Icelandic and American Students' Expectations about Counseling.

Aegisdottir, Stefania; Gerstein, Lawrence H.

Journal of Counseling & Development, v78 n1 p44-53 Win 2000

The Expectations about Counseling-Brief Form was administered to 261 Icelandic and 225 American undergraduates. Results of a multivariate analysis of covariance reveal that Icelanders had higher expectations about counselor expertise than did Americans. Results are discussed in terms of counselor roles and functions and the role of help seeking in Iceland. (Contains 42 references.) (Author/GCP)
