Counseling Self‐Efficacy and Counseling Competence in Prepracticum Training

Abstract

Counseling self‐efficacy and counseling skills were examined over time in a graduate prepracticum class. Efficacy increased with training, but its relationship to performance of skills was weak.

Prepracticum Service‐Learning: Examining the Relationship With Counselor Self‐Efficacy and Anxiety

“…Johnson et al (1989) reported that students experienced a significant increase in counselor self-efficacy after observing counseling sessions with role-playing graduate students. Larson et aI.…”

Development and initial validation of the Multicultural Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale--Racial Diversity Form.

“…Some of these instruments focus on basic or advanced individual counseling skills (e.g., Johnson, Baker, Kopala, Kiselica, & Thompson, 1989;Larson, Suzuki, Gillespie, Potenza, Bechtel, & Toulouse, 1992), whereas others focus on certain content specialties, such as group counseling, career counseling, school counseling, or psychiatry (e.g., Margolies, Wachtel, & Schmelkin, 1986;O'Brien, Heppner, Flores, & Bikos, 1997;Sutton & Fall, 1995). Although a few items from some of these instruments were designed to assess self-efficacy in the multicultural context, they tend to focus only on parts of the counseling process and assess this construct at intermediate or general levels that may not be helpful in predicting specific outcomes.…”

“…Most of the existing CSE literature focuses on the relationship between CSE and other important counselor training variables, such as counselor anxiety, counselor performance, and the supervision environment (Johnson et al, 1989;Ridgway & Sharpley, 1990;Sipps, Sugden, & Faiver, 1988). Ten CSE measures were identified by Larson and Daniels (1998).…”

“…Ten CSE measures were identified by Larson and Daniels (1998). Four measures focusing exclusively on individual counseling include: (a) the Interpersonal Skills Efficacy Scale (ISES; Munson, Zoerink, & Stadulis, 1986); (b) the Counselor Behavior EvaluationSelf-efficacy (CBE-SE; ; (c) the Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES; Johnson et al, 1989); and (d) the Counseling Self-Estimate Inventory (COSE; Larson et al, 1992). Two instruments, the Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (COSES; Melchert, Hays, Wiljanen, & Kolocek, 1996) and the Self-Efficacy Inventory (S-EI; Friedlander & Synder, 1983), assess self-efficacy in areas beyond individual counseling, such as group counseling, case management, and family interventions.…”

“…In some of these studies, researchers were interested in investigating relationships between self-efficacy and counselors' level of anxiety, performance, and context of supervision (Johnson, Baker, Kopala, Kiselica, & Thompson 1989;Ridgway & Sharpley, 1990;Sipps, Sugden, & Faiver, 1988). Results of studies conducted on school counselors' self- 2009, 10 (1) 38-42 efficacy revealed that perception of self-efficacy has been seen as an important factor on performance and success of counselors (Larson, Clark, Wesely, Koraleski, Daniels, & Smith, 1999;Tang, Addison, LaSure-Bryant, Norman, O'Connell, & Stewart-Sicking, 2004).…”
