Is there a reliable scale to measure interviewing skills/performance?

Hello Tugce,

I had no idea whether this existed, so had a look; a lot seem to be written with relation to healthcare and I see that you are in a department for business administration. This is very old, from 1972:

Queen's University Interviewer Rating Scale (QUIRS)

A lot of the more recent ones seem to regard motivational interviewing:

This is a PhD dissertation:

I think this is the author, but she is not on ResearchGate:

I don't know if there is anything here that will help, but perhaps other members will respond who know more about the subject. I feel that there should be a scale to measure this.

Very best wishes,

Hello Mary C R Wilson ,

Thank you very much for your response!

The resources I could find was also related to medical or motivational interviewing but I aim to measure the performance of interviews conducted for qualitative research. So, I was hoping to find the scale in this specific domain. If there is not such a resource, adopting the relevant parts of the scales from other domains is an option, of course.

Thanks again for your help.

Best wishes,

Tugce

Thank you very much for the information. Could you please send the article you are referring to?

Tugce B.

I was looking for the questions as well. Because I aim to test the items' reliability for my sample before using it. Did you use this scale as a single item measurement?

Thank you.

Hello again!

I looked at sites that came up after I searched for '5 point scale with parameters to measure interviewing skills/performance', but most seemed very oriented to job application interviews.

I'm following the responses that you get with interest!

And again, best wishes with this,

Mary
