As social work and other mental health professions move into the 21 st century, competence-based group interventions that take into consideration the unique history and specific needs of Black women are essential. Many Black women in the United States experience unique stressors that often impede their ability to interact and cope effectively within their psychosocial environment. An examination is necessary of the factors that impact upon the ability of many Black women to cope with everyday stressors, and to master situations that often induce psychological distress, this study is based upon such an examination. Using an experimental design, composed of an intervention group and a non-treatment control group with pretest and posttest measures, this study tested three hypotheses concerning the effectiveness of a psycho-educational group intervention program involving 58 undergraduate Black college women (30 intervention and 28 control). This study modified the research model of psychosocial competence constructed by Tyler (1978) which focuses on self-attitudes and behavioral attributes. The group intervention program expands how Tyler's model is applied to include the cultural perspective of Black women. The model incorporates the use of literary works authored by Black women as an innovative tool for enhancing the group process. Results of the study revealed that after the 8-week group program the level of perceived stress among intervention group participants was reduced significantly when compared to members of the control group. The difference remained statistically significant after control variables were taken into account. However, the data failed to support the hypotheses that the intervention would have a statistically significant effect on decreasing the participants' external locus of control and increasing active coping.

Implications for social work practice and research are discussed.
