In order to measure the effect of a human relations, sensitivity training, T-group course offering in the sociology curriculum at the College of DuPage, the Personal Orientation Inventory, an instrument designed to measure self-actualization, was administered to 13 students before and after their participation in a semi-intensive, nonresidential, T-group experience over two consecutive weekends. A comparison of the group's performance before and after the T-group experience revealed significant changes over the two scales measuring: (1) an individual's ability to utilize time in the Present; (2) an individual's ability not to be overly directed by others. Besides measuring the affective change for students in the T-group, this study explores the union among traditional learning theories, gestaltists, field theorists, third-force, and humanistic theorists by means of a comprehensive literature review.
