Humor and Its Relationship to Students' Assessment of the Counsellor.

Foster, James A.; Reid, Jane

Canadian Counsellor, v17 n3 p124-29 Apr 1983

Examined the use of humor in counseling. Students (N=93) viewed a simulated counseling session containing facilitative counselor humor, nonfacilitative humor, or no humor. Results indicated that nonfacilitative humor is less desirable than facilitative humor or no humor in terms of counselor evaluation, but not in terms of client understanding. (WAS)
