The purpose of the study was to reveal the client´s reliance to the relation of counselor´s nonverbal behaviors and client´s personality types. The video tapes recording the counselor´s nonverbal and verbal behavior showed to the clients by characterrizing internal or external control type questionnaire. Then, Clients evaluated the reliablity to the counselor. Subjects were sampled by the internal-external control questionnaire. This was tested to the 428 undergraduate students. In the test, Upper 30%(internal control group) and lower 30%(exteranl control group) were sampled; Each group was 15 subjects.
Data were analyzed with IBM-PC, preprogramed SAS. In the statistical analysis, the control types were followed by two-way ANOVA in the repeated measures.
The major findings were that; 1)The reliability score by clients to the client´s personality type was not difference. 2)This, however, score was significantly differented to the counselor´s nonverbal and verbal behavior. 3)Interaction effect was significant in the client´s personality types and counselor´s nonverbal and verbal behaviors.
In the interaction effect; the main effects was examined. Firstly, internal control type of clients did not different in the nonverbal and verbal behavior. Secondly, external control type showed significant difference in scoring reliability to the counselors; Nonverbal behaviors of the counselor aquired highter reliablility score than verbal behavior only shown.
This results that internal control of the clients personality did not effect on the client´s reliability perception to the counselor´s behavior types. External control, however, was affected by the counselor´s nonverbal behavior. Therefore, the external controllers were more susceptible to the counselor´s nonverbal behavior than the internal controllers.
