If measuring social validity is just about getting clients and stakeholders to fill out a 7-point Likert scale, we’d have a pretty short episode this week. Fortunately, it’s a heck of a lot more important and effortful than that. This week we delve into the realm of using social validity measures to improve our practices and to better support our clients. So buckle-up for some thematic reviews of interviews, big picture practice examinations, and comparisons to how much better or worse things are since the 90s. At least, in relation to social validity measurement. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Schwartz, I.S. & Baer, D. (1991).
