The effects of referent power method, subject self-esteem, and viewing orientation on counselor referent power and client adherence

Typescript (photocopy).The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of two referent power-inducing methods on counselor referent power level and subject adherence to counselor directives for change. The Janis (1982) method and the Strong and Matross (1973) method were compared against an active listening control group. Subject self-esteem level and the orientation from which the treatment films were viewed were expected to moderate this impact. The subjects were 120 undergraduate women who were assigned to a combination of referent power method and viewing orientation treatment groups on a random basis. Their self-esteem scores were divided at the median to create high and low groups. Data were analyzed in a series of 3 x 2 x 2 (Referent Power Method x Self-Esteem x Viewing Orientations) factorial analyses of variance.The referent power methods were found to build counselor referent power level differentially through subject self-esteem level. The Janis method generated the highest levels of client adherence and showed a statistically significant main effect for one adherence variable. Finally, viewing orientation and subject self-esteem level interacted to affect subject adherence. The subject-as-client viewing orientation was supported as a treatment that simulated real counseling conditions in laboratory-analogue research

Tritylation of alcohols under mild conditions without using silver salts

Secondary alcohols were conveniently tritylated under mild conditions within a short running time with tritylium trifluoroacetate generated in situ from trityl alcohols and trifluoroacetic anhydride. No expensive silver salts were needed for the reactions. Four secondary alcohols were tritylated with both mono- and dimethoxy trityl alcohols giving good to excellent isolated yields. The reaction was also tested on four nucleoside derivatives that have primary alcohols. Satisfactory results were also obtained
