2024 Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling Conference

Table 5. Researchers have identified the need for intentional strategies to facilitate researcher identity (Jorgensen & Duncan, 2015; Jorgensen & Umstead, 2020; Limberg et al., 2020). The first author developed Researcher Story, a tool that guides counselors at all developmental levels and settings (e.g., students, practitioners, faculty) in understanding who they are as researchers. In this presentation, we share the Researcher Story strategy, discuss steps for employing it in various settings, and ways to assess its effectiveness.
