There are increasing numbers of self-referral stress-management programs, a few of which use group-relaxation techniques, but few data are available on the personalities of the symptomatic and asymptomatic clients who attend or on any changes in personality after the program. Scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory, Multiple Health Locus of Control, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory as well as demographic information were obtained from 255 adults who attended a 10-session, university-based, group-relaxation program. The symptomatic clients reported significantly less anxiety, less neuroticism, were more extraverted and ascribed less of their behavior to chance at a 1 month post-treatment follow-up than at intake. The small group of asymptomatic clients also reported less anxiety and neuroticism at the follow-up. There were no sex differences on the Eysenck inventory or the anxiety scales but there were for the Multiple Health internal and control scales. It was concluded that group relaxation appeared to improve mental health scores effectively for both stressed and nonstressed adults and that age was significantly related to some personality scores.
自我推荐的压力管理项目越来越多，其中一些采用团体放松技巧，但对于参加项目的有症状和无症状客户的个性，以及项目结束后个性的任何变化，可用数据很少。从255名参加了一个为期10节、以大学为基础的团体放松项目的成年人那里获得了艾森克人格量表、多重健康控制点量表和状态-特质焦虑量表的得分以及人口统计学信息。有症状的客户在治疗后1个月的随访中报告的焦虑、神经质明显减少，更外向，且将自己的行为归因于偶然的情况比入院时少。一小部分无症状客户在随访中也报告焦虑和神经质减少。艾森克量表或焦虑量表上没有性别差异，但在多重健康内控和外控量表上有性别差异。研究得出结论，团体放松似乎能有效提高有压力和无压力成年人的心理健康得分，且年龄与一些个性得分显著相关。
