Use of the Adjective Generation Technique to Measure Effects of Training Parents

Abstract

A modified instruction of the Adjective Generation Technique was used to evaluate the effects of a training program for parents. The modified technique was completed by 12 parents (1 father, 11 mothers) who were asked to describe themselves from their children's perspective, prior to and following the completion of a parents' training program. There was a significant reduction in parents' perceptions of anxiety and a significant increase in favorability.
