Abstract
This study investigated the effects of gender-role orientation of clients and counselors-in-training, and sex of clients on response consistencies of counselors-in-training. One hundred and twelve master's level counselors-in-training from twelve universities served as participants. Each participant viewed six videotaped vignettes of clients; each representing one of six gender-role orientations. At the conclusion of each vignette the participants were asked to write a response to the question, "What would you say next to the client?" Responses were categorized into consistency scores reflecting gender-role orientations of clients and counselors-in-training, and sex of clients. As hypothesized, gender-role orientations of clients and clients' sex had no effect on the responses of counselors-in-training. However, it was found that the gender-role orientations of counselors-in-training did affect their response consistencies. Post hoc analyses support these conclusions. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
