NOTE ON A PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUE FOR STUDYING GROUP DYNAMICS

Abstract

The technique to be described is a modified sentence completion method which yields material for the diagnostic study of groups rather than of individuals. In effect, the group both composes and takes its own chain sentence completion test; each member contributes one completion and then composes a stem to be completed by another member. Although validation studies are yet to be done, the technique in its present state appears promising as a tool for research in group dynamics.
