Expectancy and Risk Taking Propensity

The ability to quickly and efficiently identify the type of client who will benefit from, as well as contribute to, a group experience is of prime importance to group leaders (Melnick and Woods, 1976). Yet despite the obvious value inherent in being able to predict client behavior before the start of a group, little attention has been directed, until recently, toward establishing a set of interpersonal attitudes and characteristics which might prove helpful in making important inclusion-exclusion decisions (Woods and Melnick, 1979). Two variables which have proved useful in understanding therapeutic performance are social risk taking propensity and client expectancy. The present study was concerned with the prediction of group member performance following pretreatment assessment of these two variables. Social risk taking propensity (Jackson, Hourany, and Vidmar, 1971) involves the willingness to take interpersonal risks in situations in which appropriate behaviors and responses are ambiguous or not consensually agreed upon.
