Eight female and 4 male supervisors identified by professional peers as highly competent were interviewed about experiences of conflict in supervision and their dependable strategies for managing it. Highly competent supervisors were open to conflict and interpersonal processing, willing to acknowledge shortcomings, developmentally oriented, and…

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) supervisees were interviewed regarding their experiences of LGB-affirmative and nonaffirmative supervision. Supervisees were asked to describe one of each type of event (i.e., affirmative, nonaffirmative) from their past supervision. In LGB-affirmative supervision, all supervisees felt supported in their…

Examined the validity of an elaboration of Stoltenberg's developmental counseling supervision model. The Supervision Level Scale classified predominant developmental level of supervisees and supervision environments. Supervisee developmental level and supervision environment level were related to mean semesters of supervisee-supervised counseling…

Studied relevance of power and involvement in supervisory relationship. Analyzed by multiple-case-study approach Goodyear supervision interview series and compared results with previous findings. Found each interview, although following pattern of teacher-learner interaction, exhibited unique sequence of messaging style between supervisor and…

Three supervisors had six trainees in each of four groups: modeling-didactic supervision, no-modeling-didactic supervision, modeling-experiential supervision, no-modeling-experiential supervision. Two groups of 12 each received no supervision: modeling-controls and no-modeling controls. Subject responses to recorded client statements indicated…

A supervision analogue was used to determine whether counselor trainees' preference for supervision method affects the outcome of supervision. An analysis of empathy ratings indicated that learning empathy was not contingent upon receiving the preferred supervision. Type of supervision received and interaction effect between supervisor and…

Examined counselor trainees' (N=78) preference for structure in supervision as moderated by level of experience, reactance potential, and the content of supervision. Found beginning students preferred the structured supervision and preference for advanced students was moderated by reactance and content. For relationship content, found that…

The results yielded little evidence that the two methods of supervision were significantly different. More than half of the variance in how a trainee expected to be perceived by his clients was accounted for by knowing how he perceived his supervisor. (Author)

Both the postpositivistic (Ellis, Ladany, Krengel, and Schult, 1996; Ladany, Hill, Corbett, and Nutt, 1996) and interpretive (Neufeldt, Karno, and Nelson, 1996; Worthen and McNeill, 1996) studies in this special section on supervision research are reviewed from the perspective of rigor and relevancy to the critical questions facing educators and…

Examined trainees' perceptions of their counseling and supervision behaviors. Results indicated that higher-level trainees reported greater self-awareness, autonomy, acquisition of counseling skills, and understanding of theory than did trainees at a lower experience level. Implications for developmental models of supervision and suggestions for…

Study results indicated that the supervisees of high level supervisors continued to function more effectively on the measured dimensions than the supervisees of low level supervisors, and that the supervisees of neither the high level supervisors nor the low level supervisors tended to change significantly on the measured dimensions.

The results of this study indicated insufficient evidence to show any training effect for four different levels of training of rehabilitation counselors working for state agencies when rated either by their supervisor or their clients. (Author)

Studied relationship of variables to trainee's postfeedback agreement, recall, and content-evaluation reactions on rating scale measures. Findings indicated field-independent trainees agreed more and evaluated feedback content more positively than field-dependent trainees. Greater agreement, more positive content evaluation, and more accurate…
