    • Abstract:
      Sixty male seniors with deficient job-interviewing skills were randomly assigned to one of five cells in a 2 x 2 + 1 design. The presence or absence of two kinds of counselor self-disclosures was crossed and embedded in a standard interview skills-training program. The standard program and an additional no-treatment cell served as control conditions. Four different counselors treating participants on an individual basis provided predetermined, genuine self-disclosures at different points in the interviews. Their self-disclosures reflected the qualities of intimacy and/or skill display. Comparisons between the existential and coping-mastery model literatures were drawn. The supposition that counselor self-disclosures lead to improvements in counseling process and outcome was not supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
