the intake session, and about 4% with engagers. However, Tryon (2003) did not<br />
specifically test whether the conditions (engagers vs. non-engagers) differed on open<br />
questions with any statistical methods.<br />
Research Question 4: Do proportions of therapist restatements differ across time (1 st , 2 nd ,<br />
and 3 rd thirds of intake sessions) and condition (engager versus non-engager)?<br />
Hill (1978) found that the use of restatements decreased significantly between<br />
first two thirds and the last third of intake sessions (8% for 1 st third, 9% for 2 nd third, and<br />
4% for last third; p < .001; see Table 1). Lonborg et al. (1991) did not find significant<br />
differences across thirds (9% in the first third, 16% in the second third, 25% in the last<br />
third; see Table 2).<br />
Tryon (2003) found no significant differences between engagers versus non-<br />
engagers for therapist use of restatements (restatements were used about about 6% of the<br />
time for both engagement and non-engagement groups). No studies have examined<br />
whether the timing of restatements across thirds of intake sessions differed between<br />
engagers and non-engagers.<br />
Research Question 5: Do proportions of therapist reflections of feeling differ across time<br />
(1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd thirds of intake sessions) and condition (engager versus non-engager)?<br />
Hill (1978) and Lonborg et al. (1991) found that the use of reflections did not<br />
significantly differ across thirds (see Table 1 and Table 2). No studies have examined<br />
reflections across condition (engagers vs. non-engagers), or across the interaction of time<br />
and condition for intake sessions.<br />
