Relationship of Supervisor and Trainee Gender to In-Session Verbal Behavior and Ratings of Trainee Skills.

Sells, James N.; Goodyear, Rodney K.; Lichtenberg, James W.; Polkinghorne, Donald E.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n4 p406-12 Oct 1997

Investigated the effects of supervisor and trainee gender on verbal interactions and on perceptions of trainee skill levels. Results based on 44 supervision dyads show that male supervisors paired with male trainees exhibited more task-oriented discourse than did other dyad configurations. No significant differences emerged in how male and female trainees rated their own skill levels. (RJM)
