Item Subscale Question
1. 3 I like to use new types of therapy/interventions to help my clients.
2. 3 I am willing to try new types of therapy/interventions even if I have to follow a treatment manual.
3. 4 I know better than academic researchers how to care for my clients.
4. 3 I am willing to use new and different types of therapy/interventions developed by researchers.
5. 4 Research based treatments/interventions are not clinically useful.
6. 4 Clinical experience is more important than using manualized therapy/interventions.
7. 4 I would not use manualized therapy/interventions.
8. 3 I would try a new therapy/intervention even if it were very different from what I am used to doing.
For questions 9–15: If you received training in a therapy or intervention that was new to you, how likely would you be to adopt it if:
9. 2 it was intuitively appealing?
10. 2 it “made sense” to you?
11. 1 it was required by your supervisor?
12. 1 it was required by your agency?
13. 1 it was required by your state?
14. 2 it was being used by colleagues who were happy with it?
15. 2 you felt you had enough training to use it correctly?

Note: Subscale 1 = Requirements; 2 = Appeal; 3 = Openness; 4 = Divergence.
