Abstract

Abstract The Standards of Care for Research in Group Work were developed in partnership between the Association for Assessment in Research in Counseling (AARC) and the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW). The purpose of these standards is to highlight empirically validated and literature-supported practices for conducting research in group work, as there are methodological and design considerations that are unique to group work research. These include, but are not limited to, small sample sizes that are often inherent in group work, the dependence of variables when measured in a group setting, historical lack of empirical rigor in group work research, and the need for theoretical and methodological congruence in qualitative research. During the development of this document, the committee used extant research standards to guide and center our efforts, and it was our intent for these standards to be used in conjunction with other established research standards. We also recognized the need to emphasize quantitative and qualitative research guidelines to encompass the importance of both types of research in the counseling field; and to highlight the importance of recognition and attention to concerns related to conducting group work research with participants from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.

小组研究的关怀标准

小组工作研究护理标准是由咨询研究评估协会(AARC)和小组工作专家协会(ASGW)合作制定的。这些标准的目的是强调在小组工作中进行研究的经验验证和文献支持的实践，因为小组工作研究有独特的方法和设计考虑。这些问题包括，但不限于，小组工作中通常固有的小样本量，在小组环境中测量变量的依赖性，小组工作研究中历史上缺乏经验严谨性，以及定性研究中理论和方法一致性的需要。在本文件的开发过程中，委员会使用现有的研究标准来指导和集中我们的工作，我们的意图是将这些标准与其他已建立的研究标准结合起来使用。我们还认识到有必要强调定量和定性研究准则，以包括这两种研究在咨询领域的重要性;并强调承认和关注与来自不同和代表性不足背景的参与者进行小组工作研究有关的问题的重要性。

期刊介绍： Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation (CORE) provides counselor educators, researchers, educators, and other mental health practitioners with outcome research and program evaluation practices for work with individuals across the lifespan. It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews. This journal also serves to address ethical, legal, and cultural concerns in the assessment of dependent variables, implementation of clinical interventions, and outcome research. Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
