Abstract

Investigated the role of a group structuring technique developed by G. Egan (1973, 1976) on the amount and depth of process involvement in 2 8-member counseling training groups consisting of graduate students (aged 21–56 yrs). The primary hypothesis was that the structured group would have a higher amount and depth of process involvement scores across time than the no-structure group. Results partly support the conclusion that early structure significantly affects process involvement among group members. Findings also indicate that both groups showed strong gains in depth of process involvement over time. Results are discussed in terms of previous research by R. L. Bednar et al (see record 1974-25973-001) and C. Y. Crews and J. Melnick (see record 1976-21029-001). It is suggested that future research should explore interactions between interpersonal style differences of individual members and various structuring techniques.
