Hello Counselors-in-Training,
My name is Dr. Patrice Bounds, an Assistant Professor in Counseling within the Department of Leadership and Counseling at Eastern Michigan University. I am currently recruiting participants for my research to explore the Imposter Phenomenon and its relationships with perfectionism, self-esteem, and counselor self-efficacy among graduate student counselors-in-training (CITs). If you are a counselor-in-training, enrolled in a master’s or doctoral-level counseling preparation program, and are currently in practicum or internship, please consider participating in this study.
To participate in this study, you will need to provide informed consent and complete a series of multiple-choice questions regarding the imposter phenomenon, perfectionism, self-esteem, and self-efficacy among graduate students in counselors-in-training programs. This survey contains 81 questions and should take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Information provided will be kept confidential and will be utilized to provide additional insight into these growing research areas for graduate students and counselor educators. Results will be utilized for future publication and poster/educational sessions at national or regional conferences for professional counselors.
Participants who complete the study will receive a $5 Amazon e-gift card. Upon completion of the study, the e-gift card will be sent to the participant’s email address.
Remember, participation is completely voluntary, you can withdraw from the study at any time, and have the right to skip any questions in the survey. If you have questions or concerns about your participation in this study, you should contact the principal investigator, Dr. Patrice Bounds Ph.D., LPC (MI), LCPC (IL), NCC, ACS at pbounds@emich.edu.
