Abstract

ABSTRACT: The authors tested the hypothesized model fit between the three-dimensional factor structure of the revised Fit, Stigma, and Value (FSV) scale, a screening tool for appraising barriers to attendance in counseling, with a national sample of 369 counselor trainees from 57 CACREP-accredited programs. Results of a second-order confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-dimensional factor structure of the revised FSV Scale and the presence of a higher-order factor. Researchers also identified demographic differences in counselor trainees' sensitivity to the FSV barriers. Results and implications of the utility of the revised FSV Scale for enhancing the practice of clinical supervision are discussed.
