The present study investigates the role of perceived social support and development-focused feedback techniques on behavioral integration of feedback in the context of individual psychological assessment. We hypothesized that development-focused techniques would predict participants’ motivational intention to act on feedback and tested whether perceived social support would mediate or moderate the relationship between motivational intention and behavioral outcomes. We performed structural equation modeling analyses on data collected at two time-points. Two hundred and forty (N = 240) participants completed questionnaires immediately after their feedback session (T1) and 138 of them completed questionnaires three months later (T2). The model results, χ2 = 230.09, p < .01, CFI = .97, TLI = .97, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .03 90% CI [.02, .05], suggest that development-focused techniques predict motivational intention, social support mediates the relationship between motivational intention and developmental activities (R2 = .31), and social support also interacts with development-focused techniques to predict behavior change (R2 = .40). The relationship between social support and behavioral change is higher when the assessor uses few development-focused techniques (at –1 SD, b = .32, p < .001, 95% CI [.27, .36]). The study provides empirical insights about how behavioral change unfolds in an IPA feedback context and suggests that participants could benefit from obtaining social support to act on feedback. Assessors should focus on development during feedback and encourage the participant to seek social support to facilitate their subsequent professional development. Because the findings rely on self-reported data, future studies would benefit from including observed measures.

个人心理评估反馈的行为整合：评估者和社会支持

本研究调查了感知社会支持和以发展为中心的反馈技术在个人心理评估背景下对反馈行为整合的作用。我们假设以发展为中心的技术可以预测参与者对反馈采取行动的动机意图，并测试感知到的社会支持是否会调解或调节动机意图和行为结果之间的关系。我们对在两个时间点收集的数据进行了结构方程建模分析。两百四十（ñ= 240) 参与者在他们的反馈会议 (T1) 后立即完成了问卷调查，其中 138 人在三个月后完成了问卷调查 (T2)。模型结果，χ2= 230.09,p< .01, CFI = .97, TLI = .97, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .03 90% CI [.02, .05]，表明以发展为中心的技术可以预测动机意图，社会支持介导两者之间的关系动机意图和发展活动（R2= .31），社会支持也与以发展为中心的技术相互作用以预测行为变化（R2= .40)。当评估者很少使用以发展为中心的技术时，社会支持和行为改变之间的关系会更高（在 –1标清,b= .32,p< .001, 95% CI [.27, .36])。该研究提供了关于行为变化如何在 IPA 反馈环境中展开的实证见解，并表明参与者可以从获得社会支持以根据反馈采取行动中受益。评估员应在反馈过程中关注发展，并鼓励参与者寻求社会支持，以促进他们随后的专业发展。由于研究结果依赖于自我报告的数据，未来的研究将受益于包括观察到的措施。
