| Popis: | 100 This research attempted to reflect the Chinese psychological characteristics in the modern society by examining the effects of bicultural self-concept orientation of the counselor and the client and the effects of the fitness of the orientation on counseling efficacy. Participants in this study included 98 counselors (84 women, 14 men, with the average age of 32 years old and the average professional seniority of 4 years) and 98 clients (59 women, 39 men, with the average age of 20 years old) who received psychotherapy from these counselors for at least 3 times. The results indicated that both the counselor’s and the client’s self-concept had significant positive impacts on their self-rated counseling efficacy. In terms of the fitness of the counselor’s and the client’s self-concept, the difference between the counselor’s and the client’s individual-oriented self-concept had a significant negative effect on the counselor’s self-rated counseling efficacy while the difference of social-oriented self-concept between the counselor and the clients had a significant positive effect on client-rated counseling efficacy. In addition, the counselor-rated counseling efficacy had a significant effect on the client-rated counseling efficacy in the model of self-concept as well as the model of orientation fitness. Finally, suggestions and implications for practitioners and researchers were proposed. |
