A competency framework and measure for psychologists: the psychometric assessment of the Competencies of Professional Psychology Rating (COPPR) Scales

The confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the structure of the measure and all 11 domains of competence. Internal consistency was calculated for each of the domains and the total score, and strong support for convergent and divergent validity was obtained. In addition, the COPPR-S was able to discriminate between the three participant registration groups of provisional registration, general registration, and additional endorsements. Thus, strong support for the COPPR-S as a conceptual model of psychologist competencies and multi-dimensional measure was provided, and the items are presented for use in practice, education and research.
