    Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to compare the eof fectivenes.s. of· two· relaxation. techniques,. progressive. muscle relaxation (PMR) and guided imagery (GI), on the red-uction o·f stre·ss. A· total. of· 52 subjects completed the· study ('PMR··, N--17.; ·Gr, N-20;. control, N--15). A pre-test post-test multigroup ·experimental design was_ the design method utilized in this study. .Stress levels were measured using Lefebvre's -Strain Questionnaire. 'I'reatment s:ubjects received. a 45.minute training, were asked .. to listen to. an audio tape of the. relaxation technique once daily, and returned-after two weeks for·p~st-t~st. A repeated measures MANOVA_ indic.ated a. significant interaction between the groups. (F=21.09, p· < .01). A Tukey HSD procedure indi~ated that the coritrol _group differed significantly from. the two_ treatment groups -(p < .05). The.·treatmen~ groups did not differ significantly from each other. The hypothe?is that GI would be more effective than PMR in reducing ·stress was not .s.upported_. It was concluded that neither GI nor PMR were more effective in. reducing_ stress.
