Abstract
The major focus of this study was the investigation of two modeling approaches (cognitive versus participant modeling) used in training students in counseling skills. Perry (1975) and Matarazzo (1966) both recognized the need for research on various counselor training approaches in order to pinpoint which of the procedures used contributed significantly to the learning. Mahoney (1974) stated that there is a specific need for comparisons of covert modeling approaches with participant modeling in order that the processes and efficacies of these two strategies can be better understood. A training study comparing cognitive and participant modeling approaches would contribute not only to our knowledge of counselor training, but also to an understanding of t>.2 basic principles of modeling theory (Mahoney, 1974). In this investigation, cognitive and participant modeling were used to train students to discriminate client statements that were goal-related from those that were non-goal related, and to make counselor responses which had a high probability of eliciting client 2 goal-related statements.
