Which is a key characteristic of T-groups?

• A. Psychoanalytic interpretation.
• B. Long-term psychotherapy.
• C. Expressing oneself effectively.
• D. Individual homework.

Answer: (C)

T-groups are built around experiential learning through direct, real-time feedback within the group. A defining feature is that participants practice expressing their thoughts and feelings openly and clearly, then receive immediate reactions from others. This process helps people become more aware of how their communication and behavior affect those around them, and it trains them to articulate themselves more effectively in interpersonal interactions. The focus is on here-and-now group dynamics and feedback, not on interpreting unconscious processes (psychoanalytic), not on long-term individual therapy, and not on assigning personal homework in isolation.
