A time-lagged design was used to examine how the perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole by the other group members at an earlier point in the group were related to an individual group member's perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole at a later point in the group. We also examined how treatment outcome moderated this relationship. Seventy-three patients diagnosed as overweight or obese participating in 10 short-term therapy groups provided data for analyses. Group members completed measures of cohesion to the group and alliance to the group as a whole at the third, sixth, and last session of 12-session groups as well as pre- and posttest ratings on Obesity-Related Well-Being and the Outcome Questionnaire-45. As hypothesized, earlier ratings of alliance to the group as a whole by the other group members were related to later ratings of alliance to the group as a whole by the group member. Also as hypothesized, when group members had a better outcome, there was a significant positive relationship between perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole by the other group members at an earlier point in the group and an individual group member's perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole at a later point in time. When members had a worse outcome, there was no relationship between perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole by the other group members at an earlier point in the group and an individual group member's perceptions of alliance to the group as a whole at a later point in the group.
采用时滞设计来考察在团体早期，其他团体成员对整个团体的联盟感知与个体团体成员在团体后期对整个团体的联盟感知之间的关系。我们还考察了治疗结果对此关系的调节作用。73 名被诊断为超重或肥胖的患者参与了 10 个短期治疗小组，为分析提供了数据。团体成员在 12 次团体治疗的第 3、6 和最后一次会议以及肥胖相关幸福感和结果问卷-45 的前测和后测上完成了对团体凝聚力和对整个团体联盟的测量。正如假设的那样，其他团体成员对整个团体的早期联盟评估与团体成员对整个团体的后期联盟评估有关。同样假设的是，当团体成员的治疗结果更好时，团体成员在团体早期对整个团体的联盟感知与个体团体成员在团体后期对整个团体的联盟感知之间存在显著的正相关关系。当成员的治疗结果更差时，在团体早期其他成员对整个团体的联盟感知与个体成员在团体后期对整个团体的联盟感知之间没有关系。
