Abstract
It was hypothesized that attitudinally similar, potential counselors would be evaluated more positively than attitudinally dissimilar ones. Each S received a 12-item Survey of Attitudes (which evidenced either 17% or 83% agreement with S's own attitudes) purportedly filled out by another undergraduate who was planning to enter the field of guidance and counseling. S then evaluated this stimulus person for his probable level of sympathy, understanding, and effectiveness in dealing with psychological problems and indicated the degree to which he would likely be willing to discuss with this potential counselor whatever academic, family, heterosexual, and emotional problems he might have. More favorable evaluations were elicited by the attitudinally similar, potential counselors on all of the dependent variables.
