Research Streams in Rater Self-Efficacy
通过实验和调查两种方法，研究了提升评价者自我效能感的培训项目效果，并开发了高保真度的评价者自我效能感量表，发现评价情境中的威胁评估由四个行为维度描述，两个高阶维度可区分有经验与无经验的评价者。
We report two studies using different methodologies to advance research in the understanding of rater self-efficacy. In the first study, an experimental investigation of the effects of a program designed to augment rater self-efficacy perceptions found that student raters provided with Self-Efficacy Training for Raters (SET-R) produced less elevated ratings subsequent to training as well as reported lower levels of performance appraisal discomfort based on responses to the Performance Appraisal Discomfort Scale (PADS). We also report the survey results conducted with appraisal participants develop a rater self-efficacy scale with high fidelity to actual appraisal situations. Accordingly, appraisal circumstances that heighten the threat appraisal of raters are described by four discrete behavioral dimensions. Two super ordinate dimensions that exhibited significant differences between more and less experienced raters may suffice for a simpler representation of the rater self-efficacy domain. These findings hold promise for advancing efforts in understanding rater self-efficacy.
