a

Load = factor loading of each item onto Factor 1, except for disrespect and abuse items, which are indicated for Factor 2.

b

Items reverse scored; higher scores indicate higher quality counseling. Mean scores range: 1–4. SD = standard deviation.

c

Agree = completely agree.

d

Disagree = completely disagree.
