Abstract
-
Two Social Skills groups composed of psychiatric/mentally retarded adults were videotaped. The social skills training utilized modeling, behavioral rehearsal and feedback-social reinforcement. Planned group discussion topics were social skills areas and in several areas paralleled the stages of social work group development. Targeted behaviors were appropriate statements (one word, more than one word) and inappropriate statements. Both groups were videotaped. The experimental group observed clips of their videotape as feedback. The control group did not receive' video feedback. Outcome measures were frequencies by type of response (appropriate and inappropriate statements) at selected intervals using the videotape record, Social Avoidance and Distress (SAD) scale, Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE) scale and a group therapy evaluation questionnaire. Traditional social skills training proved to be statistically effective with the control group. Video feedback did not prove to be effective as an augmentation in the acquisition of social skills as measured in this project with the experimental group.
