Applications of Feedback

What’s Wrong With Our Groups?
  • Size of groups
    • individual change talk goes unnoticed
  • Deviant behavior
    • reinforced through laughter, inattention, etc.
  • Dishonest discussion of risks & benefits associated with drinking.
  • The “high-fivers” and the “one bad seed”
  • A “renorming” of
    • discrepant information
    • positive meaning attached to deviancy
12
Study 4. What This Study Adds
  • Avoid aggregating high-risk (or coerced) participants into groups
  • Keep groups small to minimize resistance
  • Keep feedback separate and private (maximizes discrepancy)
  • Screen for readiness stage match groups
  • Use two facilitators
    • while one is rolling with resistance
    • the other is affirming talk for change
