Effects of Counselor Disability Status on Disabled Subjects' Perceptions of Counselor Attractiveness and Expertness.

Strohmer, Douglas C.; Biggs, Donald A.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v30 n2 p202-08 Apr 1983

Studied the influence of client-counselor group membership similarity, counselor reputation cues, and attending behavior on disabled subject's perceptions. Physically disabled adults (N=40) viewed a series of vignettes and rated counselor expertness and attractiveness. Results do not support the belief that client-counselor group membership similarity favorably influences client perceptions. (Author/JAC)
