This study investigated the ways in which the gender of group leader and client might affect treatment outcome with young adolescents. Seventh- and eighth-grade students were involved in programs for enhancing social competence. Mixed-sex groups of adolescents received treatment from either male or female group leaders. Results revealed gender differences between the male and female adolescents on the outcome measures, no difference on outcome due to leader gender, and one interaction effect on a measure of social skills between adolescent gender and group leader gender. Acquisition of social skills, which takes place through modeling and observation, may be influenced by matched gender between leaders and adolescents; however, other competencies and abilities do not appear sensitive to leader and adolescent gender.
本研究探讨了小组组长和客户的性别如何影响对青少年的治疗效果。七、八年级的学生参与了提高社交能力的项目。青少年的混合性别小组接受了来自男性或女性组长的治疗。研究结果显示，在结果衡量指标上，男青少年和女青少年之间存在性别差异，领导者的性别对结果没有影响，而在一项社会技能衡量指标上，青少年的性别和组长的性别之间存在一个相互作用的效果。通过模仿和观察获得的社交技能可能会受到领导者和青少年之间性别匹配的影响；然而，其他能力和技能似乎对领导者和青少年的性别不敏感。
