Changes in Self-Regard, Creativity and Interpersonal Behavior as a Function of Audio-Tape Encounter-Group Experiences

This research examined the effects of self-directed audio-tape encounter-group experiences on dimensions of self/ideal-self-congruence, creativity and interpersonal need fulfillment. The Semantic Differential, Barron-Welsh Art Scale and the FIRO-B were administered to groups of college students. The audio-tape procedure was effective and results supported the hypotheses which predicted that encounter relative to control Ss would achieve a higher congruence between their self- and ideal-self-concepts, seek more complex and imaginative solutions to problems, and become more self-directing in a prototypical interpersonal situation.
