来自13个国家的研究人员合作构建了一个心理测量量表来测量职业适应性。在四次试点测试的基础上，在13个国家实地测试了拟议量表的研究版本，包括55个项目。职业适应能力量表（CAAS）由四个量表组成，每个量表有六个项目。这四个尺度衡量的是关心和控制。好奇心和信心作为管理职业过渡，发展任务和工作创伤的社会心理资源。CAAS在所有国家都表现出度量不变性，但没有表现出残差/严格不变性或标量不变性。CAAS分量表和组合适应性量表的可靠性范围从可接受的优秀时，计算与组合数据。正如预期的那样，可靠性估计值因国家而异。然而，内部一致性估计的关注，控制，好奇心和信心的四个分量表是普遍接受的优秀。所有国家的CAAS总分的内部一致性估计值都很好。这份特刊中的单独文章报告了CAAS的心理测量学特征，包括合作构建量表的13个国家中的每个国家的初始有效性证据。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

Researchers from 13 countries collaborated in constructing a psychometric scale to measure career adaptability. Based on four pilot tests, a research version of the proposed scale consisting of 55 items was field tested in 13 countries. The resulting Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) consists of four scales, each with six items. The four scales measure concern, control. curiosity, and confidence as psychosocial resources for managing occupational transitions, developmental tasks, and work traumas. The CAAS demonstrated metric invariance across all the countries, but did not exhibit residual/strict invariance or scalar invariance. The reliabilities of the CAAS subscales and the combined adaptability scale range from acceptable to excellent when computed with the combined data. As expected, the reliability estimates varied across countries. Nevertheless, the internal consistency estimates for the four subscales of concern, control, curiosity, and confidence were generally acceptable to excellent. The internal consistency estimates for the CAAS total score were excellent across all countries. Separate articles in this special issue report the psychometric characteristics of the CAAS, including initial validity evidence, for each of the 13 countries that collaborated in constructing the Scale.
