Abstract

The purpose of this report was to convey the consistent significance of counselors' dress in differentiating preferences for counselors among students from two races and three settings and to discuss the dimensions of dress associated with these preferences for counselors. Counselors' dress, the stimuli, were selected through procedures that avoided a priori use of the formal/informal dress dimension. Students consistently differed in their preferences for counselors wearing varying forms of attire. The results did not support the formal/informal dress dimension as a single explanation of students' differential preferences for counselors. Alternative clothing dimensions were recommended for stimuli in future research.
