The Effects of Observation on Self-Efficacy and Satisfaction of Pre-Licensed Counselors

Neal D. Gray, Paul Erickson, and Zareena Kehkashan

2014

This study investigated whether the frequency of direct observation of clinical skills (live, videotape, or audiotape) that occurs in the supervision experience affects pre-licensed counselors’ self-efficacy and satisfaction with the supervision experience. The results suggest that self-efficacy is affected by more frequent direct observation of clinical skills; however, supervisees did not report significantly higher levels of satisfaction when their clinical skills were directly observed more often during supervision.
