“…Self-disclosure, a necessary behavior in group counseling, may conflict with the restrictions imposed by tradition and values of collectivist societies, particularly in such sensitive areas as family , friends, and expression of feelings. In the United States as well as in other Western countries, many ethnic groups still hold the values of collectivist cultures (e.g., Asians; Conyne, Wilson, & Tang, 2000). But this study has shown that they are clearly not the same.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare behavior in group counseling of Moslem, Druze, and Jewish adolescents in Israel. On the basis of the literature, differences were expected between the three groups on all dimensions under investigation: self-disclosure, affiliation (response to self-disclosure), and gains. The Jewish adolescents were expected to show the highest rates of selfdisclosure, affiliation, and gains; Moslems were expected to be next; and the Druze were expected to have the lowest rates. Contrary to expectations, the highest rates of self-disclosure were found for the Moslem adolescents; the lowest rates were indeed for Druze. In affiliation and gains, differences were minimal.

“…For one thing, in groups that express reservations regarding self-disclosure, it is necessary to adjust leadership style , methods of intervention, and techniques (Conyne et al, 2000;Sue et al, 1992). In the more authoritarian ethnic groups, the leader is perceived as the authority figure and responsible for all group processes.…”

It is well known that intra-personal attributes and leadership styles are crucial elements of nursing education and practice. However, little has been done in these aspects, particularly in terms of students' perspectives regarding various cultural influences on intrapersonal development and nursing leadership. Six focus group interviews were conducted in Hong Kong to explore the meanings of intra-personal development and nursing leadership in nursing education and the clinical setting, and to analyze Chinese culture relevant to intra-personal and leadership development. The results revealed three themes (intra-personal development, nursing leadership, and cultural influence) extracted from the focus group interviews. Regarding intra-personal development, the findings from participants' experiences suggested that they agreed with the importance of self-awareness, selfreflection, emotional competence, resilience, morality, and self-identity in nursing students. In addition, social competence, communication, team building and selfleadership, as well as crisis, conflict, and stress management, are crucial to nursing leadership. Some participants were also concerned with the cultural influence on gender barriers and hierarchism in the clinical setting. As intrapersonal characteristics, leadership competence, and cultural values are crucial and fundamental in education, nursing programs should enhance these aspects for the holistic development of nursing students. Further studies across regions and time, interviews with nursing educators, and cross-cultural collaboration for nursing leadership and intra-personal development in nursing programs are recommended.

“…Considering the advantages of structured and unstructured groups recommended for Chinese populations (Chiu, 1979;Coyne, Wilson, & Tang, 2000), the researcher adopted a semi-structured approach. Instead of structuring clients' thoughts, activities were chosen to match the level of group development and facilitate clients' thoughts relating to developmental concerns.…”
