The purpose of this study is to examine the rank order of therapeutic factors, the relationships between leader behaviors, group experiences, and therapeutic factors, respectively, and the regression model between the predictor variables (group experiences and leader behaviors) and criterion variables (therapeutic factors). In this study, 32 college students participated and completed a group counseling program in Taiwan. Results concerning the descriptive statistics and rank orders of the therapeutic factors were examined. Analyses revealed significant positive relationships between leader behaviors and group experiences. In contrast, the relationships between leader behaviors and therapeutic factors varied wildly. Finally, the linear combination of leader behaviors and a group experiences subscale (feeling toward activity) was able to predict therapeutic factors. Based on the findings, suggestions and implications were made for group counseling and future studies.

Key Words: members’perceptions • leader behaviors • therapeutic factors
