Previous research has sought to understand what therapist characteristics contribute to positive outcomes for clients. It is widely accepted knowledge that the alliance between the therapist and client is a significant contributing factor to client outcomes. With that said, few studies have examined specific characteristics within the therapist themselves that may contribute to client success, regardless of the therapeutic model being used. Using data from a sample of therapist-trainees at a large, midwestern institution, this study sought to explore therapist confidence in their theory of choice and its potential impact on client outcomes. Findings suggest that those clients who have therapists with greater confidence in their theory are less likely to terminate treatment prematurely or without agreement. These findings have the potential to inform the curriculum for training programs to focus more on developing confidence in the chosen theory.

Official development agencies are increasingly supporting civil society lobby and advocacy (L&A) to address poverty and human rights. However, there are challenges in evaluating L&A. As programme objectives are often to change policies or practices in a single institution like a Government Ministry, L&A programmes are often not amenable to large-n impact evaluation methods.

Background: Currently, there is conflicting clinimetric data on the patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) and a paucity of evidence regarding the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and tennis elbow function scale (TEFS) in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
Objective: Perform a comprehensive clinimetric analysis of the NPRS, PRTEE, and TEFS in a sample of patients ( = 143) with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
Methods: Establish the reliability, construct validity, responsiveness, meaningful clinically important difference (MCID), and minimal detectable change (MDC) values for the NPRS, PRTEE, and TEFS at the 3-month follow-up.

We investigated the relationships among the moral self-concept, arousal reactions to third-party moral situations, and moral judgment in 5- to 7-year-old children (N = 59). Children's moral self-concept was assessed using a puppet task. In addition, children were shown audiovisual scenes depicting prosocial, antisocial, and neutral interactions between children.

Despite this need, there are no instruments that assess self-efficacy in university teaching in virtual environments. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design the Self-Efficacy Scale for University Teaching in Virtual Environments (SSUTVE) and analyse its psychometric properties.
