Journal of Mental Health Counseling, v18 n3 p253-62 Jul 1996

Reports on participants (N=205) who received either specific or general information regarding an informed-consent information sheet. Subjects receiving specific information rated the counselor higher on trustworthiness and expertness even though they recalled less of the consent form than those given general information. No effects due to depression were found. (EMK)
