Preliminary Analyses. The measure utilized in this study contained three vignettes that were diagnosed by participants. Each vignette was assigned a point value dependent on the diagnosis provided by the participant. The point values for each vignette ranged from 0 to 2 points. Two points were given for a diagnosis that matched the correct diagnosis for the vignette. One point was given to diagnoses that were in the same DSM-5 category as the correct diagnosis. Zero points were given to all other diagnoses. This scoring system yielded a cumulative score with a range of 0 to 6 points. The overall average cumulative score was 3.17 points while the standard deviation was 1.38 points. Discipline Mean Standard Deviation Overall 3.17 1.38 Social Workers 3.13 1.31 Counselors 3.23 1.36 To test the hypothesis that a significant difference existed between psychologists, counselors, and social workers in regards to diagnosing, an One-Way Analysis of Variance
