Summary
This study introduces the Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS) to measure personal and social dimensions of employability. The validated scale aids in assessing job transition and career development for diverse populations.
Area of Science:
- Labor Economics
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Employability is crucial for full employment, active citizenship, and poverty reduction in the European Union.
- Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of employability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a multidimensional Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS).
- To assess both individual indicators and personal circumstances influencing employability based on the Bioecological Model.
Main Methods:
- The study involved a heterogeneous sample of 489 individuals, including precarious workers, professionals, prisoners, and the long-term unemployed.
- Data were collected to develop and test the Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS).
- Statistical analyses were performed to confirm the scale's multidimensional structure and validity.
Main Results:
- The Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS) demonstrated a robust multidimensional structure.
- Evidence supports the validity and reliability of the EAS as an instrument for measuring employability.
- The scale provides interpretive criteria for assessing employability scores.
Conclusions:
- The EAS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring employability across diverse populations.
- Findings offer theoretical and practical implications for social/labor integration, job transition, and career development.
- The EAS can inform training program effectiveness and intervention policies to enhance employability.

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

1.9K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.

Hydronium and hydroxide ions are present both in pure water and in all aqueous solutions, and their concentrations are inversely proportional as determined by the ion product of water (Kw). The concentrations of these ions in a solution are often critical determinants of the solution’s properties and the chemical behaviors of its other solutes. Two different solutions can differ in their hydronium or hydroxide ion concentrations by a million, billion, or even trillion times. A common means of...

01:29Reliability and Validity
14.0K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

In vitro dissolution and drug release tests assess how quickly and how much of a drug is released from its dosage form into an aqueous medium under standardized laboratory conditions. These tests are essential tools in pharmaceutical development and quality assurance, offering insight into the drug's performance before clinical use.During formulation development, dissolution testing identifies incomplete or inconsistent drug release issues. It also supports decisions on selecting the optimal...

Method validation is a crucial process in analytical chemistry designed to confirm that a given method consistently produces reliable and high-quality results. This process is essential when a method is applied to different sample matrices or when procedural modifications are made, ensuring that the results meet acceptable standards across various applications.
