We translated the 18-item Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP) into German and aimed at replicating its factor structure. Further, we investigated the reliability of the questionnaire and its convergence with trait measures. A heterogeneous sample of N = 969 participants took part in our online survey. Performing ESEM models, we found acceptable model fit for a four-factor structure similar to the original factor structure. Furthermore, we propose an alternative model following the adjustment of single items. The German C-NIP showed acceptable to good reliability, as well as small correlations with Big-Five personality traits, trait and attachment anxiety, locus of control, and temporal focus. However, we recommend further replication of the factor structure and further validation of the C-NIP.

However, whereas a significant body of research investigated preferences regarding specific treatments, research on preferred activities or therapist characteristics is rare, investigated heterogeneous aspects with inconclusive results, lacked validated assessment tools, and neglected relevant preferences, their predictors as well as the perspective of mental health professionals. Therefore, the three studies of this dissertation aimed to address the most fundamental drawbacks in current preference research by providing a validated questionnaire, focus efforts on activity and therapist preferences and add preferences of psychotherapy trainees. To this end, Paper I reports the translation and validation of the 18-item Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preference (C-NIP) in a broad, heterogeneous sample of N = 969 laypeople, resulting in good to acceptable reliabilities and first evidence of validity. However, the original factor structure was not replicated. Paper II assesses activity preferences of psychotherapists in training using the C-NIP and compares them with the initial laypeople sample. There were significant differences between both samples, with trainees preferring a more patient-directed, emotionally intense and confrontational approach than laypeople. CBT trainees preferred a more therapist-directed, present-focused, challenging and less emotional intense approach than psychodynamic or -analytic trainees. Paper III explores therapist preferences and tests predictors for specific preference choices. For most characteristics, more than half of the participants did not have specific preferences. Results pointed towards congruency effects (i.e., preference for similar characteristics), especially for members of marginalized groups. The dissertation provides both researchers and practitioners with a validated questionnaire, shows potentially obstructive differences between patients and therapists and underlines the importance of therapist characteristics for marginalized groups, thereby laying the foundation for future applications and implementations in research and practice. N2 - Aktuelle Definitionen von evidenzbasierter Psychotherapie betonen neben Faktoren wie Therapiearten, Interventionen, Therapeut:inneneffekte, Beziehungseffekte und Patient:innenfaktoren die Relevanz von Präferenzen für den Therapieprozess und -erfolg. Während Behandlungspräferenzen bereits in vielen Studien untersucht wurden, gibt es nur wenige heterogene Ergebnisse zu Präferenzen bezüglich des psychotherapeutischen Vorgehens sowie gewünschter Eigenschaften von Psychotherapeut:innen. Zudem fehlen ein validierter Fragebogen, wichtige Präferenzen und deren Prädiktoren sowie die Perspektive der Behandler:innen. Die Dissertation greift daher die größten Lücken der Präferenzforschung im Rahmen von drei Studien zu Aktivitäts- und Therapeut:innenpräferenzen auf. Paper I stellt die Übersetzung und Validierung des Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences in einer breiten Bevölkerungsstichprobe (N = 969) dar. Obwohl die Originalfaktorstruktur nicht repliziert werden konnte, erfasst die Skala vier Faktoren der Aktivitätspräferenz reliabel und valide. Paper II ergänzt eine Stichprobe von N = 466 Psychotherapeut:innen in Ausbildung (PiA) und vergleicht diese mit der ursprünglichen Bevölkerungsstichprobe. PiAs präferierten dabei einen signifikant stärkeren patientengeleiteten, emotional fordernden und konfrontativen Ansatz. PiAs der KVT präferierten im Vergleich zu PiAs der Psychoanalyse oder -dynamik einen therapeutengeleiteten, gegenwärtigen, konfrontativen und weniger emotional fordernden Ansatz. Paper III untersuchte Präferenzen hinsichtlich mehrerer Therapeut:inneneigenschaften und deren Prädiktoren. Für die meisten Eigenschaften gaben mehr als die Hälfte der Proband:innen an, keine spezifischen Präferenzen zu haben. Es zeigten sich jedoch Kongruenzeffekte, insbesondere für Personen aus marginalisierten Gruppen. Die Dissertation legt den Grundstein für künftige Anwendungen von Präferenzen für Forschende und Behandelnde, indem ein validierter Fragebogen vorgestellt, potentiell hinderliche Unterschiede zwischen Patient:innen und Therapeut:innen beschrieben und die Relevanz von Therapeut:inneneigenschaften für marginalisierte Gruppen dargestellt wird.
