Help-Giving in Behavioral Control and Stress Coping Self-Help Groups.

Wollert, Richard W.; And Others

Small Group Behavior, v13 n2 p204-18 May 1982

Members of two types of self-help groups assessed the occurence of various helping processes in their groups. Found self-help groups emphasized supportive and expressive processes while avoiding confrontive processes; and behavioral techniques were used more frequently by behavioral control groups than by stress coping groups.
