Abstract

Group psychotherapy is an effective therapeutic modality for the treatment of many mental health and related issues. Group therapy is cost-effective and could decrease barriers to mental health services for ethnic minority populations, including Latinx people. Group cohesion is a therapeutic factor associated with positive outcomes in group psychotherapy according to meta-analyses. While information exists regarding the associations of group cohesion to other variables that may affect the effectiveness of group psychotherapy, there is no published research exploring the relationships between group cohesion and the Latinx cultural correlates of acculturation, machismo, caballerismo, marianismo, personalismo, individualism, and collectivism. We analyzed pre- and post-data from 235 Latinx college students who participated in eight sessions of one of two types of psychoeducational groups (one for dating violence prevention and one for stress management), using a multivariate general linear model (GLM) examining the relationships between our gender and cultural variables on two total group cohesion measures (GCS and GSRS). This finding partially supports our hypotheses regarding the association between cultural correlates and group cohesion: collectivistic attitudes among Latinx group members were associated with improved group cohesion. These findings have relevance for the implementation of group psychotherapy with Latinx people.

拉丁裔心理教育群体的群体凝聚力：文化相关性研究

团体心理治疗是治疗许多心理健康及相关问题的有效治疗方式。团体治疗具有成本效益，可以减少包括拉丁裔在内的少数族裔人群获得心理健康服务的障碍。根据荟萃分析，群体凝聚力是与群体心理治疗的积极结果相关的治疗因素。虽然存在关于群体凝聚力与其他可能影响群体心理治疗有效性的变量之间的联系的信息，但没有发表研究探讨群体凝聚力与拉丁裔文化适应、男子气概、卡巴莱主义、马里阿尼斯主义、个性、个人主义和集体主义之间的关系。我们分析了235名拉丁裔大学生的前后数据，他们参加了两种类型的心理教育小组之一（一种用于约会暴力预防，一种用于压力管理）的八次会议，使用多变量一般线性模型（GLM）检查了我们的性别和文化变量之间的关系，采用了两种总体群体凝聚力测量（GCS和GSRS）。这一发现部分支持了我们关于文化相关性和群体凝聚力之间关系的假设：拉丁裔群体成员的集体主义态度与群体凝聚力的提高有关。这些发现与拉丁裔群体心理治疗的实施有关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
