The Effect of Two Different Debriefing Approaches on Developing Self-Confidence. Research Update.

Priest, Simon

Journal of Experiential Education, v19 n1 p40-42 May-Jun 1996

For 72 new workers in a British automotive corporation, self-confidence was enhanced by participation in a ropes course. While general debriefing (addressing a wide variety of human behaviors) and specific debriefing (centered solely on self-confidence) contributed to these improvements, the benefits that accrued from specific debriefing were greater than those from general debriefing.
