Although the majority of evidence-based programs are designed for group delivery, group process and its role in participant outcomes have received little empirical attention. Data were collected from 20 groups of participants (94 early adolescents, 120 parents) enrolled in an efficacy trial of a mindfulness-based adaptation of the Strengthening Families Program (MSFP). Following each weekly session, participants reported on their relations to group members. Social network analysis and methods sensitive to intraindividual variability were integrated to examine weekly covariation between group process and participant progress, and to predict post-intervention outcomes from levels and changes in group process. Results demonstrate hypothesized links between network indices of group process and intervention outcomes and highlight the value of this unique analytic approach to studying intervention group process.
尽管大多数循证项目是为团体实施而设计的，但团体过程及其在参与者结果中的作用却很少受到实证关注。数据收集自20组参与一项基于正念的强化家庭计划改编版（MSFP）效能试验的参与者（94名青少年早期个体、120名家长）。在每周的每次课程结束后，参与者报告他们与团体成员的关系。整合社会网络分析和对个体内变异性敏感的方法，以检验团体过程与参与者进展之间的每周协变情况，并从团体过程的水平和变化预测干预后的结果。结果证明了团体过程的网络指标与干预结果之间的假设联系，并突出了这种独特分析方法在研究干预团体过程中的价值。
