Rochlen, Aaron B.; Beretvas, S. Natasha; Zack, Jason S.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v37 n2 p95 Jul 2004
This article reports on the development of measures of attitudes toward online and face-to-face counseling. Overall, participants expressed more favorable evaluations of face-to-face counseling than of online counseling. Significant correlations were found between online and face-to-face counseling with traditional help-seeking attitudes, comfort with e-mail, and interest in various counseling services. Counseling and research considerations are reviewed.
