Child Psych

Answer: B - The factor which would probably have the most predictive validity in determining whether or not a clinical psychologist would also be an effective supervisor is emotional competence. This attribute refers to the psychologist’s ability to interact and communicate with supervisees in a positive and effective manner. Since all licensed psychologists have undergone extensive academic training, they can all be presumed to be intellectually competent, but probably have minimal training and experience in supervision. However, psychologists vary considerably in the manner in which their personality might either help them or hinder them in a supervisory role.
