The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial impressions formed by 86 clients of counselors based on the counselors' attire. Clients' perceptions of counselors' selected characteristics of caring, authenticity, competency, and trustworthiness were assessed. In addition, clients reported their willingness to see a counselor based on their initial impression of the counselors' attire. Analysis showed that most of the clients preferred a moderate style of dress (neither too formal nor too casual) for both male and female counselors. A strong positive association was found between the counselors' attire and the clients' perception of the four selected characteristics of counselors.
本研究的目的是评估86位客户基于咨询师着装对其形成的第一印象。评估了客户对咨询师所具备的关怀、真诚、能力和可信赖等特质的看法。此外，客户报告了基于对咨询师着装的第一印象，他们是否愿意再次咨询该咨询师。分析表明，大多数客户认为男性和女性咨询师的着装风格适中（既不过于正式也不过于随意）为好。研究发现，咨询师的着装与客户对咨询师所选定的四个特质的看法之间存在强烈的正相关。
