Preliminary Evidence of the Reliability and Validity of a Quantitative Measure of Self-Authorship. Journal of College Student Development 51(5), 550-562. doi: 10.1353/csd.2010.00100897-5264http://hdl.handle.net/10919/25452This article presents preliminary evidence of the reliability and validity of a measure of self-authorship derived from 18 items in the Career Decision Making Survey. The research conceptualizes a quantitative measure of self-authorship as a three-part score that reflects level of agreement with statements at each of the first three phases of development toward self-authorship. The instrument could be used to assess the outcomes of initiatives designed to promote growth in the development of self-authorship.application/pdfenIn Copyrightcareer decision-makingcollege-studentsethnic-identityinterviewmodelArticle - Refereedhttp://muse.jhu.edu/journals/csd/summary/v051/51.5.creamer.htmlhttps://doi.org/10.1353/csd.2010.0010
