Abstract

On the basis of previous research it was hypothesized that Ss undergoing an encounter group experience would show a decrease in covert expression of hostility and a corresponding increase in overt expression of hostility as measured by Bendig's scales of hostility. An experimental group ( N = 24) participated in 10 encounter group exercises while a control group ( N = 24) similar in terms of age, sex, and educational background, did not undergo the exercises. No significant difference was found between experimental and control groups' scores on the Bendig scales prior to, or upon completion of the series of encounter exercises for personal growth.
