Developmental Patterns in Self-Analytic Groups
研究提出并检验了自我分析训练小组发展的辩证模型，通过因子分析和方差分析区分发展阶段，发现18个小组中有5个完全发展，其余在权威或亲密困境中停滞。
This study outlines and tests a dialectical model of group development in self-analytic training groups. Part 1 establishes dimensions that differentiate between developmental phases using factor analysis and analysis of variance. In 18 observed groups, a factor named "group cohesion" differentiated most adequately. Part 2 defines the different developmental patterns. Trend analysis showed that, of the 18 groups five developed fully, two arrested in the authority dilemma, and six arrested in the intimacy dilemma. Expectations about the content of group communications for these different development patterns were tested, also through trend analysis, and results supported the theoretical model.
