Abstract

The development of the Advisory Working Alliance Inventory-Advisor Version (AWAI-A) is presented. In the first study, data from 236 faculty members from APA-accredited counseling psychology programs were subjected to a principal components analysis, yielding 3 subscales: Rapport (15 items), Apprenticeship (8 items), and Task Focus (8 items). The data also revealed evidence of the AWAI-A's internal consistency and concurrent validity, the latter being demonstrated by correlations with measures of satisfaction with the advising relationship, costs and benefits of advising, advisee interest in science and practice, and advisee research self-efficacy. In the 2nd study, data from 44 additional advisors yielded evidence of the AWAI-A's test-retest reliability and discriminant validity. Implications of the advising working alliance for doctoral training are discussed, and suggestions are provided for future research.
