Popis: One hundred twenty-eight female teachers were classified by degree of dogmatism, locus of control, and teaching experience, and then were randomly assigned to view a videotape of either a 'mental health' consultant or a 'behavioral' consultant. The tapes were originally used in a study by Medway and Forman (1980) who reported that, at least in the early stages of consultation, teachers preferred behavioral consultation over mental health consultation. Our findings are essentially in agreement with those of Medway and Forman and were expressed via significantly higher teacher ratings on scales measuring satisfaction with consultation, teacher strength, and the resolution of the referral problem. Several interaction effects are also discussed.
