Advancing the Conceptualization and Measurement of Coachability through Novel Situational Judgment Tasks

• In Event: Situational Judgment Tests

Abstract

Coachability, which describes how one seeks, engages with, processes, and reacts to feedback and other learning opportunities, is associated with academic, professional, and personal growth. We conducted two studies evaluating a novel coachability situational judgment task, in which we expanded coachability’s conceptualization to include growth mindset and reactions to praise.
