Abstract
The study was an attempt to investigate variables that operate in making clinical judgments. 3 variables were manipulated: the voice of the interviewee, the content of the interview statements, and the training and experience of the clinician. Judges with one or more years of clinical experience are able to make more accurate predictions about clients'' responses to certain personality measures than can be predicted by naive judges. No statistical significance was found between experience and voice, or between experience and content.Keywords
