Group Skills

<p><i>Numerous concerns exist in the groupwork and counseling literatures regarding the requirement that students participate in experiential counseling groups as part of their academic coursework. This research examined the use of service learning task groups as an alternate way to address this required component of group counseling coursework to address multiple relationship concerns between faculty and students. Results indicated that while many group counseling skills were demonstrated in the task group, not all skills manifested. Group skills that were more ‘safe’ in terms of counselor risk were demonstrated more often. Less ‘safe’ or risky group skills for the counselor, such as providing feedback to a group member, were demonstrated less frequently. The authors offer implications for research and practice</i>.</p>

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of group counseling on the self-esteem, athletic attitude, and reading skills of freshman, sophomore, and junior male athletes at the University of Mississippi. The study focused on the personal growth of athletes through the affective domain as well as the cognitive domain; it particularly examined group counseling in relation to the self-esteem of athletes and their attitude on the playing field as perceived by the coaches. The secondary focus of the study was to determine the effects of group counseling on reading rate, reading comprehension, and reading efficiency of athletes. The rationale for the study was based on the recent emphasis in sport psychology of treating athletes from a developmental and humanistic base. Group counseling was chosen as the mode of treatment, based on potential interactive effects of peer perception with facilitation by trained leaders.

Results are summarized of an empirical study testing the associations among various academic, demographic, and personal characteristics and rated empathic understanding among 93 neophyte psychotherapy trainees from six universities. Multiple regression analyses suggested that completion of a graduate group counseling course with a specific personal growth component was the only characteristic significantly correlated with ratings of empathic understanding.

Innovative Moments

The aim of this case study is to demonstrate how an innovative group counseling method, the narrative mediation path, promotes reflective mirroring in a group of underachieving university students. We used an adaptation of the innovative moments coding system, a reliable method for studying change by tracking narrative innovations throughout the intervention. The transcripts of the seven sessions of a single narrative mediation path counseling group were analyzed, and three types of innovative moments were identified: self-directed innovative moments (those directed at the participants themselves), other-directed innovative moments (those directed at another group member), and group-directed innovative moments (those directed at the group as a whole). To study the narrative sequences containing both other-directed or group-directed innovative moments and self-directed innovative moments, a microgenetic approach was adopted. Results suggested that across the narrative mediation path counseling sessions, different types of reflecting mirroring emerged, based on supporting, interpreting, and connecting members’ experiences.

Abstract. Background: Previous studies point to a potential relationship between self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and cognitive performance. However, most of these studies are limited by their experimental design. Previous longitudinal studies looked solely at memory as an outcome variable without examining the directionality of effects. The present study examines the direction of effects between two domains of SPA (personal growth and physical losses) and processing speed (PS). Methods: The sample consists of 8,198 participants of the German Ageing Survey (DEAS), aged between 40 and 93 years. A cross-lagged path model was estimated to examine directions of relationships across 3 years via chi-squared difference tests for each domain of SPA. Results: In the unconstrained models, the effect of SPA domain personal growth in 2008 on PS in 2011 and vice versa were marginally significant. For SPA domain physical losses, the effect of SPA on PS was significant, whereas the other direction of the effect did not reach significance. However, the cross-lagged paths of both domains of SPA on PS and vice versa could be set equal without a significant loss of model fit. The resulting associations indicate a significant bidirectional relationship between both domains of SPA and PS. Discussion and conclusion: This study provides initial evidence that SPA can influence trajectories of cognitive decline and vice versa. The results emphasize the detrimental and beneficial effects that stereotypes can have on individuals and add further evidence to the theory of stereotype embodiment.

Zusammenfassung. Die deutschsprachigen Versionen der Selbstbeurteilungsfragebögen “Persönliche Reifung nach Belastungen“ (PRB) und “Posttraumatische Persönliche Reifung“ (PPR) werden vorgestellt und teststatistisch überprüft. Der PRB-Fragebogen ist eindimensional, während der PPR-Fragebogen fünf Subskalen umfaßt: Neue Möglichkeiten, Beziehungen zu Anderen, Persönliche Stärken, Wertschätzung des Lebens und Religiöse Veränderungen. Die untersuchte Stichprobe (N = 141; MAlter = 37.5 Jahre, SD = 17.8, Altersbereich 19-78 Jahre; 63.8% weiblich) setzt sich aus Teilstichproben älterer Studenten mit schweren Lebensereignissen sowie Patienten aus internistischen Kliniken zusammen. Es werden Angaben zur Reliabilität, faktoriellen und diskriminanten Validität der beiden Fragebögenversionen gemacht, die die Faktorenstruktur der englischsprachigen Originalversionen weitgehend bestätigen. Beide Fragebögen korrelieren sehr hoch miteinander. Zur externen Validierung der Fragebögen wurden Bewältigungsstrategien, wahrgenommene soziale Unterstützung, Symptome der Posttraumatischen Belastungsreaktion sowie die soziale Erwünschtheit untersucht. Aufgrund von theoretischen und faktorstrukturellen Gesichtspunkten wird die Verwendung des fünf Dimensionen erfassenden PPR-Fragebogens empfohlen. Offene Probleme der Validierung werden abschließend diskutiert.
