“…In terms of reliability, Hong et al (2005) reported a person separation reliability (the Rasch analogue to the coefficient alpha) of .78; the data from the present study yielded a coefficient alpha of .60. As strong evidence of validity, Rasch analysis showed that the items in EAVS-AA-R have the full range of the person trait level and item difficulty level (Hong et al, 2005). The Collective Self-Esteem Scale (CSES; Luhtanen & Crocker, 1992).…”

The authors examined the extent to which Asian American adolescents who were living in Hawaii adhered to Asian and European American cultural values in relation to mental health variables including collective self‐esteem (membership, private, public, importance to identity), cognitive flexibility, general self‐efficacy, and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Results and implications for counselors are discussed. Los autores examinaron hasta qué medida los adolescentes Asiaticoamericanos residentes en Hawai se adhieren a los valores culturales Asiáticos y Euroamericanos en relación a ciertas variables de salud mental que incluyen la autoestima colectiva (pertenencia, privada, pública, su importancia para la identidad), flexibilidad cognitiva, autoeficacia general y actitudes hacia la búsqueda de ayuda psicológica profesional. Se discuten los resultados y las implicaciones para los consejeros.

“…The EAVS‐AA‐R includes a variety of topics, such as religion, politics, and gender roles, that distinguish North Americans from Asians. A sample item is “The world would be a better place if each individual could maximize his or her development.” The coefficient alpha for the EAVS‐AA‐R was .77 (Hong et al, ). Hong et al () computed a Rasch analogue to Cronbach's alpha—the person separation reliability—for the EAVS‐AA‐R; it yielded a value of .78.…”

This study examined the potential moderating influences of behavioral and values acculturation and enculturation in a sample of 113 Asian Americans. Findings from regression analyses revealed that acculturation to European American cultural values, alone and in interaction with perceived racism, was related to less psychological symptoms, whereas enculturation to Asian American values alone was associated with more psychological symptoms. Findings, which partially supported the authors' hypotheses, are discussed in light of the cultural adaptation literature. Este estudio examinó las potenciales influencias moderadoras de la aculturación y enculturación de comportamiento y valores en una muestra de 113 americanos asiáticos. Los resultados de análisis de regresión revelaron que la aculturación a los valores culturales euro‐americanos, por sí sola y en interacción con el racismo percibido, estaba relacionada con una menor incidencia de síntomas psicológicos, mientras que la enculturación a los valores asiático‐americanos por sí sola estaba relacionada con una mayor incidencia de síntomas psicológicos. Los resultados, que confirmaron parcialmente nuestras hipótesis, se discuten teniendo en cuenta la literatura sobre adaptación cultural.

“…Since EAVS--AA had limitations in term of low reliability and unclear factor structure, it was revised using Rasch model. The final 25--item of EAVS--AA--R was found to be an instrument that has a unidimensional factor structure and a coefficient alpha of .78 (Hong, Kim, & Wolfe, 2005).. Participants are asked to rate each item on a 4--point Likert scale that ranges from 1 (stronger disagree) to 4 (strongly agree).…”

Psychological assessment has a long history to be used for diagnostic purposes for all ages. This traditional model of assessment has been common for decades, but has not emphasized some important aspects of best practice (Brenner, 2003). To address the limitations of the information gathering model of assessment, collaborative and therapeutic approaches to assessment have been developed over the past several decades (e.g. Finn & Thonsager, 1997;Fischer, 1970). Therapeutic Assessment (TA) emphasizes the opportunity to provide positive changes in the client and their system by involving the client throughout the assessment process, and establishing a meaningful and collaborative relationship between assessor and client (Finn, 2007). The TA has been found to produce many positive impacts on client's assessment experiences in mainstream American culture. It is important to note how these positive impacts transfer to clients of different cultures. Thus the purpose of this study will be to investigate the effect of acculturation on Asian American parents' perception of existing models of child assessment. This study will examine the relations between acculturation and perception of assessment models In general, many Asian cultures consider the display of emotion or psychological concern as a significant weakness and feel that this would bring shame to one's family (Sue & Sue, 2008). In addition, it has been found that they expect the therapist to play the role of a teacher or expert (Ma, 2000). These characteristics of Asian culture values impact the experience towards psychological assessment among Asians. As introduced above, TA involves substantial collaboration between client and assessor. Clients' input is essential and valued throughout the assessment process. However, the collaborative and self--disclosing Thus the purpose of this study will be to investigate the effect of acculturation on Asian American parents' perception of existing models of child assessment. This study will examine the relations between acculturation and perception of assessment models (information gathering model versus Therapeutic Assessment) among Chinese American parents. Specifically, the study will explore whether acculturation plays a role in Chinese American parents' perception of 4 assessment with or without therapeutic components. It is ultimately important for mental health profession to understand how acculturation might affect one's perception of psychological assessment. Through revealing the role of acculturation plays in Asian American's perception on assessment models, mental health professionals could modify the TA--C or the information gathering model, or combine both models to create the best fit for Asian Americans according to their level of acculturation, in order to ensure positive experiences during the assessment process. 5 CHAPTER TWO: INTEGRATIVE ANALYSIS OverviewPsychological assessment has been commonly used for diagnostic purpose across all ages. Yet, there is limited research focus on the appropriateness...
