Abstract	We investigated the impact of a life-review on college freshmen. Participants included a life-review group of 30 (25 women, 5 men), comparison group of 36 (29 women, 7 men), and six volunteer leaders (three retired and three current faculty or staff). Circles, each with 5 to 7 students and a leader, shared workbook assignments in 14 weekly meetings. Comparison of pretest and posttest student scores on the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being revealed no significant change in the comparison group but significant gains in the review group's self-acceptance (p less than 0.01) and environmental mastery (p less than 0.001) scores. On four-point scales (poor 1, fair 2, good 3, excellent 4), the review student mean rating of 3.35 indicated a favorable response to the review. (Contains 2 tables.) (Author).
