Objective:
This study examines the psychometric properties of the Alliance Negotiation Scale-Supervision Version (ANS-S) for clinical trainees. Analyses were designed to evaluate the relationship between the ANS-S and other measures of supervision process and outcome.
Method:
Online surveys included items from established measures in addition to questions about supervisor and supervisee training experiences. The survey was administered to a sample of mental health clinicians practicing under a licensed supervisor (N = 113).
Results:
The ANS-S (a 12-item unidimensional scale) demonstrated sound psychometric properties, including evidence of reliability as well as content and construct validity.
Conclusions:
The ANS-S was associated with several related supervision measures and outcome variables in the expected directions. These results extend previous findings on the ANS' psychometric integrity and offer a validated measure that can be used in further research on supervision.
