SEPCQ-Factor 1: Exploring the patient perspective; SEPCQ-Factor 2: Sharing information and power; SEPCQ-Factor 3: Dealing with communicative challenges; MCSD-12: Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, 12-item short version; CRMTL: Course-Related Motivation to Learn; CRSE: Course-Related Self-Efficacy; MSWBI: Medical Student Well-Being Index

^a)Correlations for Sample 2A (N = 463) calculated with recoded (0–4) response categories to increase comparability with Sample 3 + 4 (N = 291)

^b)CRMTL, CRSE: Results only for 8^th semester students prior to taking the course in communication and peer-supervision

^c)Wider age distribution in Sample 3 + 4 than 2A

^d)Partial correlations
