Abstract
Accurately measuring college students’ capacities for social perspective taking (SPT), an ability to see others’ points of view and incorporate them into one’s own worldview, is challenging, forcing researchers and practitioners to rely on assorted approaches to self-assessments. Little has been published about how various self-assessments of SPT may differ. Using data from a homegrown, precollege, first-year student survey (FYSS) and the 2018 Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership (MSL) with a retroactive SPT measure, this study found no statistically significant differences between two different approaches for measuring SPT among first-year students when treated as a scale, but statistically significant differences for two of the three SPT measures when treated as single-item questions.
