| Abstract: | This study attempted to determine (a) if 103 male psychology interns would, in the context of supervision, deal with their socialized restricted emotionality (RE) by using either the turning‐against‐other or the turning‐against‐self defensive style and (b) assess the impact of the sex of the supervisor on this behavior. Results indicated that male supervisees with higher levels of RE evidenced a turning‐against‐self style. Male supervisees working with a male supervisor reported poorer perceptions of the supervisory working alliance. |
