Abstract: | One hundred and twenty educators, characterized by three different professional affiliations (counselors, teachers, and administrators) and two levels of experience (experienced and inexperienced), were examined on their degree of relationship orientation, using the Wisconsin Counselor Education Selection Interview (WCESI) as the criterion instrument. Results indicated that (a) counselors were more relationship-oriented than teachers or administrators, (b) teachers were more relationship-oriented than administrators, and (c) inexperienced educators were more relationship-oriented than experienced educators. Implications for counselor education training and selection procedures are discussed. |
