third age, with its onset at retirement, mostly involves positive aspects of growing old, the fourth age involves functional decline and increased morbidity. This article focuses on the entry to the third age and its potential for health promotion initiatives. Well-being is an important factor to emphasize in such health promotion, and this article views the lifestyle of third agers as essential for their well-being. The structural developmental theory of Robert Kegan delineates how a person’s way of knowing develops throughout the life course. This theory is an untapped and salient perspective for health promotion initiatives in the third age. This article outlines Kegan’s approach as a tool for developing psychologically spacious health promotion, and suggests future directions for research on the topic.

“…Several researchers have found that the WUSCT has excellent test-retest reliability (for both "normal" and clinical populations), with .72 to .79 when comparing total protocol ratings and .91 for item sum scores (Noam et al, 2006). Noam et al (2006) also found adequate inter-rater reliability for almost every study they reviewed.…”

“…Examples of sentence stems are I am ___ and My father ___. Hy and Loevinger (1996) Since the publication of the second edition of the WUSCT (Hy & Loevinger, 1996), numerous researchers have employed or assessed the WUSCT, and have found it to be one of the most valid and reliable sentence completion tests available (Lambie et al, 2010;Manners & Durkin, 2001;Noam, Young, & Jilnina, 2006). Loevinger (1998) found that there is a basis for finding substantive validity, in that (a) novice raters, through training, can understand the underlying concepts of ego development, and (b) veteran raters perform well without using the scoring manual, and instead using their memory of past responses and scores as well as their understanding of ego development; from both of these findings, one can draw the inference that scoring the sentence stems can be done through a substantive understanding of ego development.…”

Counselor educator ego development and ethical decision-making post graduation

Counselor Educators are interested in assessing and promoting the professional and personal development of those in the counseling profession, including their ego and ethical development. While there has been much research concerning such development, there is insufficient research concerning the level of personal development of Counselor Educators themselves, and how such development progresses over the course of their tenure as professors. Thus, this dissertation assessed the ethical decision-making and ego development of Counselor Educators who earned their doctorates from institutions accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) and who are currently working as Counselor Educators at a CACREP-accredited program. In particular, the following questions had sought to be answered: (a) What is the level of ego development of Counselor Educators and how do they develop over their tenure as professors? (b) What is the ethical decision-making level of Counselor Educators and how do they develop over their tenure as professors? (c) What is the relationship between ego development and ethical decision-making as Counselor Educators develop both of these over their tenure? and (d) How do the varying environments, qualities, and responsibilities of Counselor Educators relate to ego development and level of ethical decision-making? Essentially, the Researcher categorized Counselor Educators into two groups, according to their level of tenure: untenured (assistant professors) and tenured (associate professors and full professors). The Researcher then measured ego development, using the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT; Hy & Loevinger, 1996), and ethical decision-making, using the Ethical Decision-Making Scale-Revised (EDMS-R; Dufrene, 2000). The Researcher then compared WUSCT stages and EDMS-R P indexes for each of the two group-mean scores through a one-way analysis of variance ANOVA), in order to ascertain if there were developmental differences between the two iv groups. It was anticipated that tenured professors, on the whole, would be more developed than untenured professors. The results from the present study tentatively indicate that Counselor Educators are well-developed, in terms of ego development and ethical decision-making. Of the four research questions, there was one finding of significance: participants who stated that they were not very challenged by their department had higher EDMS-R P indexes than those who were challenged. v PUBLIC ABSTRACT Counselor Educators are interested in assessing and promoting the professional and personal development of those in the counseling profession, including their ego and ethical development. While there has been much research concerning such development, there is insufficient research concerning the level of personal development of Counselor Educators themselves, and how such development progresses over the course of their tenure as professors.
