Abstract
20 untrained raters rank-ordered typescripts of therapy segments representative of the Truax warmth and genuineness scales on the dimensions of acceptance-rejection and genuineness-falseness. Correlations between untrained raters' ranks and the Truax criteria for warmth were generally positive and moderately high, with an over-all positive r, whereas r with genuineness was generally low and negative, with an over-all low positive value. Vocal cues influenced untrained judges' ratings of genuineness more than those of warmth. Verbal style influenced raters' judgments of warmth more than those of genuineness. Comparisons were made with previous studies of naive judges' ratings of empathy. Implications for therapeutic practice were discussed.
