48 clients in a rehabilitation center viewed two 12-min, videotapes each, one depicting a counselor high in social influence and the other one of low influence. They then rated the counselors on the Counselor Rating Form and the Empathy subscale of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory. Black subjects and subjects at lower educational levels rated the counselor of low social influence significantly higher than did whites and better educated subjects on all measures. White subjects and subjects at higher educational levels rated the counselor of high social influence significantly higher on Trustworthiness and Empathy than did blacks and less educated subjects. Results are discussed in light of the research on clients' characteristics as mediating variables in the counseling process and outcome.
一家康复中心的48名客户分别观看了两段12分钟的录像带，一段录像描绘了一位具有高度社会影响力的咨询师，另一段则是低影响力的咨询师。然后，他们根据咨询师评级表和巴雷特-伦纳德关系量表的同理心分量表对咨询师进行评分。在所有指标上，黑人受试者和教育水平较低的受试者对社会影响力较低的咨询师的评分显著高于白人和受教育程度较高的受试者。白人受试者和受教育程度较高的受试者在可信度和同理心方面对社会影响力较高的咨询师的评分显著高于黑人和受教育程度较低的受试者。根据关于客户特征作为咨询过程和结果中介变量的研究对结果进行了讨论。
