A Discriminant Analysis of Gender and Counselor Professional Identity Development
Healey, Amanda C.; Hays, Danica G.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v90 n1 p55-62 Jan 2012
This quantitative study examined professional identity development and orientation for 489 counseling practitioners, educators, and trainees as predicted by participant-identified sex and engagement in professional activities. Differences between male and female participants regarding aspects of professional identity were evaluated. Discriminant analysis results indicate sex differences in professional identity development. Additional regression analysis revealed a significant predictive relationship between professional engagement and professional identity orientation and development. (Contains 2 tables.)
