The Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory–Trainee Form (SWAI-T) is among the most frequently used instruments for measuring the quality of supervisor–supervisee relationships within counselor supervision. Although the full-scale SWAI-T instrument has proven utility, there are instances when a shorter form may be useful for research and field applications. The current study used secondary data from a pair of cross-sectional studies to test the utility of a brief form of the SWAI-T in a two-step process: (a) reduction of the SWAI-T based on item analyses from an electronic survey of 87 rehabilitation counselors working in a Western state vocational rehabilitation agency and (b) an initial validation study of the instrument using electronic survey responses from a national sample of 228 rehabilitation counselors working in private rehabilitation. The resultant 5-item scale showed evidence of high internal consistency, convergent validity, and minimal differences in psychometric properties relative to the full-scale instrument. An abbreviated supervisory working alliance scale offers practical advantages for select research purposes and for continuous evaluation of supervisory relationships in field environments.

监督工作联盟清单简要表格的验证

督导工作联盟清单 - 实习生表 (SWAI-T) 是最常用的工具之一，用于衡量辅导员督导范围内的督导关系质量。尽管全尺寸 SWAI-T 仪器已被证明是有用的，但在某些情况下，较短的形式可能对研究和现场应用有用。目前的研究使用来自一对横断面研究的二手数据来测试 SWAI-T 的简要形式在两步过程中的效用：(a) 基于来自电子的项目分析减少 SWAI-T对在西部州职业康复机构工作的 87 名康复顾问进行的调查，以及 (b) 使用电子调查答复对工具进行的初步验证研究，该问卷来自全国 228 名从事私人康复工作的康复顾问。由此产生的 5 项量表显示出高内部一致性、收敛效度和相对于全量表的心理测量特性差异最小的证据。简化的监管工作联盟量表为选择研究目的和在现场环境中持续评估监管关系提供了实际优势。
