Leader Style, Leader Consistency, and Participant Personality Effects on Learning in Small Groups
Twelve small experiential learning groups were conducted in which leader style and leader consistency were experimentally manipulated. The leaders were predominantly meaning attributive or predominantly caring in style, and either consistent or inconsistent in their behavior from session to session. Each group was composed of two high, two medium, and two low scorers on the change subscale of the PRF-E. Seventy-one participants provided self-repo…
Relationships between the object focus of therapist interpretations and outcome in short‐term individual psychotherapy
The relationships between the object (person) focus of therapist interpretations and outcome were examined for 21 patients who received short‐term individual psychotherapy. Percentages of single objects and linked objects, e.g. therapist‐parent link, were derived from an analysis of the therapy sessions. Patients, therapists and an independent assessor provided pre‐therapy, post‐therapy and six‐month follow‐up outcome scores. Contrary to other re…

Cohesion as a Basic Bond in Groups
Cohesion continues to remain a popular concept among group therapists and leaders of experientially based learning groups despite persistent confusion about its meaning. The present study provided an empirical basis for clarification of the concept of cohesion. Forty-five participants from nine experientially based learning groups provided self-report and behavioral data concerning a number of aspects of cohesion. Factor analyses of the self-repo…
