Abstract

Based on the Social Cognitive Model of Counselor Training (L. M. Larson, 1998), this study explored the effects of bogus performance feedback on counseling self-efficacy and counselor anxiety. After a 10-minute mock counseling session, 45 master's-level trainees received either positive or negative bogus feedback regarding their performance. Results showed that (a) participants altered their counseling self-efficacy depending on the performance feedback they received, and (b) participants reported changes in anxiety following performance feedback.
