Abstract
This article describes the use of Generalizability theory to estimate the dependability of the clinical cutting scores on Hudson's (1982) Generalized Contentment Scale and Index of Self-Esteem. The clinical cutting score represents a criterion demarking clinically significant from clinically nonsignificant problem levels. Use of such a criterion is an example of criterion-referenced measurement, which requires different indices of reliability than norm-referenced applications. To date, no studies have been reported concerning the dependability of use of the clinical culting score on Hudson's (1982) scales. The results of this study suggest that the clinical cutting scores on both Generalized Contentment scale and Index of Self-Esteem can be used to provide dependable clinical classification decisions.
