Info

Participants were asked to complete a survey at the beginning and the end of the groups. The survey’s were comprised of several statements to which students indicated their agreement using a Likert-type scale (1 = “not at all true” to 5 = “very true”). In addition, students were able to write any additional comments. Eleven of the statements were asked on both the pre- and post- group survey to examine change over the course of the group. Some questions were unique to either the pre-group or post-group survey. For example, on the pre-group survey, participants were asked about their feelings about the upcoming group. Responses can be seen in the two charts below. I feel that being in a group will give me a place to talk about my thoughts and feelings. 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Not at all true A little bit true Somewhat true Quite true Very true I am looking forward to being in a group. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Not at all true A little bit true Somewhat true Quite true Very true 26 | F a l l 2 0 0 8 V I P E v a l u a t i o n
