Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in preferences for counselor characteristics, between ethnic minority and majority group students at Marquette University. The subjects included 51 ethnic minority students and 50 majority group students. They were about equally divided between male and female. A Counselor Preference Scale was used to gather information on the students preferences for counselor characteristics. Preferences were found for counselors of the same race and sex, particularly when the presenting problem was racial, social, or sexual in nature.
