Feedback II - The "Credibility Gap": Delivery of Positive and Negative Emotional and Behavioral Feedback in Groups
Jacobs, Marion; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 41, 2, 215-222, Oct 73
Undergraduates in six programmed T-groups received feedback that was either behavioral, emotional, or combined behavioral-emotional. Negative behavioral feedback was more credible than negative emotional feedback. Participants in group psychotherapy and encounter groups who give each other behavioral feedback can enhance the credibility of the feedback by adding their emotional reaction only if the feedback is positive. Greater cohesion is reported among positive feedback groups. (Author)
