Encounter Groups

Its purpose is to provide participants with intense experiences designed to help them examine their ways of interacting with others, their styles of self-presentation, their basic position and other issues.

9 Steps of SAFI
1. 2.

Completion of Instrument. Conceptual input: The participants read the theory and related concepts they completed to familiarize them with the conceptual framework of he instrument.

3.

Prediction: The participants predict their scores to refect their self perceptions and understanding of 3/12/13 their own styles and behaviors
