STIMULUS QUESTIONS 2 Stimulus Questions: Research Training - Joys and Challenges 1. In what ways do you think scientific thinking might be useful for both practice and science activities? Scientific is thinking in science activities and practice activities alike for it helps us develop models, utilize theories, and implement current research findings into our work with clients and in the articles that we are working on as researchers. The textbook tells us that utilizing the scientific method in our practice and research gives us a mechanism to build upon the knowledge in our field that is “credible, reliable, and effective” (Heppner et al, 2016, p. 10). 2. Identify five activities you can do to incorporate scientific thinking into your counseling practice. Utilize Evidence-Based Practices in Psychology (EBPP), focus on not automatically using my previous knowledge to build hypotheses of what could be wrong with my clients, continuously learning and growing, using data to back up my decision-making, and collaborating with both my supervisors and my peers. 3. What do you see as the most important advantages of integrating science and practice in the counseling profession? Using evidence-based techniques in our practices helps us maintain ethical decision-making that both benefits the clients and helps protect us as helping professionals (Opsahl et al, 2020).

STIMULUS QUESTIONS 3 4. How do you see yourself in terms of being a researcher and/or practitioner? I am not naturally a researcher. Our textbook talked about the three types of students and listed ‘investigative’ as the type who naturally gravitated towards research, and I am not investigative by nature. I am naturally motivated by what I am sensing intuitively from conversations with clients and am ready to get my ‘hands dirty’ in the practice of counseling. After reading these chapters, however, I do think I could warm up to the idea of conducting research. It will just be a long and arduous process before I feel confident in doing so. 5. What do you feel very passionate about in your future as a counselor? Can you see any way that research could help you enhance the work you will do within the areas that excite you the most? I am very passionate about adolescents and the process of developing a solid sense of identity, community, and competence in their teen years. I honestly would love to conduct research and even write books on these topics to help families and teens themselves navigate the challenge of finding those three things. As I would do research in that area, I would naturally become much more competent in assisting teens and families in developing a solid identity, competence in what they are passionate about, and building a community that sustains and supports them. 6. What concerns, obstacles, and fears do you have about scientific training? It simply does not come naturally to me. I struggle to be interested in finding ‘new’ data. I am driven by what can be done here and now to help people. I find it difficult to generate motivation to posit hypotheses and questions that are not immediately applicable to those around

STIMULUS QUESTIONS 4 me. Additionally, statistics make no sense to me whatsoever. It feels like a foreign language, and as ashamed and embarrassed as I am by that, I feel my life is so full of responsibilities and pressures that learning that language would take more effort than I foresee myself ever having. For that reason, I feel as though any research I conduct would be a waste of time. 7. Examine the reactions you listed in question 6; why do you think you have these reactions? I think I briefly stated some of the reasoning behind this reaction. I feel inadequate in the realm of scientific inquiry and experimentation/research. It does not come naturally to me, and I do not naturally feel motivated to learn more about it. I do feel it is important, however. Going forward I tend to have much more of an open approach to any opportunities presented to me which will help me develop in that area.
