The effects of salience of gender attributions and locus of blame attributions on ratings of an analogue counselor

A review of literature addressing the presumed contributions of gender restrictions to psychopathology and recommendations for gender based interventions led to an attempt to clarify individual differences in attributing personal problems to factors associated with gender. The present study assessed the extent to which Gender Salient Attributions (High vs. Low GSA) and Locus of Blame Attributions (Internal vs. External LBA) predict differential treatment evaluations in an analogue context. The hypotheses anticipated the findings of (a) no significant relationships between GSAs and LBAs nor sex of participants, and (b) an aptitude treatment interaction (ATI) of participants' and counselors' attributional sets, where participants were expected to rate the counselor most favorably when the participant's attributions matched the counselor's statement of GSAs and LBAs.
