“…Ethnicity is an important variable to study because "some studies have documented cultural differences in stress" (Ghadially & Kumar, 1987, p. 2). Like many other studies, (Biggs et al, 1995;Ghadially & Kumar, 1987;Marini et al, 1995;Osipow et al, 1985;Ryan, 1996), the results of this one are not able to be generalized due to a small sample size. Third, since stress was shown to have such a large influence on turnover intentions, future research might want to include more variables that measure stress.…”

“…Coping mechanisms were found to be utilized less by younger workers than by older workers, with the exception of Social Support which appears to remain relatively stable throughout the life-span (Osipow, Doty, & Spokane, 1985). Older workers also expressed decreased amounts of environmental stress but increased amounts of Role Overload and Responsibility than younger workers (Osipow et al, 1985).…”

“…Results from studies have been inconsistent and thus the issue of gender continues to be of interest. Gender has not consistently been shown to be a significant variable and research has shown few differences between males and females (Decker & Borgen, 1993;Elman & Dowd, 1997;Osipow & Davis, 1988;Osipow et al, 1985;Trivette, 1993). Fogerty et al (1999) also did not find gender to be significantly correlated with stress, strain, or coping.…”

“…Pithers and Soden (1998) reported, "overall it was found that stress and strain similarities between two national groups far outweighed the differences" (p. 269). Overall, most studies lack enough subjects for results to be generalized (Biggs et al, 1995;Ghadially & Kumar, 1987;Marini et al, 1995;Osipow et al, 1985;Ryan, 1996). Therefore, ethnicity is a variable of interest due to the large sample size proposed for this research study and the possibility of having a larger pool of individuals from various ethnicities from which data can be analyzed.…”

The Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition (OSI-R) and an Individual Data Form were used to determine the turnover intentions of rehabilitation counselors based on an interactive model of stress, strain, and coping. Occupational stress, strain, coping resources, and turnover intentions were examined in relationship with various demographic variables collected from a national sample of 982 members of the American Rehabilitation Counselors Association (ARCA). Demographic variables included age, gender, ethnicity, certification status as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), years of experience, practice setting, the number of clients on a counselor's caseload, and the amount of hours worked per week.Data were collected through a mail survey, with a response rate of 67% (N = 657). However, of those respondents only 22% (N=145) had complete data and met the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criterion consisted of considering oneself to be employed full-time as a practicing rehabilitation counselor. Based on the usable data (N=145), respondents were on average 44 years old and Caucasian, with 63% being female. Over half of the respondents were certified as rehabilitation counselors, with an average number of nine years of certification. The average number of years of experience as a rehabilitation counselor was approximately ten and respondents worked an average of 45 hours per week with an average caseload size of 88 clients.Path analysis was used to analyze causal relationships among turnover related variables. The hypothesized model included age, experience, number of clients on a caseload, occupational stress, strain, coping resources, and turnover intention. The tested model explained 37.5% of the variance in turnover intentions. The results suggest that the turnover intentions of rehabilitation counselors is meaningfully accounted for by variables contained in the model. Occupational stress produced the largest significant effect (B=.404) and had the most influence on turnover intentions. This indicates that it is occupational stress inherent in the job functions of rehabilitation counselors, and not individual coping resources or demographic variables that account for turnover in the field of rehabilitation. Therefore rehabilitation agencies should examine the roles that they place rehabilitation counselors in versus the individual characteristics of rehabilitation counselors in order to reduce turnover in the field.

“…Congruence leads to feelings of satisfaction and well-being, incongruence has the opposite effect. Following the line of argument that P-E fit should also be related to measures of occupational stress (Tziner & Dawis, 1988), Fogarty and Sutherland (1991), in an unreported exploratory study, examined the relation between scores on Osipow and Spokane's (1987) Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI) and both the Iachan M congruence index (Iachan, 1984;1990) and the Zener-Schnuelle congruence index (Zener & Schnuelle, 1976) and obtained correlations of -0.43 and -0.53 between congruence and total stress scores and -0.36 and -0.44 between congruence and total strain scores, respectively. This outcome was encouraging but two considerations led to the present attempt to replicate these findings.…”

Clinical psychology training is a professionally formative period, which provides an opportunity to enable trainees to learn good selfcare skills and mature approaches to learning. If realized, this can support lifelong learning and high levels of professional functioning. This study sought to use transactional coping theory and experiential learning theory to improve our understanding of what factors predict changes in psychological adaptation and professional functioning over the course of clinical psychology training. A mixed prospective within-persons and cross-sectional between-persons design was used. A sample of 183 trainee clinical psychologists (60.2% response rate) from 15 British clinical psychology training programmes participated at time one, 167 of whom participated at time 2 a year later (91.3% of the time 1 sample). They completed measures of appraisal, coping, social support and professional functioning at times 1 and 2. Path analyses suggested that trainees who appraised the demands of training as manageable, and reported greater access to appropriate support, engaged in less avoidance coping, reported fewer problems of psychological adaptation and were more likely to approach the task of learning and working appropriately and resiliently. Implications for clinical psychology training are suggested.
