Training Group Development and OutcomesUniversity of Utrecht
University of Utrecht
University of Nijmegen This study develops and tests hypotheses relating individual development to group development. The general hypothesis holds that changes in social constructs used by participants after training to describe themselves and others, as measured by a version of Kelly's Repertory Grid test, are a function of the specific developmental pattern of the training group in which they participated. In all, 13 training groups, using a modified Tavistock approach, for which the developmental patterns were previously established are examined. The hypotheses are generally supported. Participant changes cannot be ascribed to individual characteristics before training, but are explained by the specific experienced group developmental patterns.
