This study investigated effects of monitoring on correspondence between nonverbal responding and verbal descriptions of those contingencies, when verbal descriptions and contingencies were compatible and when incompatible. In the Nonverbal Component, the contingency for key pressing was either on a 0.8 s IRT or a 3.4 s IRT. In the Verbal Component, subjects made responses to a statement about the contingency for reinforcement in the Nonverbal Component. Shaping was used to establish targets of 0.8 s and 3.4 s in this component. Results indicated that across 7/8 opportunities subjects exhibited nonverbal and verbal behavior that was sensitive to their respective contingencies regardless of compatibility. This sensitivity to contingencies was not affected by the presence of a monitor.

Therefore, a procedure from an early study was replied apart from changes on the response classes investigated. One psychology therapist and one client participated in this study and 11 counseling sessions were recorded on video. The therapist s verbal responses were categorized according to the Multidimensional System For Coding Behaviors In Therapist-Client Interaction and measured by occurrences. The therapist s verbal responses were requested after the fourth and eighth sessions concerning previous sessions and categorized as analysis reflexion request and recommendation. The results confirm the replied study suggesting that reports request can modify the therapist behavior in future sessions. It was identified a low correspondence between observed and reported verbal responses differently from previous study. The research line seems relevant for providing knowledge regarding the verbal processes that interfere on therapists behavior when submitted to supervision sessions and probably the clients behavior in counseling sessions / O presente de estudo teve como objetivo verificar se a solicitação de relatos sobre classes de respostas verbais de um terapeuta em atendimento clínico pode afetar seu desempenho em sessões terapêuticas posteriores, como sugerido na literatura. Para tanto, foi replicado o procedimento de um estudo anterior alterando-se as classes de respostas investigadas. Participaram deste estudo um terapeuta e um cliente e foram registradas em vídeo 11 sessões de atendimento. As respostas verbais do terapeuta foram categorizadas segundo o Sistema Multidimensional de Categorização de Comportamentos na Interação Terapêutica e mensuradas por ocorrência. Respostas verbais do terapeuta foram solicitadas, após a quarta e a oitava sessões, referentes a classes de respostas verbais observadas em sessões anteriores e categorizadas como solicitação de reflexão de análise e recomendação. Os resultados corroboraram o estudo replicado sugerindo que a solicitação de relatos pode alterar o comportamento do terapeuta em sessões futuras. Observou-se uma baixa correspondência entre as respostas verbais observadas nas sessões e as relatadas pelo terapeuta, diferentemente do estudo replicado. Esta parece ser uma linha de pesquisa relevante, por produzir conhecimento sobre os processos verbais que interferem no responder de terapeutas quando submetidos a sessões de supervisão, e possivelmente de clientes em sessões terapêuticas
