Kan relationer fördjupas genom bemötandeträning? En utvärdering av en helgkurs i autentiskt relaterande
Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact a weekend course in authentic relating had on different aspects of the quality of the participants' relationships. The relationship quality was measured in two contexts: Between the course participants and in their existing relationships outside the course context. The aim was to investigate whether the course affected the quality of relationships between the participants and whether the participants could benefit from new skills to improve relationships in a different context. A convenience sample of 33 people was recruited among participants at four weekend courses in authentic relating given between March and October 2022. Five self-rating scales were used to measure different aspects of relationship quality including perceived partner responsiveness, fear of intimacy, strength of the relational bond, closeness and positive and negative feelings towards the relationship. The results showed that the relationship quality between the participants increased after the course. Participants reported a significant increase in experienced closeness, relational bond and more positive feelings towards another course participant, who they also experienced as more responsive. With regards to the quality of relationships outside the course context, no significant pre-post differences were found for any of study outcomes. Participants did not report any significant difference in closeness, bond, responsiveness or fear of intimacy in these relationships. Due to the methodological limitations of the study the results must be interpreted with great caution.
