The purpose of the present study was to develop and evaluate a training program for paraprofessional helpers. Twenty dormitory counselor candidates were given 20 hours of communication training while 15 other candidates were given no training. The results indicated that the trained subjects demonstrated significantly higher levels of empathy than the untrained subjects and that they maintained their level of empathy after 6 months. Results are discussed in terms of the lasting effects of the training program and the advantages of being able to use trainers with only limited experience.
本研究的目的是开发并评估一项针对准专业帮助者的培训计划。20名宿舍辅导员候选人接受了20小时的沟通培训，而其他15名候选人未接受培训。结果表明，经过培训的受试者表现出的同理心水平明显高于未受过培训的受试者，并且在6个月后他们仍保持着同理心水平。从培训计划的持久效果以及能够使用经验有限的培训师的优势方面对结果进行了讨论。
