Variability across sources of performance ratings.

Examined the comparability of peer ratings, supervisor ratings, and self-ratings of counseling performance early in training. Earlier studies of the relationship of performance ratings from different sources have indicated some comparability across source of rating, particularly late in the training process. The results of the present study with 30 21–50 yr old graduate students enrolled in a prepracticum counseling methods course indicate considerable variability across sources of ratings used early in training. Implications and practical training strategies are discussed. (9 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
