Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to determine through the use of objective tests, whether there were significant conceptual changes as well as changes in attitudes, interests, values, understanding, and ways of relating among 14 students who had followed an eleven-week supervised pastoral education program at the Montreal Pastoral Institute during the summer of 1972.Pre- and post-training scores for The Adjective Check List (ACL), The Sixteen Personality Questionnaire (16PF), and The Semantic Differential showed that the ACL was the most useful instrument in detecting positive significant changes (8 scales beyond the five-percent level). On the 16PF, only two factors showed a significant difference and on The Semantic Differential, only one of the nine concepts was significantly different.The reasons for individual changes were related to highly personalized factors; the pre-training MMPI scores were helpful in determining the processes operating to produce changes—especially on the ACL.
