Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The central research question is to investigate whether, and to what extent, therapeutic style, personality, need for cognition, contact with people with disabilities, and attitudes towards people with disabilities influence the readiness to work with people with disabilities in future therapeutic settings. All outcomes are measured once at the same point in time (T1) . Readiness to work with people with disabilities is measured using an adapted version of the ‘Readiness to Work’ questionnaire by Schlechter et al. (2020). Explicit attitudes towards disability are measured using the questionnaire for measuring explicit attitudes towards disability (EXPE-B) by Schröter et al. (2019). Personality (Openness, Neuroticism, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness) is measured using the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) by Rammstedt & John (2007). Frequency and quality of contact are measured using items derived from Barlow et al. (2012). Need for Cognition is measured using the Need for Cognition Short Scale (NFC-K) by Beißert et al. (2015). Therapeutic Basic Assumptions are measured using all 20 items of the ‘Basic Assumptions’ subscale from the German version of the Therapeutic Attitude Scale (TASC; Klug et al., 2008). The TASC forms part of the Therapeutic Attitude Questionnaire (ThAt; Klug et al., 2008). | — |

| The following endpoints will be investigated: Personality operationalized according to the Big-Five dimensions of personality is associated with the readiness to work with people with disabilities. Quantity and quality of contact with people with disabilities is associated with the readiness to work with people with disabilities. Theurapeutic Basic Assumptions about people and psychotherapy are associated with the readiness to work with people with disabilities. The explicit attitude towards people with disabilities is associated with the readiness to work with people with disabilities. People with a higher "Need for Cognition" show a higher readiness to work with people with disabilities. All outcomes are measured once at the same point in time (T1) . Readiness to work with people with disabilities is measured using an adapted version of the ‘Readiness to Work’ questionnaire by Schlechter et al. (2020). Explicit attitudes towards disability are measured using the questionnaire for measuring explicit attitudes towards disability (EXPE-B) by Schröter et al. (2019).
