| In response, teachers spend large amounts of time having their students take pretests in preparation for the standardized test. |
| There were no statistically significant differences between the pretests and the post-tests for Group 1 regarding Role Ambiguity and Physical Environment. |
| After the pretests were completed, the intervention group began receiving the classroom guidance lessons twice per week for the next 9 weeks. |
| This lack of clarity may produce 'average' responses on pretests which do not differ much from slightly-improved post-treatment tests. |
| Table 2 indicates that the two groups were statistically equivalent on the pretests. |
| As mentioned earlier, the comparison group includes nine eligible couples that completed pretests and follow-up tests, but did not participate in treatment. |
