The same set of considerations will be taken into account when attempting to make sense of mean scores and variance scores for this second question. The absolute value associated with each of the mean scores must be considered and we will do so when discussing the results from this second question. It is also important for us to compare the mean and variance scores, given the same potential response set distortions in the data derived from responses to this second question. Given these response set concerns, we offer the following listing of mean scores (from high to low) for this second question from our Study One respondents:
How authentically personal do you feel while working with clients? (mean = 4.52)
How effective are you in communicating your understanding and concern to your clients? (mean = 4.44)
How effective are you at co-creating the working partnership with clients? (mean = 4.34)
How empathetic are you in relating to clients with whom you have relativity little in common? (mean=4.33)
How effective are you at stimulating client insight? (mean = 4.32)
How confident do you feel in your role as a coach? (mean = 4.25)
How good is your general theoretical understanding of coaching? (mean = 4.21)
How well do you understand what happens moment by moment during coaching sessions? (mean = 4.09)
How much mastery do you feel you have of the techniques and strategies involved in practicing coaching? {mean = 3.92)
How much precision, subtlety and finesse have you attained in your coaching work? (mean = 3.88)
We turn now to the mean scores (listed from high to low) for the second study:
How authentically personal do you feel while working with clients? (mean = 4.59)
How good is your general theoretical understanding of coaching? (mean = 4.41)
How empathetic are you in relating to clients with whom you have relativity little in common? (mean=4.40)
How effective are you in communicating your understanding and concern to your clients? (mean = 4.36)
How effective are you at co-creating the working partnership with clients? (mean = 4.36)
How effective are you at stimulating client insight? (mean = 4.28)
How confident do you feel in your role as a coach? (mean = 4.26)
How much precision, subtlety and finesse have you attained in your coaching work? (mean = 4.20)
How well do you understand what happens moment by moment during coaching sessions? (mean = 4.12)
How much mastery do you feel you have of the techniques and strategies involved in practicing coaching? {mean = 4.12)
