Measuring empowerment in client-run self-help agencies
Open accessAbstract
Abstract“Empowerment” connotes a process of gaining control over one's life and influencing the organizational and societal structures in which one lives. This study defines and validates three measures: the Personal Empowerment Scale, the Organizational Empowerment Scale, and the Extra-Organizational Empowerment Scale.Measurement efforts are based on observational work, baseline interviews (N=310), and six month follow-ups (N=241) in four client-run self-help agencies (SHAs) for persons with severe mental disabilities. All three study scales demonstrated strong internal consistency and stability. They were sensitive to user changes over time and have construct validity.

“While discussing the program theory underlying these agencies' pract ices- that is, a plausible and sensible model of how these programs are intended to work (Bickman, 1987)-we also study it within the context of the general social sciences constructs within which it is embedded (Riggin, 1987).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
