This study examined the use of metacommunication in supervision from supervisees' perspectives. A total of 129 supervisees completed the Metacommunication in Supervision Questionnaire-MSQ, a measure devised for the purpose of this study to explore the frequency and willingness to use various forms of metacommunication in clinical supervision. Measures of the nature of the supervisory relationship (also from the supervisee's perspective) were taken to explore whether a relationship exists between the nature of supervision and supervisees' perspectives on the use of metacommunication. There was general concordance between supervisee ratings of their own willingness and their perception of their supervisor's willingness to use various forms of metacommunication in supervision. There were significant differences in the reported frequency with which the different types of metacommunication are actually used. A factor analysis elicited a two-factor structure underlying the MSQ and significant correlations with measures of the nature of the supervision relationship were observed. It appears that metacommunication around difficult or uncomfortable feelings in the supervisory relationship occurs less often than other components of metacommunication. Future research needs to further validate the MSQ and assess whether the frequency of metacommunication in the supervisory relationship is related to metacommunication in supervisees' psychotherapy with clients.
本研究从被督导者的角度考察了元沟通在督导中的应用。共有 129 名被督导者完成了元沟通在督导中问卷（MSQ），这是为本次研究设计的一种测量工具，旨在探索在临床督导中使用各种形式元沟通的频率和意愿。还采取了衡量督导关系性质的措施（也来自被督导者的角度），以探讨督导关系的性质与被督导者对元沟通使用的看法之间是否存在关系。被督导者对自己的意愿以及对其主管愿意在监督中使用各种形式的元沟通的看法之间存在一般一致性。不同类型的元沟通实际上使用的频率存在显著差异。因素分析得出了 MSQ 的两个因素结构，并观察到与督导关系性质的衡量标准之间存在显著相关性。似乎在督导关系中围绕困难或不舒服的感觉进行元沟通的情况比元沟通的其他组成部分发生的频率要低。未来的研究需要进一步验证 MSQ，并评估督导关系中元沟通的频率是否与被督导者在心理治疗中与客户的元沟通有关。
