Abstract

A tripartite model of relational efficacy beliefs which explains how self-efficacy developswithin close relationships was applied to the context of counseling supervision to confirmrelational sources of counselor self-efficacy. Survey data about relational efficacy beliefs werecollected from 153 counselors and analyzed using AMOS 21.0. The results of path analysis showthat counselor self-efficacy is well predicted by counselors' beliefs about how their supervisorsperceive counselors' ability(Relation-Inferred Self-Efficacy: RISE), and counselors' beliefs aboutthe supervisors' ability(other-efficacy) and counselors' length of counseling experience moderatethe strength of this relationship. Furthermore, other-efficacy predicts RISE and supervisoryrelationships. It is suggested that RISE and other-efficacy play important roles as relationalsources of counselor self-efficacy in a supervisory relationship.
