Abstract
Differences in prejudice between “effective” and “ineffective” counselors who were male students in the 1962–1963 NDEA Counseling and Guidance Institute at Purdue University were investigated. Two separate analyses were conducted dichotomizing counselors into “effective” and “ineffective” groups. The first dichotomized group was derived from counseling practicum grades and the second from couselor supervisor rankings. Prejudicial attitudes were measured by the Bogardus Ethnic Distance Scale. The Mann‐Whitney U was employed for the statistical analyses. The findings supported the hypothesis that prejudice is related to counseling effectiveness (practicum grades) at the .05 level of significance. Supervisor rankings and prejudices were not significantly related, although the results were in the anticipated direction.Keywords
