“…A second area our study addressed was the relationship between increased interpersonal contact with a given group and attitude change toward that target group. Previous studies have indicated that increased interpersonal contact, within the context of a helping relationship increase positive attitudes of the helper toward the helpee (Anthony, 1969; Cowen, Zax, & Laird, 1966, Goldstein & Simpkins, 1973;Holzberg & Gewirtz, 1963). Little work, however, has been done on the effects of skills training on attitudes toward target groups.…”

Attitudes toward the self, and toward four specific target groups (institutionalized patients, mental hospitals, graduate students in psychology, and undergraduates in psychology) were assessed as a function of paraprofessional skills training and client contact experience. Twenty‐item semantic differential rating forms were administered three times to experimental participants (21 upper‐level psychology undegraduates): during pretraining, after four weeks of training, and after six weeks of client contact. Control participants consisted of 21 upper‐level psychology students enrolled in a traditional academic course. Although the results indicated that experimental participants' attitudes toward the self (p < .05), institutionalized patients (p < .05), graduate students in psychology (p < .05), and undergraduates in psychology (p < .05) became significantly more positive on one or more factors, they were not as dramatic nor maintained as reliably as was hoped. Possible reasons for this finding were discussed.

The urgency of a study of rapport problem between a penitentiary psychologist and a juvenile convict is due to the fact that interpersonal contact has a significant impact on the success of the professional activity of a penitentiary psychologist, and helps to build trusting relationships with an adolescent. The study involved 50 psychologists in educational colonies of Russia. A specially designed questionnaire “Problem-psychological content of interpersonal contacts of a psychologist with a minor convict” was used. The study confirmed that the ability to build rapport with a minor convict depends primarily on the developed communicative and moral qualities of a psychologist. The specialists use a wide range of methods and techniques for building rapport, however, they have fragmented notion on the stages of establishing interpersonal contact, their specificity and sequence.
