Professional Identity Development in Counseling Professionals
Abstract
This study examined group differences in professional identity among 316 counseling professionals (i.e., master's- and doctoral-level counseling students and counselor educators) using the Professional Identity Scale in Counseling (PISC). Counselor educators rated five out of six subscales (i.e., Engagement behaviors, Knowledge of the profession, Philosophy of the profession, Attitude, and Professional roles and expertise) in the PISC significantly higher than doctoral students, followed by master's students. On the Professional values subscale, a different pattern in group comparisons was found with doctoral students having higher scores than counselor educators. Implications for the counseling profession are addressed.

As Woo et al. (2017) noted, the foundation of counselors' understanding of counselor professional identity is typically established through their counseling training, during which counselor educators assist them in developing a mature counseling identity.

“In addition, because each variable in this study represents an abstract construct instead of a concrete one (i.e., distance), there is little likelihood that data transformation would change the underlying meaning of the results (Raykov & Marcoulides, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
