Feedback Exchange in Personal Growth Groups: Receiver Acceptance as a Function of Valence, Session, and Order of Delivery.

Stockton, Rex; Morran, D. Keith

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v28 n6 p490-97 Nov 1981

Investigated the effects of valence, session of delivery, and order of delivery on receiver ratings of feedback credibility. Collected data from personal growth groups. Positive feedback was readily accepted. Negative feedback was significantly more accepted when received in later sessions, and when preceded by positive feedback. (Author)
