Abstract

There is limited research on group cohesion as a potential outcome facilitator in group-based cognitive-behavioral treatment (GCBT) for youth. We examined if group cohesion mediated the relation between the temperamental trait behavioral inhibition and posttreatment outcomes following GCBT for youth with anxiety disorders. The sample comprised 88 youth (M age = 11.2 years) from a randomized controlled effectiveness trial. The outcomes were posttreatment clinical severity and treatment satisfaction. Group cohesion fully mediated the relation between behavioral inhibition and posttreatment severity. Higher group cohesion was associated with lower posttreatment clinical severity. There was no significant association between behavioral inhibition and treatment satisfaction, hence no mediation. We conclude that group cohesion is a factor that can be targeted by clinicians to potentially enhance GCBT outcomes.

团体凝聚力在以团体为基础的认知行为疗法治疗青少年焦虑症中的中介效应。
在针对青少年的基于小组的认知行为治疗(GCBT)中,关于小组凝聚力作为潜在结果促进因素的研究十分有限。我们研究了在对焦虑症青少年进行基于认知行为治疗(GCBT)后,团体凝聚力是否能调节行为抑制这一气质特征与治疗后结果之间的关系。样本包括来自随机对照有效性试验的 88 名青少年(平均年龄 = 11.2 岁)。研究结果为治疗后的临床严重程度和治疗满意度。团体凝聚力完全调节了行为抑制与治疗后严重程度之间的关系。小组凝聚力越高,治疗后的临床严重程度越低。行为抑制与治疗满意度之间没有明显关联,因此不存在中介作用。我们的结论是,团体凝聚力是临床医生可以有针对性地提高 GCBT 治疗效果的一个因素。
