520 $a The major goal of this study has been to explore the effects of a wilderness outward-bound type experience where eustress was employed to assist couples in relationship wilderness enrichment.
520 $a The major goal of this study has been to integrate an outdoor rockclimbing program with an inward bound type program in a four day wilderness couples enrichment program. The second goal was to incorporate the use of the physical self in the traditional cognitive-affective enrichment program formats using a group structure in order to discern the difference between verbal trust and the nonverbal enactment of trust. This goal is especially significant because trust has been considered the basis of all human relationships. The third goal has been to utilize eustress (the positive use of stress) in a planful way so it can be the catalyst for change. The fourth goal was to determine what results from this experience can be applied to the knowledge base about bonded relationships.
520 $a The data analyzed here came from 20 individuals, or ten couples, married 18 years or less. The couples were volunteer subjects from participants in a couples wilderness enrichment program. The couples were asked to participate in this study by a therapist and outward-bound trainer who had an information session for possible participants.
520 $a All couples first filled out self-report questionnaires which focused on: (1) Background information; (2) Lifestyle Assessment Inventory (LAQ); (3) Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR); (4) Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES); (5) Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes; (6) Self-Esteem (Tennessee Self-Concept); (7) Fundamental Relationship Orientation--Behavior (FIRO-B); (8) Couples Climbing Questionnaire (CCQ).
520 $a The couples completed these questionnaires when they arrived at "The Edge," a large retreat home on the North Shore of Lake Superior. They had four days of living together, climbing and talking together in evening discussions.
520 $a Individual (male and female) scores were separated and couples' scores were recorded on all the instruments. After the post-testing, six weeks after the climbing weekend experience, data were analyzed and mean scores were examined on all variables, some within the framework of the Circumplex Model (FIRO-B, FACES, and PAIR). t tests were run to determine significance of change after the climbing weekend.
520 $a The study resulted in validation of some assumptions about relationships and enrichment. The sample consisted of 9 of the couples falling within the "normal" or open range on the Circumplex model; couples had increased self-esteem at post-testing time. Trust findings were significant; women's self-trust increased twice that of men's; as women's self-trust increased, so did their "perceived intellectual intimacy." Women also reflected less need for inclusion at post-testing. Men showed higher scores on "perceived emotional intimacy" at pre- and post-testing. While couples did show increase in life changes (stress) at post-testing, they reported less Family Strain.
520 $a The study reflected many of the gender-linked cultural stereotypes--that women had less trust in themselves, that males trusted equipment more than women, that women's overall wellness, including physical health, was higher than men's and that women's perception of their partner's trust in them was less than that of men's.
520 $a The main goal of the study was to explore the relationship between the variables linked with enrichment programs for paired relationships. From this study a group of hypotheses can be generated for further research.
520 $a What we have learned here is that when couples experience an enrichment program including nonverbal communication through the metaphor of rock climbing, we can integrate qualitative and quantitative findings to learn what dimensions of enrichment programs might have further in-depth study.
