Li supports this view by pointing to the motivations for many of the participants in the growth groups. Most of them were frustrated in their relationships with women, or had difficulties adjusting to married life. Moreover, many came because they were asked to do so by their wives or girlfriends.
他舉來參加成長團體的成員動機為例，大多是在兩性關係中曾經遭受挫折、對婚姻適應有困難，而且很多是被太太、女友要求來的。
