Abstract
Introduction
The purpose of this study was to measure and determine the factors that influence counseling self-efficacy in speech-language pathologists.
Methods
Data was collected through an anonymous 95-question web-based survey. Five hundred and twenty-seven completed responses were received.
Results
The results indicated that participants in the study were confident in their counseling abilities and skills; however, lesser confidence in skills related to personal adjustment counseling were observed. Further, emotional intelligence, internal locus of control, counseling training, and years of experience were positively related to counseling self-efficacy.
Conclusions
Speech-language pathologists may increase their counseling self-efficacy through increased training opportunities and experiences, development of greater emotional intelligence, and by having an internal locus of control.
