The Hill Interaction Matrix was used to measure the content and quality of interactions in a 12-hour therapy group of drug addicts. The group included six black and six white male clients and three therapists. The level of therapeutic work was measured by using four categories: conventional, assertive, speculative, and confrontive. The content of interactions was also measured by using four categories: topic, group, personal, and relationship. The group was characterized as highly confrontive, and the most therapeutic interactions occurred during the middle six hours of group time.
The Scale to Assess World Views was administered to 104 Fijians and to 109 Americans who were all enrolled in counseling programs in their respective countries. Fijians and Americans were compared in order to determine whether the worldviews of counseling students in these two countries were different.

The Fijian Counseling students scored higher than the Americans on the Lineal‐Hierarchical and Collateral‐Mutual subscales of the Human Relationships Category and higher than the Americans on the Past and Future subscales of the Time Orientation Category.
