\description. It is also referred to as sensitivity training, group dynamics, and group relations training. T-group has three aims: 1. To increase sensitivity-the ability to perceive accurately
how others are reacting to one's behavior.
2. To increase diagnostic ability-the ability to perceive
accurately the state of relationships between others.
3. To increase action skill-the ability to carry out the skillful
behavior required by the situation.
In a T-group, the trainer will explain the aims of the program and may encourage discussion and contribute his or her own reactions. But he or she does not take a strong lead and the group is largely left
8
to its own devices to develop a structure that takes account of the goals of both the members of the group and the trainer provides a climate where the group members are sufficiently trusting of one another to discuss their own behavior. They do this by giving “feedback” or expressing their reaction to one another. Member may not always accept comments about themselves, but as the T-group develops they will increasingly understand how some aspects of their behavior are hidden to them and will, therefore, be well on the way to an increase in sensitivity, diagnostic ability, and action skill. Follow-up studies have noted three principle areas of change following the attendance of trainees at an external T-group laboratory:
1. Increased openness, receptivity, and tolerance of differences. 2. Increased operational skill in interpersonal relations, with overtones of increased capacity for collaboration.
3. Improved understanding and diagnostic awareness of self, others, and interactive processes in groups. T-groups have been attacked because of the possibility of negative or detrimental effects. But none of the follow-up studies has detected any significant problems. A more valid basis for doubt is that it has been difficult to prove that they have been cost effective for organizations who have used them on

company or have strongly supported external programs. This criticism could be leveled at any other form of group training or, indeed, most off-the-job training. The degree to which it can be invalidated will depend on the effectiveness of the training design and of the trainer.
T-group laboratories in their purest form are unlikely ever to become a major part of company training programs, but the group dynamics approach has valid uses in the modified forms.
