Examining Predictors of School Counselor Self-Efficacy

29 Apr 2025 10:30 AM | Jean Atwater-Williams (Administrator)

Greetings! My name is Angie Ness. I am a licensed school counselor in Indiana and a doctoral candidate at the University of the Cumberlands, working towards earning a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. For partial fulfillment of the PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, I am writing a dissertation on the predictive relationship of school counselor self-efficacy and school counselor professional identity, how school counselors rate their professional identity on a scale from educator to counselor, years of counseling experience, years of K-12 teaching experience, and caseload size. If you have a minimum of a master’s degree in school counseling, are fully licensed/certificated in the state where you are employed as a school counselor, work directly with students in a K-12 setting, and are interested in participating in this survey, please continue to read below.

The completion of the survey will take approximately 14 minutes and will be completely anonymous. No identifying information will be collected, and your participation is entirely voluntary. You may withdraw from participating in the study at any time. There will be no cost for you to participate.

You will be directed to a page containing prescreening questions, informed consent, and study information if you click the link below. If you meet the inclusion requirements and agree to the informed consent, you will be directed to the anonymous survey, including a demographic questionnaire, the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (Bodenhorn & Skaggs, 2005), and the School Counselor Professional Identity Scale (Jurekovic, 2019). The School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale is a 43-item Likert-type questionnaire measuring self-efficacy. The School Counselor Professional Identity Scale is a 49-item Likert-type questionnaire that measures the professional identity of school counselors. Please consider participating and providing much-needed information on the predictive relationship of school counselor professional identity, experience, and caseload size to school counselor self-efficacy.
