Subject: Dissertation Recruitment: International Supervisees


Dear Dr. McWhirter,

Hope this email finds you well. My name is Asmita Pendse and I am a counseling psychology doctoral candidate at Lehigh University. I am contacting you in the hope that you may be able to help me with my IRB-approved (#16/056) dissertation.

I am requesting you to post the below stated call for participants to the list serve for masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral students in the counseling program/s at your university. I understand if you are unable to do so and thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Thank you very much!
Warmly,

Asmita Pendse, M.A

Dear International Student,
I am an international doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology program at Lehigh University, completing my dissertation under the guidance of Dr. Arpana Inman. I would like to invite you in a research study on international supervisee’s experiences with discrimination. This study is important because, research has shown that international trainees experience instances of discrimination or prejudice in their clinical training (with supervisors or clients) and these experiences can have an impact on the supervisee growth and development. Yet, little is known about how supervisors handle such challenging and critical situations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand supervisors’ interventions in the event of discriminatory experiences and its relationship with supervisee outcomes.

You are eligible to participate in this study if:
a)      You identify as an international student
b)      Enrolled in a psychology or related graduate program (masters/ doctoral in counseling, clinical, MFT, counselor education, social work)
c)      Currently in supervision in a practicum, internship, pre-doctoral or post-doctoral site
d)     Completed at least one month of supervised clinical experience

It is my hope that participating in this study would allow you to reflect on the challenging experiences you have had as an international supervisee and how your supervisor responded to such experiences.  Moreover, your participation would not only help other international students understand how discriminatory experiences play out in supervision, but also aid research efforts in the area of supervision with international trainees.

If you agree to participate in this study, you will be routed to an online survey consisting of several short-to-medium length measures. Total expected completion time is approximately 25-30 minutes. Additionally, if you choose to participate, you will have one-in-ten chance of being selected for a $25 Amazon gift card.

If you choose to participate, please access the survey at the following web address:

I would like to thank you once again for your time and consideration. Please direct any questions or concerns you may have to me at acp211 at lehigh.edu<mailto:acp211 at lehigh.edu>, or Dr. Arpana G. Inman atagi2 at lehigh.edu<mailto:agi2 at lehigh.edu>, or Naomi Coll, Lehigh University’s Manager of Research Integrity at inors at lehigh.edu<mailto:inors at lehigh.edu> or 610-758-3021<tel:610-758-3021>.
