True

In the context of analogue research, which of the following is true of client variables being generalizable to real-life counseling?
A) When a client expects course credit by participating in a study, the client variable-expectation of change has relatively high resemblance to real-life counseling.
B) When a client chooses therapists or type of treatment, the client variable-selection of treatment has relatively high resemblance to real-life counseling.
C) When a client is distressed enough to seek relevant academic experiences and psychological experiments, the client variable-motivation and distress level has relatively high resemblance to real-life counseling.
D) When a client has a new issue, and low level of knowledge about the issue, the client variable-knowledge of problem has relatively high resemblance to real-life counseling.
