Dimensions of Interpersonal Trust and Group Variables in Short-Term Counseling.

Walker, Betty A.; Robinson, Rick

Educational Research Quarterly, v4 n3 p58-68 Fall 1979

Two dimensions of the Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale (ITS) were used to investigate the relationship between interpersonal trust and three variables in short-term group therapy: group cohesiveness, group status, and immediate outcome. Groups of a heterogeneous mix--according to ITS scores--had significantly higher cohesiveness scores. (Author/GDC)
