Which type of goals in Adlerian groups may entail becoming more socially oriented?

• A. Interpersonal
• B. Intrapsychic
• C. Cognitive
• D. Behavioral

Answer: (A)

In Adlerian groups, the focus is on developing social interest and a sense of belonging within the community. Interpersonal goals are about how you relate to others, contribute to the group, and become more socially useful. Cultivating these goals directly promotes a more socially oriented stance, aligning with Adler’s emphasis on connections, cooperation, and mutual support. Intrapersonal goals center on one’s inner life, thoughts, and feelings; cognitive goals target thinking patterns; and behavioral goals focus on specific actions. While all can be part of growth, only interpersonal goals explicitly aim at enhancing social orientation and relationships with others.
