ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to find out the influence of
counsellor gender, experience and students gender on students
perception of the counsellor's capacity to help them solve
some adjustment problems. One hundred and twenty senior
secondary two students (60 boys and 60 girls) participated in
the study. The students were divided into two groups. The
first group listened to an introduction of an experienced
male and female counsellor, while the second group listened
to an introduction of an inexperienced male and female
counsellor. Thereafter, students in both groups completed
the Counsellor Evaluation Scale (CES).
The results showed that irrespective of experience, both
male and fem~le counsellors were rated very high on the CES. ,"
It was found that type of students' concern rather than
counsellor gender largely influenced the perception of the
counsellor as a helper. In other words, the counsellor's
gender was not a critical factor in determining the level of
confidence the students reposed in the counsellor as a helper.
Among other recommendations, there should be no gender
discrimination in the deploYment of counsellors to schools.
Where possible, both male and female counsellors should be
posted to one school to give students opportunity to discuss
their concerns with the counsellor or their ehoice.
