Abstract: Preferences for counselor self-disclosure based on the ethnicity of both the respondent and the counselor were examined for
African American and Caucasian students. Results suggested that respondent ethnicity affected preferences for certain types of
information about the counselor (personal feelings, sexual issues, professional issues, and success/failure) and that there were
interBction (respondent by counselor ethnicity) effects on preference for disclosure In other areas (interpersonal relationships
and success/failure). Implications for research and practice are discussed.
