Abstract

This article introduces semantic cohesion-a nonreactive, atheoretical indicator of conversational involvement-to the study of group process. Conversational involvement is assumed to be necessary and common to all types of groups, but groups achieving more cohesive involvement are expected to be relatively more effective. Cohesive talk was observed over time and across four psychotherapy groups led by self-disclosing or nondisclosing therapists; clients'perceptions of the process and outcome were assessed on multiple indicators. Despite individual therapist differences, the nondisclosing groups showed significantly more cohesive interactions throughout (and especially in the early phase) therapy. No differences were observed in clients'perceptions of therapists or their attraction to the group. On all indicators clients showed appreciable gains, but the nondisclosinggroups were relatively more successful. Differences in how self-disclosing and nondisclosing leaders elicit group involvement are discussed and the utility of semantic cohesion analysis in future work on group process is considered.
语义衔接分析
本文将语义衔接——会话参与的一个非反应性的理论指标——引入到群体过程的研究中。会话参与被认为对所有类型的群体都是必要的和共同的,但是实现更有凝聚力参与的群体被期望相对更有效。随着时间的推移,在四个心理治疗小组中观察到凝聚力谈话,这些小组由自我披露或不披露的治疗师领导;客户对过程和结果的感知通过多个指标进行评估。尽管个体治疗师存在差异,但在整个治疗过程中(尤其是在早期阶段),未披露的组表现出明显更有凝聚力的互动。在来访者对治疗师的看法或他们对小组的吸引力方面没有观察到差异。在所有指标上,客户都获得了可观的收益,但未披露信息的群体相对更成功。本文讨论了自我披露和非披露领导诱导群体参与的差异,并考虑了语义衔接分析在未来群体过程研究中的应用。
