The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of induced affect as a pregroup training experience for coping with stress related to participation in an encounter group. Twenty-six subjects who volunteered to participate in an encounter group randomly were assigned to three treatment groups, induced-affect training plus the encounter group, induced-affect training only, and encounter group only. The following hypotheses were supported: (a) Group participants who did not receive the induced-affect pregroup training would demonstrate significant increases on the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, and (b) group members who did receive such training would not manifest such increases. The implications of using the technique of induced affect as a pretraining experience are discussed.

Surprisingly little work has systematically ex.plored whether samian was treated differently from other pottery types in Britain or how it may have been regarded by different cultural and status groups.
