A technique for assessing adherence to relaxation training instructions.
One of the difficulties in researching adherence to relaxation training is accurate self-monitoring. Here, a small form that fits into the case of the relaxation cassette tape is described that provides a convenient means of documenting practice, including whether the person practiced, if the practice was beneficial, and several specifics about the particular practice. A five-week trial with 36 undergraduate students indicated that it is a useful method for assessing adherence to relaxation training.
