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.
