Finally, Table 5 provides a summary of bivariate correlations between the instrument, its subscales, the Secondary Trauma Self-Efficacy scale,
and frequency of RA support of residents. Results
indicated a moderate significant negative correlation between the instrument (∝= 0.94) and the
STSE scale (∝= 0.83) scores, r (206) = -.42, p <
.01. Results also indicated a moderate significant
positive correlation between the instrument (∝=
0.94) and the amount of time RAs reported supporting residents, r (206) = .31, p < .01.

DISCUSSION
Through this study, the researcher aimed to
create and assess the validity and reliability of
an instrument meant to measure symptoms
associated with secondary traumatic stress
within a population of U.S. college resident
assistants. After the pilot of the initial 33-item
instrument, 11 items were removed from the
scale due to low factor loadings or low communalities. EFA also indicated a four factor
structure with strong internal validity measur-
