Peer reviewedHarrison, Roger – Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, 1971
The measurement of processes of learning and the evaluation of the outcomes of the teaching-learning process have always posed major problems in research design. One purpose of this paper is to provide investigators with a review of the methodological problems involved in planning and conducting such studies. (Author)

Heck, Edward John – 1968
This study investigated and compared the effectiveness of T groups and the Human Development Institute (HDI) in changing interpersonal perception styles and communication skills. In 20 hours of instruction over a ten week period, the two training conditions were systematically varied with groups of elementary school teachers differing on the…

Tolela, Michele – 1968
A study was made to determine whether learning achieved in a T-group experience is transferred to a problem-solving situation, and to identify possible factors in the training process that enhance transfer of training. Problem-solving was measured along several dimensions, including quality of solution offered, degree of acceptance each member…

Mitchell, Rie Rogers – 1969
A study was made to compare the effectiveness (determined by individual behavior change) of three sensitivity training conditions--spaced, massed, and combined--compared with each other and with a control group (no training); and to determine the relationship between 25 personal characteristics and the behavior change under the various conditions…

Maxey, James H.
A two group-two treatment research design is presented; it allows for the assessment of the individual and the combined effects of the two treatments. Advantages include: (1) Initial evaluation represents an estimate of the stabilities of the measurements; and (2) Observation 4 compared with the average of Observation 1 and Observation 2 tests the…
