Group Cohesion in Experiential Growth Groups
Steen, Sam; Vasserman-Stokes, Elaina; Vannatta, Rachel
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v39 n3 p236-256 2014
This article explores the effect of web-based journaling on changes in group cohesion within experiential growth groups. Master's students were divided into 2 groups. Both used a web-based platform to journal after each session; however, only 1 of the groups was able to read each other's journals. Quantitative data collected before and after the group experience revealed that group cohesion decreased from pre- to posttreatment for both groups. Qualitative data revealed that sharing individual web-based journals with other group members might intensify group dynamics in the early stages of group formation. Implications for the training of group counselors are discussed.
