| Abstract: | Two structure conditions (behavioral and cognitive-behavioral), alone and in combination with a structured discussion of anticipated undesired outcomes of communicating corrective feedback, were compared in terms of their effects on high- and low-risk takers' corrective feedback production and attitudes toward 4-session counseling groups. Low- and high-risk takers who received cognitive and behavioral structure and participated in the discussion activity during Session 1 communicated the higher proportions of corrective feedback during Session 4. The cognitive-behavioral structure and discussion activity treatments enhanced low-risk takers' ratings of attraction to their groups and attraction to feedback after the conclusion of Session 4. The discussion activity was associated with higher group cohesion ratings among low-risk takers. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
