Abstract	Small, quick facial expressions termed Microexpressions, have been researched by over a dozen studies in the areas of business, criminal justice, and psychology. The addition of microexpression training could help counselors improve their micro-skills and, possibly, their self-efficacy. Many factors affect counselor trainees' reported self-efficacy, one of which is training level. However, there is currently no available research on microexpression training and its potential benefits in the counseling milieu. This study is a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent groups design and includes both within and between-group measures on the effect of microexpression training on counselor trainees reported self-efficacy. Master's level counseling students (N=45) at one Midwestern university were divided into control and experimental groups by course. Experimental participants (n=20) were administered the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scale (CASES), a demographic questionnaire, then trained in microexpression recognition, which included a pre-test and post-test. Control group participants (n=25) completed the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scale (CASES), demographic questionnaire, then the microexpression pre-test and post-test, but did not receive the training. Both groups were then administered the CASES, and microexpression post-test four weeks later. Results indicated that microexpression training did not statistically significantly improve the second CASES score of the experimental group after four weeks when compared to the control group. Participants trained in microexpression recognition performed statistically significantly better than those in the control group at the first post-test as measured by paired sample t-test. The experimental group also performed statistically significantly higher on the microexpression post-test four weeks after training, compared to the control group when data were analyzed with a Mann-Whitney U test. However, both control and experimental groups' microexpression recognition post-test scores decreased after four weeks. Time and maturation may have had more of an effect on the second CASES scores than microexpression training. Study limitations and implications are also discussed.
