“…Professional women, for example, have been characterized as more psychodynamic-oriented in comparison to the cognitive behavioral orientation of males (Korner & Goldberg, 1996). Women are also more likely to use different clients' characteristics to formulate prognostic decisions (Zygmond & Denton, 1988), to empathize with victims (Attias & Goodwin, 1985;Jackson & Nuttall, 1993;Zellman & Bell, 1989), and to be tolerant and accepting with clients (Jones & Zoppel, 1982).…”

The present study examines the effects of demographic and personality variables on child protection workers' decisions in emergency situations. Four vignettes, describing emergency situations related to boys and girls, were randomly administered to 154 registered child protection workers by mail. The decision concerning the severity of the intervention was found to be associated with child's gender, worker's gender, and worker's authoritarianism. These results are discussed in light of the previous knowledge concerning gender socialization, gender stereotypes, and authoritarian personality.

“…Gender bias was not present for predicting who would be rehospitalized within 2 years (Stack et al, 1983) and for predicting suicide or compliance with treatment (Lewis et al, 1990). Also, in many studies, prognoses for male and female clients were not significantly different (Adams & Betz, 1993; Bernstein & Lecomte, 1982; Billingsley, 1977; Dailey, 1980; Fischer et al, 1976; Foon, 1989; Lewis et al, 1990; Lopez et al, 1993; Rabinowitz & Lukoff, 1995; Schwartz & Abra‐mowitz, 1975; Settin, 1982; Stearns et al, 1980; Wrobel, 1993; Zygmond & Denton, 1988). When the effect of gender was significant, prognostic ratings were more favorable for female clients than male clients, even though clients were described by the same case histories except for the designation of gender (Agell & Rothblum, 1991; Fernbach et al, 1989; Hansen & Reekie, 1990; Teri, 1982).…”

Studies on race bias, social class bias, and gender bias are reviewed. Topics include psychodiagnosis and rating level of adjustment, the description of personality traits and psychiatric symptoms, the prediction of behavior, and treatment planning. Replicated findings indude race bias in the dffarential diagnosis of schizophrenia and psychotic afkctive disorders, gender bias in the dfhrential diagnosis of histrionic and antisocial personality disorders, race bias and gender bias in the prediction of violence, and social class bias in the referral of dients to psychotherapy. Recommendations for decreasing bias include (a) being aware of when biases are likely to occur, (b) adhering to diagnostic criteria, and (c) using statistical prediction rules to predict behavior. Key wods: cognitive biases, judgment, personality assessment, prediction, psychodiagnosis. f a i n Psycho1 Sci Prac 4:99-120, 19971Misconceptions exist about research on race bias, social class bias, and gender bias. For example, according to a recent article in The A P A Monitor (Sleek, 1996), Practitioners tend to judge lower-class patients as more seriously disturbed than higher-class patients. They detect schizophrenia in black people more than in whites. And they offen judge women patients as more disturbed than male patients presenting identical problems. @. 30)

“…Various research methodologies have illustrated male versus female differences in reacting to patients of both male and female genders even in different clinical contexts (e.g., clinical social workers' judgments of patient functioning, Hansen & Reekie, 1990; gender differences in interpretive activity in psychoanalysis, Berti et al, 1998; greater reflective activity on the Countertransference Rating Scale by female Vol. 82 25 psychotherapists, Lecours et al, 1995; holding patients responsible for problems, Fisher, 1989; countertransferential reactions of candidate psychoanalysts, Mann, 1988; characteristics used to formulate prognostic judgments, Zygmond & Denton, 1988; therapist gender as an organizer of patient responses, Kulish & Mayman, 1993). Thus, we hypothesize therapist gender differences in countertransference ratings of a recording of a dramatized patient.…”

Carefully listening to the patient is of paramount importance for psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The present study explored whether patient vocalization as well as the gender of the analyst play significant roles in clinical listening. Fifty-one psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic therapists were randomly assigned to listen to one of two dramatized psychoanalytic sessions. The content of the sessions was the same for both versions, but the sessions were dramatized differently. Some differences emerged between the versions, especially on ratings of reality testing, impulse control, pressured speech, patient was confusing, and awareness of imagery. Furthermore, differences emerged between male and female analysts in terms of ratings of intervention strategies and countertransference reactions to the patient material. Session version and gender affect different ratings. Implications of the findings are discussed as is the utility of using more ecologically valid material in conducting empirical research into clinical judgment.
