    Occupational therapy clients experienced reduced feelings of power when denied choice in group activities. Providing choice in activities is crucial for enhancing client self-perception and engagement in occupational therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational therapy
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • A core principle in occupational therapy is that client choice in activities enhances participation and outcomes.
    • Understanding the psychological impact of choice versus no choice is vital for effective therapeutic interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the affective responses of individuals to freedom of choice in activities.
    • To compare these responses in individual versus group settings.
    • To explore the influence of choice on self-perception, specifically evaluation, power, and activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty female students participated in an origami activity under four conditions: individual-choice, individual-no choice, group-choice, and group-no choice.
    • Participants rated their affective responses using Osgood's semantic differential, focusing on evaluation, power, and activity.

  • Statistical analysis examined the interaction between choice and setting on affective responses.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant interaction was found between choice and setting on the 'power' factor.
    • Subjects in the group-no choice condition reported significantly different feelings of power compared to those with choice.
    • No significant differences were observed in the individual setting regarding the power factor.

    Conclusions:

    • The lack of choice significantly impacts feelings of power, particularly in group settings, within occupational therapy contexts.
    • Occupational therapy practitioners should consider the setting when implementing choice-based interventions.
    • Facilitating choice in activities may be essential for empowering clients in group therapy sessions.
