The Supervisor Trainee Quarterly Evaluation (STQE) has been available to preinternship doctoral training clinics nationwide for more than a decade, via the Association for Psychology Training Clinics (APTC). However, no psychometric examinations of the measure have been published. The current study sought to explore the factor structure of this measure and assess its basic psychometric properties (i.e., descriptive statistics, scale internal consistency, interitem correlations, and predictive validity). Data came from 217 STQE forms based on supervisor rating of 38 trainees (6 consecutive and complete training cohorts). A 1-factor model had acceptable fit, but a bifactor model showed the best fit and suggested the STQE measures overarching general competency as well as specific foundational and functional competencies. Internal consistency for the general scale was high, and the total scale score demonstrated predictive validity by being significantly correlated with (a) formal remediation or termination from doctoral training, (b) program-vetted total number of intervention hours, and (c) program-vetted total number of supervision hours. The STQE provides a psychometrically sound measure of overall competency that predicts important preinternship benchmarks.

主管实习生季度评估 (STQE)：用作衡量能力的心理测量支持。

十多年来，通过心理学培训诊所协会 (APTC)，主管实习生季度评估 (STQE) 已可用于全国范围内的实习前博士培训诊所。但是，尚未发布该措施的心理测量检查。目前的研究试图探索该测量的因素结构并评估其基本心理测量特性（即描述性统计、量表内部一致性、项目间相关性和预测效度）。数据来自 217 个 STQE 表格，基于 38 名学员（6 个连续和完整的培训队列）的主管评级。单因素模型具有可接受的拟合，但双因素模型显示出最佳拟合，并建议 STQE 衡量总体能力以及特定的基础和功能能力。总体量表的内部一致性很高，总分通过与 (a) 博士培训的正式补救或终止，(b) 计划审查的干预总时数和 (c) 计划显着相关来证明预测有效性- 审查监督总时数。STQE 提供了一种心理测量学上可靠的整体能力衡量标准，可以预测重要的实习前基准。
