“…This work, the latest in a series of studies on the subject (Fernandez-Rivas et al, 2020, 2021a, 2021bTrojaola-Zapirain et al, 2014, 2015, analyzes the evolution of the participants' absurd questionary responses by focusing on the entropy of the answers. As in our previous works, we make the hypothesis that the group setting "amplifies" the unconscious interaction making it "measurable" at the "macroscopic" level, in this case, via the evolution of the answers' entropy.…”

“…Starting from this interesting analogy, some of the authors have considered studying the human group activity as a multi-body entangled system (Galli Carminati & Carminati, 2006;Galli Carminati & Martin, 2008;Martin, Carminati, & Galli Carminati, 2010;Martin, Carminati, & Galli Carminati, 2013). This hypothesis has led to the formulation of the "absurd experiment" that is the subject of this paper and that has already been performed on different psychodynamics groups (Fernandez-Rivas et al, 2020, 2021a, 2021bTrojaola-Zapirain et al, 2014, 2015.…”

Introduction: The work's purpose is to study the group behavior of the members of six therapeutic groups, two closed and four slow-open, involved in a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) class. We studied three groups of teenagers and three of their parents or legal guardians. We confronted the groups' responses to an "absurd questionnaire" submitted during the training, and we concentrated on the entropy of the response. Methods: The research method consists of a questionnaire administered to training attendees. Participants chose one picture in each one of 50 couples ("absurd questionnaire"). In this work, we could propose a questionnaire to each trainee before the first meeting of the groups. We studied the longitudinal evolution of entropy, and we also compared the six groups according to their first picture choices and their evolution, the changes in the choices, the number of changes (flux), and the divergence or convergence toward the initial answer (focus). We have also analyzed the frequency of entropy variation via the Fourier transform. Results: We find the maximum statistical difference between parents' and adolescents' closed groups. The entropy trend is steeper in the adolescent closed group. The entropy evolution depends more on the age group (parents or adolescents) in closed and slow-open groups than on the setting. We found an increase in entropy from the beginning to the end of the training in all the groups. Conclusions: The clear outcome of this study is the
