Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact a weekend course in authentic relating had on different aspects of the quality of the participants' relationships. The relationship quality was measured in two contexts: Between the course participants and in their existing relationships outside the course context. The aim was to investigate whether the course affected the quality of relationships between the participants and whether the participants could benefit from new skills to improve relationships in a different context. A convenience sample of 33 people was recruited among participants at four weekend courses in authentic relating given between March and October 2022. Five self-rating scales were used to measure different... (More)

A convenience sample of 33 people was recruited among participants at four weekend courses in authentic relating given between March and October 2022. Five self-rating scales were used to measure different aspects of relationship quality including perceived partner responsiveness, fear of intimacy, strength of the relational bond, closeness and positive and negative feelings towards the relationship. The results showed that the relationship quality between the participants increased after the course. Participants reported a significant increase in experienced closeness, relational bond and more positive feelings towards another course participant, who they also experienced as more responsive. With regards to the quality of relationships outside the course context, no significant pre-post differences were found for any of study outcomes. Participants did not report any significant difference in closeness, bond, responsiveness or fear of intimacy in these relationships. Due to the methodological limitations of the study the results must be interpreted with great caution. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken påverkan en helgkurs i autentiskt relaterande hade på kvaliteten i deltagarnas relationer. Relationskvalitet mättes i två kontexter: Mellan kursdeltagarna respektive i deras befintliga relationer utanför kurskontexten. Syftet var att undersöka om kursen påverkade relationskvaliteten mellan deltagarna och om deltagarna kunde dra nytta av nya färdigheter för att förbättra relationer i en annan kontext. Ett bekvämlighetsurval på 33 personer rekryterades bland deltagare vid fyra helgkurser i autentiskt relaterade som hölls mellan mars och oktober 2022. Fem självskattningsskalor användes för att mäta olika aspekter av relationskvalitet i form av upplevd lyhördhet hos partnern, rädsla för intimitet,... (More)

Ett bekvämlighetsurval på 33 personer rekryterades bland deltagare vid fyra helgkurser i autentiskt relaterade som hölls mellan mars och oktober 2022. Fem självskattningsskalor användes för att mäta olika aspekter av relationskvalitet i form av upplevd lyhördhet hos partnern, rädsla för intimitet, styrkan på det relationella bandet, närhet samt positiva respektive negativa känslor inför relationen. Resultaten visade att deltagarna upplevde signifikant ökad närhet, starkare relationellt band och mer positiva känslor gentemot en annan kursdeltagare, som de också upplevde som mer lyhörd. Kvaliteten i relationer utanför kurskontexten hade inte förändrats vid uppföljning. Deltagarna upplevde ingen skillnad varken i närhet, relationellt band, lyhört bemötande eller rädsla för intimitet i dessa relationer. På grund av studiens metodologiska begränsningar måste resultaten tolkas med stor försiktigt. (Less)
