✦ Synopsis

The Expectations About Counseling‐Brief Form (H. E. A. Tinsley, 1982) was administered to 261 Icelandic and 225 American undergraduates. A 2 (Nationality: Icelandic & American) x 2 (Sex: men & women) x 3 (Holland Type: A, S, E) between subjects multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was calculated with prior counseling experience as a covariate and expectations about counseling as dependent variables. Icelanders had higher expectations about counselor expertise than did Americans. In addition, women expected to be more personally committed in counseling than did men. Results are discussed in terms of counselor roles and functions and the role of help seeking in Iceland.
