Effects of Self-Enhancement Bias on Perception of Supervisory Feedback in Counseling

The purpose of this study was to assess how the self-enhancement bias of beginning counselors affects their perceptions of negative feedback in counseling supervision. It was predicted that the self-enhancement bias of beginning counselors would help lower the perceived threat of a counseling supervision, and lower perceived threat would mediate positive interpretation of the feedback in a negative feedback condition. In Korea, 203 volunteer beginning counselors ( M = 30.2 yr., SD = 6.7) were shown a videotaped counseling supervision session in which a counseling supervisor delivered either largely positive or largely negative feedback to a beginning counselor. After viewing the tape, these beginning counselors rated their perceptions of the supervision setting and feedback as ego-threatening. Results were consistent with predictions.
