The present study sought to investigate the degree of construct validity inherent in the Carkhuff Scales for the Communication of Empathy and Genuineness in Interpersonal Processes. Since the literature afforded no one, clearcut, consistent nor reliable rating procedure for utilizing these scales a tighter rating procedure was developed. Using this procedure, 83% interrater agreement was achieved when determining a teacher's relative level of empathic functioning and 70% reliability when assessing teacher genuineness. These and other ratings, e.g., student assessment of their teacher's empathic and genuine functioning, observable behavior ratings, etc., suggest that the Carkhuff Scales while valid are probably measuring the same thing. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-07, Section: A, page: 3010. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
