Effects of Counselor Gender and Counselor and Client Sex Role on Females' Counselor Preference.

Highlen, Pamela S.; Russell, Bettina

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v27 n2 p157-65 Mar 1980

Counselor ratings were not influenced by counselor gender or subject sex role. Counselor sex role affected the ratings, with both androgynous and feminine counselors rated higher than the masculine counselor. Incongruent androgynous and undifferentiated subjects were more willing to see androgynous and feminine sex-typed counselors. (Author)
