Abstract: HEAD START TEACHERS’ INTENTIONS TO IMPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS FOLLOWING MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTATION: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE ROLES OF WORKING ALLIANCE AND TEACHER EFFICACY by Kathryn A. Conaway The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that teacher efficacy would mediate the relationship between the consultation working alliance and teachers’ behavioral intentions to implement the consultants’ suggestions. Surveys were administered to Head Start teachers subsequent to mandated, biannual mental health consultations conducted by graduate student consultants working under faculty supervision. Multiple regression tests for mediation were used to analyze the data. Results of the analyses failed to support the study hypotheses. However, post hoc analyses revealed significant relationships. The discussion of the results focuses on possible explanations for the significant and nonsignificant findings, limitations of the study, and directions for future research.
