Abstract: In this study of conservative Christians' expectations of counseling, 100 participants rated their expectations of the behaviors and attitudes of a non-Christian counselor. Results suggest that highly religious Christians expected more in-session religious behaviors from a non-Christian counselor than did moderately religious Christians. Both moderately and highly conservative Christians expected a non-Christian counselor to display attitudes of acceptance and tolerance for Christian beliefs.
