Abstract

[Validity of measurement is an important concept in counseling. We present the results of three studies synthesizing the practices of validation in counseling, with an eye towards comparing the validation practices against the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (AERA, APA, NCME, Standards for educational and psychological testing. American Educational Research Association, Washington, DC, 1999). In Study 1, validation papers published in four major counseling journals in North America in 2009–2011 were synthesized. In Study 2, papers addressing the validation practices on the construct of mattering were summarized. In Study 3, the validity evidence of the Kuder Occupational Interest Survey (KOIS) was reviewed. Together, the three studies provide a broad lens into the validation practices in counseling. The results showed that validation practices were not in line with the current, modern view of validity. Implications for validation research, practice, and pedagogy/curriculum development in the counseling profession are discussed.]
