This study was designed to investigate the differential effects of behavioral counselors. It was hypothesized that behavorial counselors who were facilitative, that is, high in their offerings of warmth, empathy, and genuineness, would be more effective than nonfacilitative behavioral counselors, that is, low in their offerings of warmth, empathy, and genuineness. Both types of counselors received an equal amount of training in verbal reinforcement procedures. The criterion variable was frequency of verbal information-seeking responses. The hypothesis was confirmed. Implications for more effective utilization of manpower resources were discussed.
