Group Skills

<p><i>Numerous concerns exist in the groupwork and counseling literatures regarding the requirement that students participate in experiential counseling groups as part of their academic coursework. This research examined the use of service learning task groups as an alternate way to address this required component of group counseling coursework to address multiple relationship concerns between faculty and students. Results indicated that while many group counseling skills were demonstrated in the task group, not all skills manifested. Group skills that were more ‘safe’ in terms of counselor risk were demonstrated more often. Less ‘safe’ or risky group skills for the counselor, such as providing feedback to a group member, were demonstrated less frequently. The authors offer implications for research and practice</i>.</p>

Petrochemical Industries

Pressure equipment in refinery and petrochemical industries in Japan has been getting old, mostly more than 30 years in operation. Currently, the Japanese regulations for pressure equipment in service are the same as those in existence during the fabrication of the pressure equipment. Accordingly, there is an immediate need for an up to date more advanced “Fitness For Service” (FFS) evaluation requirements for pressure equipment. In order to introduce the latest FFS methodologies to Japanese industries, the High Pressure Institute of Japan (HPI) has organized two task groups. One is a working group for development of a maintenance standard for non-nuclear industries. Its prescribed code “Assessment procedure for crack-like flaws in pressure equipment” is for conducting quantitative safety evaluations of flaws detected in common pressure equipment such as pressure vessels, piping, storage tanks. The other is a special task group to study of API RP579 from its drafting stage as a member of TG579. The FFS Handbook, especially for refinery and petrochemical industries, has been developed based on API RP579 with several modifications to meet Japanese pressure vessel regulations on April 2001. [1] It is expected that both the Standard and FFS handbook will be used as an exemplified standard with Japanese regulations for practical maintenance. This paper presents concepts of “Assessment procedure for crack-like flaws in pressure equipment” HPIS Z101, 2001 [2].

And Behavior

Do the ties that bind also create social inequality? Using an expectation states theoretical framework, we elaborate status characteristics and behavior-status theories to explore how sentiments, network connections based on liking and disliking, may affect processes entailing status, the prestige based on one’s differentially valued social distinctions. Within task groups, we theorize that positive and negative sentiments may themselves be status elements capable of evoking performance expectations within dyadic configurations typically modeled by expectation states theorists. Having a reputation for being liked or disliked “imported” into the group may enact status generalization. Alternatively, a status element based on sentiments may emerge during task group interaction as group members ascertain if alters are liked or disliked. Finally, we conclude by discussing how our theorizing motivates future theories and empirical studies.

Comparison Of Effectiveness

The present study compared, using delayed multiple-criteria measures, the effectiveness of two different group-counseling techniques with college Ss who expressed a desire to improve their academic performance. The procedures were a more traditional approach focusing on personal-emotional problems and one on development of behaviors appropriate for college achievement. Groups were compared with two control groups on three criteria, pre-post change scores in grade point average, adjustment scores, and study habits and attitudes scores. The 5 hypotheses were not supported. Implications for research and practice in group counseling were discussed.
