Power dynamics between supervisors and supervisees are inherent as a result of the hierarchical structure of supervision. Failure to adequately attend to issues of power in supervision can result in ineffective or even harmful supervision. Currently, supervisors do not have an objective measure of power dynamics within the supervisory relationship or a tool that allows for ongoing measurement and discussion of power in supervision. The authors developed the Power Dynamics in Supervision Scale (PDSS) and investigated its psychometric properties with a sample of 267 supervisees. Results from the polytomous Rasch model indicated that the PDSS items (n = 16) explained 51.77% of the variance as a single factor. Item locations on the logit scale indicate supervisees perceive differing levels of power, meaning that PDSS items adequately identified differences in power perceptions among supervisees. Supervisees perceived themselves as possessing the most power on maintaining healthy boundaries with their supervisors, a willingness to feel vulnerable in supervision, and feeling empowered in supervision. They also perceived their supervisors as possessing the most power in identifying interventions to use with clients, setting goals for supervision, and providing feedback about clinical skills in supervision. Implications for supervisors and supervision research are provided in light of the findings.

临床监督中被监督者对权力的感知：监督量表中的权力动力学。

由于监督的等级结构，监督者和被监督者之间的权力动态是固有的。如果不能充分关注监管中的权力问题，可能会导致监管无效甚至有害。目前，监管者没有对监管关系中的权力动态进行客观衡量，也没有允许对监管中的权力进行持续衡量和讨论的工具。作者开发了监督量表 (PDSS) 中的权力动力学，并用 267 名受监督者的样本研究了其心理测量特性。多分 Rasch 模型的结果表明，PDSS 项目 (n = 16) 将 51.77% 的方差解释为单个因素。Logit 量表上的项目位置表明受监管者感知不同的权力水平，这意味着 PDSS 项目充分识别了受监管者对权力认知的差异。被监督者认为自己在与上司保持健康界限方面拥有最大的权力，愿意在监督中感到脆弱，并在监督中感到被授权。他们还认为，他们的主管在确定与客户一起使用的干预措施、设定监督目标以及提供有关临床监督技能的反馈方面拥有最大的权力。根据调查结果提供了对监管者和监管研究的启示。他们还认为，他们的主管在确定与客户一起使用的干预措施、设定监督目标以及提供有关临床监督技能的反馈方面拥有最大的权力。根据调查结果提供了对监管者和监管研究的启示。他们还认为，他们的主管在确定与客户一起使用的干预措施、设定监督目标以及提供有关临床监督技能的反馈方面拥有最大的权力。根据调查结果提供了对监管者和监管研究的启示。
