Cluster analysis of the patient version of the AID (originally an instrument to assess therapist's technique) gave a dimension of involvement (degree to which patient expects therapist to be involved). 3 instruments were used to test hypotheses about the correlates of involvement. In Study I, 142 college students responded to the AID, Rotter's I-E scale, and Edwards' Situation Preference Inventory. In Study II, 190 college students responded to the AID and a self-disclosure inventory. Hypotheses were not confirmed.
