A theoretical Frame of Reference for family systems therapy? An introduction to Luhmann's theory of social systems
Journal of Family Therapy, 1999Co-Authors: Tannelie Blom, L. Van DijkAbstract:The starting point for this paper is that family therapy lacks a theoretical Frame of Reference of its own; thus a stepwise search for such a Frame of Reference is described. First, social systems are defined as communication systems. Second, it is shown in what way a family can be seen as a social system. With the help of the theory of social systems of the sociologist Luhmann, a theoretical Frame of Reference for systems therapy is drafted. Finally, we hint at the implications such a theoretical Framework could have for clinical practice.

Evaluating Frame-of-Reference rater training effectiveness using performance schema accuracy.
The Journal of applied psychology, 2009Co-Authors: C. Allen Gorman, Joan R. RentschAbstract:Frame-of-Reference training has been shown to be an effective intervention for improving the accuracy of performance ratings (e.g., Woehr & Huffcutt, 1994). Despite evidence in support of the effectiveness of Frame-of-Reference training, few studies have empirically addressed the ultimate goal of such training, which is to teach raters to share a common conceptualization of performance (Athey & McIntyre, 1987; Woehr, 1994). The present study tested the hypothesis that, following training, Frame-of-Reference-trained raters would possess schemas of performance that are more similar to a referent schema, as compared with control-trained raters. Schema accuracy was also hypothesized to be positively related to rating accuracy. Results supported these hypotheses. Implications for Frame-of-Reference training research and practice are discussed.

A field study of Frame-of-Reference effects on personality test validity.
Journal of Applied Psychology, 2003Co-Authors: John M. Hunthausen, Donald M. Truxillo, Talya N. Bauer, Leslie B. HammerAbstract:: As part of a test validation study at a major U.S.-based airline, the authors tested the effects of providing an "at work" Frame-of-Reference on the validity of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory among a sample of customer service supervisors (N = 206). Frame-of-Reference moderated the validity of the Extraversion and Openness to Experience subscales after controlling for cognitive ability. In addition, the Frame-of-Reference personality test showed incremental validity over cognitive ability (deltaR2 = .16), but the standard personality test did not (deltaR2 = .05). The authors' discussion focuses on implications for personality theory and research and on implications for increasing the validity of personality tests in organizational settings.
