Some researches define it as 'personal and professional influences'. And some define it as internal and external influences. Some of these influences (or I call it as factors) are personality, religion, life philosophy, supervisor preference, training received, peer orientation etc...
Is there any recent study about these influences that affecting theoretical orientation choice of counselors?
Originally i use the work 'factors'. Should I change it to 'influences'?
Noted you intend to use both questionnaire survey and in-depth interview. It depends on what is your research paradigm and how you frame your research question and project. You could use the in-depth interviews, and identify themes underlying counselors' choice of their theoretical orientations, or design the survey based on what the research and literature out there are saying, and use the in-depth interviews to add further insights to what you have captured in your survey data. 'Influences' probably work better if you are approaching this qualitatively and inductively, especially if you have not found much literature in your context and country. But that is only my view, let's see if others can add to it.
