Investigating the Effects of Dogmatism on Openness and Empathy in Counselors-in-Training

Grant M. Sasse and J. A. Warren

2017

This study explored the relationships between measured levels of dogmatism, openness, and empathy in master’s-level counselors-in-training enrolled in CACREP-accredited programs. Results suggested that dogmatism is negatively related to openness, and openness and empathy scores are positively correlated. Implications for gatekeeping and counselor education are offered.

Keywords: counselor education, dogmatism, openness, empathy, gatekeeping
