Two
postprogram instruments were used: the Postprogram
Interview Questionnaire (PIQ) and
the Postprogram Helpee Follow-up Questionnaire (PHFQ).[191] Both questionnaires were constructed by the director and approved
by the director's committee chairman prior to implementation of the
project. One change was made after
approval and after implementation: the
various questions on each questionnaire were enumerated to facilitate data
collection and the construction of the evaluation. The data from these two questionnaires were reported in chapter

The following
worksheets were created to facilitate the collection of data and the scoring of
three tests: the Counselor Response
Questionnaire,[193] the Responding Questionnaire,[194] and the discrimination exercises. The three worksheets were named
accordingly: the item 1: Counselor Response Questionnaire Worksheet
(CRQW), the item 2: Responding
Questionnaire Worksheet (RQW), and item 3:
Discrimination Exercise Worksheet (DEW).
The
worksheets were used to collect data during various portions of the
program. The CRQW and the REW were used
to collect data from the pretest and the posttest scores of the control and
experimental groups. The data from the
CRQW pretest scores were used to help divide the control group from the
experimental group as was explained in chapter 2. The data from both the CRQW and the RQW pretest and posttest
scores were used in construction of part of chapter 3.
The DEW was
used to collect data from homework assignments given to the control group
participants during the first six program sessions. The participant's DEW scores were recorded on the following day
and reported in the daily pastoral observations and reflections that were kept
by the director (see appendix 8).
