Book Description
This paper investigated the interplay between cognitive and affective processes that impact one's counseling skills (Kusche & Greenberg, 2004) by exploring the relationship of both thinking styles and emotional intelligence to the respondents' self-efficacy in counseling. The research subjects involved 114 PRC-licensed counselors in 32 schools in Metro Manila. To determine the relationship among the variables, the tests administered were Thinking Style Inventory Scale-Revised, BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory, and the Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale. Results revealed that the highest mean scores were in the areas of External (5.71/0.82), characterized by preference to have opportunities to collaborate with fellow counselors; Hierarchical (5.70/0.67), characterized by carefully setting priorities and then sticking to them, rather than preference to work toward multiple objectives without setting clear priorities; Executive (5.20/0.84), characterized by having a preference for tasks, projects, and situations that provide structure, procedures, or rules to work with; and Liberal (5.20/0.87), characterized by constantly seeking alternative ways of solving counselees' problems. The level of emotional intelligence results for male and female counselor-respondents reveal of emotional genders scored low in all domains of El: intrapersonal (F=78.36; M=74.61), interpersonal (F=64.60; M=65.28), stress management (F=78.34; M=78.89), and adaptability (F=68.45; M=67.50). Lastly, the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale indicated that the respondent-counselors are generally satisfied (4.24/0.46) with the performance of their counseling tasks. The researcher therefore supports the need for further researches on how thinking styles and emotional intelligence, as well as other probable factors, can further relate to the overall efficacy among school counselors.

Book Description
Self-efficacy, a central component of Bandura's social cognitive theory (SCT), is an important construct in the realm of therapist development and has been associated with client outcome. Researchers have found that some of the strongest predictors of counselor self-efficacy are level of experience, level of training, state anxiety, and trait anxiety. Missing from this body of literature, however, is an understanding of how the educational format of training (i.e., cohort versus non-cohort) impacts counselor self-efficacy. Because cohort membership has been associated with professional confidence and self-esteem, it was hypothesized that educational format would contribute significant variance to counselor self-efficacy scores. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that those enrolled in cohort programs would demonstrate significantly more counselor self-efficacy and significantly less state anxiety as compared to students enrolled in non-cohort programs. Finally, it was hypothesized there would be a significant relationship between practicum or "internship" status and counselor self-efficacy given that self-efficacy tends to increase with performance accomplishments. One hundred and sixty master's level CACREP-approved counseling programs were randomly selected for inclusion in this study in addition to two programs at Western Michigan University. Participants completed the Counselor Self-Estimate Inventory (COSE), the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (CASES), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and a background questionnaire. Of the 150 electronic surveys initiated, 104 met the inclusionary criteria. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that educational format did not contribute significant variance to counselor trainees' self-efficacy scores above and beyond the variance explained by level of experience, level of training, state anxiety, and trait anxiety. ANOVA analyses revealed no difference in self-efficacy or state anxiety between students enrolled in cohort versus non-cohort educational formats. However, there was a significant relationship between practicum or "internship" status and self-efficacy as predicted. Level of experience, level of training, state anxiety, and trait anxiety accounted for 44.3% of the variance in COSE scores and 36.7% of the variance in CASES scores. The findings further support that counselor educators and supervisors must work to ensure students are able to reduce and/or control their anxiety, receive proper training, and acquire sufficient practicum experiences.

Book Description
The purpose of this quantitative study was to better understand the comparative contributions of emotional intelligence and student perception of the supervisory working alliance to counseling students' self-efficacy, while moderating for age and gender. Moderation analysis was utilized, as well as surveys with significant validity to measure the variables. Data were collected through the Qualtrics survey platform. The findings of this study have implications for counselors, supervisors, and educators as to the level of importance of the variables being investigated, and how relevant they are to the education and training process for students' who seek to become licensed counselors, in that this research has shown the importance of emotional intelligence and the supervisory working alliance to counseling students' self-efficacy, which we know will in turn impact their success as counselors. This implies that a great deal of importance should be placed on these aspects of student training.The results of this study indicated that while emotional intelligence and the supervisory working alliance both have a significant impact on a counseling student's self-efficacy, gender and age have very little impact on the supervisory working alliance, or on emotional intelligence. These results are contrary to previous research which found gender significantly impacts emotional intelligence (Ciarrochi, Hynes, & Crittenden, 2005; Hall, 1978; Hall & Mast, 2008; Hargie, Saunders, & Dickson, 1995).
