“…For example, as the Other-Total Ratio of congregation decreases relative to the number of ministers), one would expect an increase in measured self-attention to accompany the presently observed increase in participation. Self-attention might be indicated in these circumstances by an increase in the use of first-person singular pronouns ("I," "me," "my," "mine"; Davis & Brock, 1975), and possibly a decrease in the use of first-person plural pronouns ("we," "us," "our," "ours"; Eng & Beck, 1982). It remains for future research to pursue these possibilities.…”

A self-attention approach to the effect of the group on the individualis applied to the phenomenon of participation in religious groups. Previous work indicates that group members become more self-attentive, and thus more concerned with matching to standards of appropriate behavior, as the relative size of their subgroup decreases. This suggests that, in the context of religious groups, members of a congregation will be more self-attentive, and thus more likely to participate in the religious group, when there are fewer congregation members relative to the number of ministers. The results of analysis of ten archival records of participation in religious groups support this perspective. The importance of self-attention processes in religious group settings is discussed.Attending a service in the Gothic cathedral, we have the sensation of being enclosed and steeped in an integral universe, and of losing a prickly sense of self in the community of worshippers.(Yi-Fu Tuan, 1 9 8 2 , '~. 127)Recent work in self-attention theory has examined the effect of the group on the individual (Carver

“…Each group member's verbal participation was measured by counting the words, pauses and other expressions as s/he spoke in the group (Eng & Beck, 1982). Table 1 shows the percentages of verbal participation for each member, in each session from the first to the twelfth sessions in Group A, which met for a total of 15 sessions.…”

“…As Eng and Beck (1982) described it in the preceding paper in this series, a characteristic pattern of group behavior typically emerging in phase two is the choice of one member-leader who is scapegoated. In this group defense mechanism, the members project their anxieties and fears on this person.…”

This is the fourth paper in the series on group development and emergent leaders. The focus here is on the design of a methodology for identifying phase boundaries and describing moment-to-moment process in psychotherapy groups. To the extent that this problem has been addressed in the past the results have been inconclusive. In particular, criteria which applied to one group were rarely found to apply to others. Our~goal has been to identify criteria which can be useful across groups. The initial task we set ourselves was to focus on two phases of group development in particular--the second and third phases--and the shift from one to the other. We felt that if we could solve the methodological problems involved in this segment of group life we would be well on our way to the creation of a system that could be applied to the entire life of a group.According to the theory of group development which guides this research (Beck, 1974; 198 lb), the second phase is a stressful time during which the group members must clarify long-term goals, deal with leadership selection, cope with both competitive urges and negative feelings, and define an initial set of norms for behavior in the group. As Eng and Beck (1982) described it in the preceding paper in this series, a characteristic pattern of group behavior typically emerging in phase two is the choice of one member-leader who is scapegoated. In this group defense mechanism, the members project their anxieties and fears on this person. They create a strong in-group atmosphere which makes them all feel that they belong and fit it. This vehicle is used to generate and clarify the leadership selection, norm development and goal setting issues of phase two (Beck & Peters,
