This correlational study examined the perceptions of 45
pairs of masters-level intern students and their field-site
supervisors from the perspective of their supervisory working
alliance and a specific personality characteristic, optimism-pessimism.
Supervisory pairs completed the Supervisor or
Supervisee Demographic Questionnaire, the Working Alliance
Inventory Revised, the Supervisory Working Alliance
Inventory, and the Life Orientation Test-Revised.
Results indicated that supervisor optimism correlated
significantly with the supervisor's assessment of the
supervisory working alliance but not with the supervisee's
working alliance or optimism scores. Supervisees, though
generally optimistic, did not assess the supervisory working
relationship as highly as their supervisors. Supervisor
optimism does impact the supervisory working relationship and
merits further investigation. / Graduation date: 1995
