A rating scale was developed to measure the progress of graduate students in psychology programs toward competence. Content for the scale was based on American Psychological Association’s (APA) Standards of Accreditation for Health Service Psychology. Content validity evidence was collected on a pilot version of the Rutgers Instrument for Evaluation of Students in Psychology (RIESP) based on feedback from 11 experts in educational and psychological measurement, indicating the items were usable and fit the appropriate domains and areas. A field study was conducted on the next iteration of the RIESP to collect evidence including internal consistency, validity based on internal structure, and validity based on relations with other variables. Participants included 36 supervisors and 43 students associated with a doctoral level school psychology program. Scores from the RIESP primarily had internal consistency in the excellent range, and its subscale scores correlated in the very large and nearly perfect ranges. The RIESP total score shared correlations in the medium range with the Praxis School Psychologist test, in the very large range with the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Psychology test, and in the large range with the verbal reasoning task of the GRE General test. These findings are discussed within a classical test theory framework, providing evidence for the RIESP and similar measures of graduate student competence in psychology.

罗格斯心理学学生评估工具的开发和初步验证。

开发了一个评分量表来衡量心理学项目研究生在能力方面的进步。该量表的内容基于美国心理学会 (APA) 的卫生服务心理学认证标准。根据 11 位教育和心理测量专家的反馈，在罗格斯心理学学生评估工具 (RIESP) 的试点版本上收集了内容有效性证据，表明这些项目是可用的并且适合适当的领域和领域。对 RIESP 的下一次迭代进行了实地研究，以收集证据，包括内部一致性、基于内部结构的有效性以及基于与其他变量关系的有效性。参与者包括与博士水平的学校心理学课程相关的 36 名主管和 43 名学生。RIESP 的分数主要在优秀范围内具有内部一致性，其子量表在非常大且近乎完美的范围内得分。RIESP 总分在中等范围内与 Praxis 学校心理学家测试、在非常大范围内与研究生入学考试 (GRE) 心理学测试以及在较大范围内与 GRE 普通测试的口头推理任务共享相关性。这些发现在经典测试理论框架内进行了讨论，为 RIESP 和类似的研究生心理学能力测量提供了证据。并且其分量表分数在非常大且近乎完美的范围内相关。RIESP 总分在中等范围内与 Praxis 学校心理学家测试、在非常大范围内与研究生入学考试 (GRE) 心理学测试以及在较大范围内与 GRE 普通测试的口头推理任务共享相关性。这些发现在经典测试理论框架内进行了讨论，为 RIESP 和类似的研究生心理学能力测量提供了证据。并且其分量表分数在非常大且近乎完美的范围内相关。RIESP 总分在中等范围内与 Praxis 学校心理学家测试、在非常大范围内与研究生入学考试 (GRE) 心理学测试以及在较大范围内与 GRE 普通测试的口头推理任务共享相关性。这些发现在经典测试理论框架内进行了讨论，为 RIESP 和类似的研究生心理学能力测量提供了证据。
