Note. Values in parentheses are the percent of total variance due to each effect in the model. n = 417 patients; 10 counselors; 14 groups (with rolling membership); 387 specific group sessions (tapes); 3.86 sessions attended on average per patient; five raters (two per session) for alliance, feedback, and self-disclosure variables. For the participation data, n = 440 patients, 10 counselors, 14 groups (with rolling membership); 1030 specific group sessions (tapes), 27 raters, 5.90 sessions attended on average per patient. For the cohesion data, n = 10 counselors, 14 rolling groups, two raters, 76 specific group sessions (tapes). Variance components shown in bold are significantly different from zero at p < .05; those underlined are significant at p < .01.
