Abstract

This research is an evaluation of training in active listening skills as one part of a comprehensive marriage enrichment program. Nineteen couples were randomly assigned to three groups. Two groups used an identical program except that in one session the experimental group was taught active listening skills. The third group was assigned to a waiting list. Those trained in the skills became significantly more accurate in their perceptions of spouses' attitudes and feelings than those in the waiting list or the other treatment group. However, this greater accuracy was not found to have any significant effect on marital adjustment.
