Group Experience

Twenty-five Ss participated in 5-day training programs emphasizing self-awareness, sensitivity to others, and development of basic interviewing skills. Ss were administered the Bieri Cognitive Complexity-Simplicity Scale early on the first day (pretest) and late on the last day (posttest) of training. Results showed significant changes from pre- to posttest on total cognitive complexity scores, as well as on subtotals associated with positive role titles. Changes were in the direction of greater cognitive simplicity. Previous counseling experience was also related to pretest total and positive subtotal cognitive complexity scores but was not related to pre- to posttest change scores. Pretest complexity scores and changes in interpersonal cognitive complexity were discussed as a function of defensive vigilance related to the potential threat of persons associated with positive and negative affect.

Abstract. This study investigated the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Mroczek and Kolarz’s scales of positive and negative affect in Iran (N = 2,391) and the USA (N = 2,154), and across gender groups. The two-factor model of affect was supported across the groups. The results of measurement invariance testing confirmed full metric and partial scalar invariance of the scales across cultural groups, and full metric and full scalar invariance across gender groups. The results of latent mean analysis revealed that Iranians scored lower on positive affect and higher on negative affect than Americans. The analyses also showed that American men scored significantly lower than American women on negative affect. The significance and implications of the results are discussed.
