Although group studies seem to appear veηpromising, little research attention has focused on basic studies, such as examining therapeutic factors in groups. Previous studies have not conducted such research, perhaps in part due to the lack of inventories to assess these types of therapeutic factors. This investigation was to develop and validate a scale of the Group Therapeutic Factor Inventory. Two hundred and eighty-nine subjects from 25 groups at 17 institutions participated in this study. Results supported the factorial validity and reliability of the scale. The concurrent validity of the scale was also supported by its correlating with the GCQ, SEQ, and the ATQ significantly. Implications of the results for group practice as well as further research are discussed.
