The effects of a role‐induction procedure on beginning counselor‐trainees' perceptions of supervision were examined using a 10‐minute audiotaped summary of Bernard's (1979) model of supervision. Nineteen trainees were administered the role‐induction procedure at either the 2nd, 5th, or 9th week of the academic term. Two self‐report scales assessed trainees' conceptualization of supervision as well as expectations and attitudes toward the supervisory process. Results indicated that trainees evaluated supervision more negatively over the time period before the role induction. Following role induction, trainees reported a clearer conceptualization of supervision and a greater willingness to reveal concerns to their supervisors.
