Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study is to test and evaluate a one-time communication training session. Methods: =1.7; 87.5% female). The available data was analysed descriptively and using t-tests. Results: The results show that students who completed the communication training report significantly higher communicative self-efficacy than prior to the communication training (t(15)=-6.04, p<.001, d=.75). Furthermore, the students rated the communication training positively. Conclusion: From the results, it can be concluded that simulation-based communication training can positively influence psychology students' communicative self-efficacy and that they rate the training positively. Communication training can be viewed as an important means to implement the mandated teaching of professionally relevant skills to psychology students in order to prepare them for professional participation in the labour market.
