This research explores the perceptions of junior high school counselors and psychologists on interdisciplinary collaborations. Adopting a concurrent mixed-method design, this study collected both qualitative and quantitative insights. The researchers selected 19 school counselors and 20 school psychologists for individual interviews through purposive sampling. Analysis of interview responses using grounded theory provided a contextual and analytical framework for a subsequent survey involving 546 participants, consisting of 399 school counselors and 147 school psychologists. This group was recruited using stratified cluster sampling, with independent t tests applied to survey responses. The study has three major findings: (1) School counselors tend to perceive psychologists to be lacking in skill; school counselors merely tolerate school psychologists. School counselors have significant yet unmet expectations for interdisciplinary collaboration. (2) Psychologists tend to view themselves as competent, strong, and reliable allies for school counselors, rate their collaborative contributions highly, and hold a stronger belief in the value of interdisciplinary collaboration than what they currently experience. (3) Despite a superficially harmonious relationship, discordant views persist. Most school counselors exhibit skepticism regarding the professionalism of psychologists and frequently dismiss their suggestions. Conversely, most psychologists are only partially aware of the competitive tension that underlies their interactions, yet they retain a strong belief in their own capabilities for handling cases. This study contributes to the literature by detailing the nuanced dynamics of collaboration between school counselors and psychologists. The findings recommend that both parties engage in candid discussions about their collective challenges, enhancing professional dialogue, and forging a stronger team identity through mutual learning. |
