An Evaluation Of Two Work Values Assessment Instruments For Use With Hearing-Impaired College Students, Jonathan Hackbarth, Geoffrey Mathay
JADARA
Two work values assessment instruments, the Values Scale {VS) and the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire, adapted for use with hearing-impaired persons (MIQa), were evaluated for use with hearing-impaired college students. Both instruments were given to 157 hearing-impaired college freshmen and sophomores. Results indicated low to moderate Pearson Correlation Coefficients between comparable VS and MIQa items. Ranking of comparable values items between instruments was inconsistent. Validity of either or both instruments for use with hearing-impaired students is in question due to concerns relating to the paired-form format of the MIQa and the vocabulary of the VS. Further research is recommended.
