Likelihood of Return to a Christian Counselor (LRCC)

 



The Likelihood of Return to a Christian Counselor (LRCC) is a one-item scale.

Participants in a study of Christian counseling answered one question (“Based on your experience, how likely are you to see a Christian counselor if you felt the need for counseling in the future?”) posed in the Likelihood of Return to a Christian Counselor (LRCC; Sutton et al., 2018). 

The participants responded on a 5-point scale of likelihood (Highly likely, Somewhat likely, Neutral, Somewhat unlikely, Not at all likely). 

In study 2, the SCC was significantly positively correlated with the following measures:

Schwartz Outcome Scale (SOS) .56

Theistic Outcome Scale (TSOS) .62

Adult Hope Scale   .53

 Avoidant subscale of the Attachment to God Inventory  -.46

Spiritual Practices Index  .43

Intratextual Fundamentalism Scale   .51

the number of treatment sessions  .36

Related Scale

Satisfaction With Counseling (SWC)

Generalization

Although the measure was used to assess the likelihood of Christian counseling, it could obviously be reworded for other religious or nonreligious counseling. Of course, significant relationships would need to be re-assessed by at least there is a basis for considering the value of a one-item question in clinical practice or research.
