Popis: This pilot study compared the effect of two writing techniques, Agenda Setting and Group Focus, to a cognitive technique, reading process notes at the start of a group session, to examine their impact on social climate, member involvement, and behavior. Theoretically an intervention that helps members to focus directly on their goals and potential interventions would be beneficial; the results did not lend support to this premise. The discussion includes suggestions related to the importance of substantial interventions to influence group process as well as suggestions for future research.
