Have you found COSE to be useful in your surveys? I would like to share your views with me about its utility, effectiveness, psychometric properties in your research etc). Also, what type of correlations occured at your surveys among COSE, personality variables (e.g. self-esteem, locus of control etc) or training characteristics (eg length of practicum)? Regarding reliability COSE seems to have relatively high coefficients (α = .80 or above) but do you think it is the appropriate measure for research on factors influencing trainees' counseling self-efficacy? I am looking forward for your opinions, tips and recommendations.
