Counseling is a process between a client and therapist to explore difficulties, learn to see things clearly, and facilitate positive changes (Sexton, 1996). The process is built on a relationship of trust, confidentiality, and mutual respect. The practice of counseling has roots in humanistic, behavioral, and cognitive traditions. Due to the nature of the work, counselors must possess traits that will help them provide effective mental health services to the patients (Kottler & Shepard, 2014). Self attributes that are most important to succeed in a counseling relationship include emotional stability, neutrality, and compassion.
to choose
Questionnaire is a survey suitable for this study. First of all, as the time for investigation and analysis is very limited, for trainees, more accurate ideas of trainees is required, so the number of trainees should be as high as possible. Compared with other survey methods, questionnaires can get more answers in a certain period of time. Secondly, in general, trainees’ information is relatively private, so it may be difficult for ordinary people to have access to them for face-to-face interviews. Therefore, the questionnaire is filled in anonymously and the results are strictly confidential, which can ensure that the privacy of trainees in the training company is not violated. Finally, the questionnaire is used to make the final results easy to be quantified, and the results are easier to be statistically processed and analysed, which saves time for this research. (Mathirajan,2006).
Limitations
For the questionnaire, if it is full of multiple choice questions, it is impossible to discuss a certain question and its reasons in depth. Moreover, if the questionnaire is designed with open questions, the respondents’ answers will be different and difficult for analysis and statistics. And respondents will not necessarily willing to write a long paragraph of open questions.
The response rate of questionnaire survey is difficult to guarantee. The questionnaire must ensure a certain response rate, otherwise the validity of the data will be affected. The response rate is related to the length of the questionnaire, and the more difficult the questionnaire is, the more privacy is involved, the lower the rate of return of participating in the survey. In addition, the response rate of network survey is generally not high, and the quality is difficult to guarantee.
Reliability and Validity
The reliability of the questionnaire lies in the fact that the answers of students are not affected by other factors and they can truly express their ideas. Especially when it comes to privacy issues, such as whether they feel they have really improved after taking part in vocational training, the questionnaire can usually get real information. (Mathirajan,2006).
The disadvantage is that if the questions in the questionnaire are not clearly expressed, it will lead to the trainees’ misunderstanding of the questionnaire, and they cannot accurately grasp the environment in which the respondent answers the questions, which will affect the judgment of the reliability of the questionnaire. (Mathirajan,2006)
