The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between counselor sex role and counselor social power. The subjects for this study were one hundred and fifty white female undergraduates, enrolled in the College of Education, Florida State University; Tallahassee, Florida. The one hundred and fifty subjects were randomly assigned to four treatment groups specifying a particular counselor sex role (i.e., masculine, feminine, undifferentiated, androgynous) and a control group. There were thirty subjects per group. A Pretest Posttest Control Group design was the experimental design for this study. The subjects reviewed a five minute analogue audio-taped counseling session, and rated the counselor in the tape using the Counselor Rating Form. The subjects then reviewed a description sheet containing general background information on sex role and a specification of the sex role of the counselor in the audio-tape. Then, the subjects reviewed the audio-tape a second time and used the Counselor Rating Form to rate the counselor in the audio-tape a second time. The data from this study was subjected to a One-Way Analysis of Covariance, the Newman-Keuls Multiple Range test and the Contingency Coefficient. The probability level established for the study was p < .05. Results from this study indicated a significant effect of three of the four counselor sex role specifications (i.e., masculine, undifferentiated, androgynous) on the subject's CRF posttest ratings of counselor social power. However, the results did not indicate a significant relationship between counselor sex role and counselor social power. Additional research into the relationship between counselor sex role and counselor social power is recommended to further clarify the relationship between counselor sex role and counselor social power. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-08, Section: A, page: 2196. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
