Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the level of collective efficacy in the supervision dyad and the performance of the trainee. Eighty-three dyads participated from masters and doctoral level programs in clinical, counseling, counselingPsychology, or marriage and family therapy. Participants completed the Supervisee Levels Questionnaire-Revised (SLQ-R), a collective efficacy measure and a trainee performance rating scale. Results suggest that when trainees and supervisors feel they work well together and can accomplish their goals (collective efficacy), the trainee is likely to perform better with clients. Developmental level and demographic characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, or years of experience did not significantly influence the trainee's performance.
