Abstract

The aim of this analogue study was to experimentally manipulate the match between psychotherapist presentation of change mechanisms when presenting a treatment rationale with participant mechanism expectations to examine the impact of matching on therapy perceptions. Participants viewed a video of a therapist presenting a treatment rationale and were randomized to hear a change rationale that either matched, did not match, or remained neutral relative to their expectations. Participants then completed measures of therapy perceptions. A series of one-way ANOVA tests were conducted to compare differences across process measures between groups. Results suggested that presentation of a change mechanism may improve some perceptions of the therapy, regardless of whether it matched expectations, but only when there is accurate recall of the change mechanism.
