Evaluations of the level of «experiencing» in groups of psychological training in the Spanish Language

Abstract

It is studied the discrimination of stages 1 to 5 in the Experiencing Scale (Klein et al., 1969) measuring them with the Experiencing Test 15 (Aguilar, 2004). The sample of standard population is compared with groups in different training degrees in Psychology. Although few differences are given among these last ones, they are clearly distinguished of standard sample in the prospective sense of improvement in the experiencing stages. The groups in training discriminate stage 1 and stage 2 quite well, although they don’t distinguish stage 3 to stage 5 among them. Sex differences are not given in the groups in training, but they are in the standard sample. We conclude either that training in Psychology improves people’s communication with their own feelings, or else that trainees are already inclined to it at the beginning of their training.
