As measured by a variety of dependent variables, assertion training was effective in modifying assertive behavior but ineffective with aggressive behavior in a group of low-assertive but aggressive college women. (Author)

Assessed relative effects of therapist empathy and instructed imagination of heirarchy scenes on avoidance behavior reduction. Imagery instructions delivered in a relatively unempathetic fashion produced as much avoidance reduction as imagery instructions delivered in an empathetic manner. (Author)

There was a statistically significant difference in measured behavioral changes of a group of helpees aided by counselors who scored high or low on Carkhuff measures. There seemed to be a direct correlation between desirable counseling processes and later positive outcomes, according to ratings on a behavioral scale. (Author)

Subjects were pretested on objective and subjective responses to test suggestions of the Barber Suggestibility Scale. After being exposed to one of three treatments--experimenter modeling, hypnotic induction, or control--each subject was retested. Experimenter modeling was as effective as hypnotic induction in enhancing responsiveness to test…

Three experiments investigating variables related to the assessment and therapeutic functions of self-recording are reported. Monetary reinforcement and subject motivation were variables that enhanced the accuracy of self-monitoring. Varying levels of feedback did not differentially affect accuracy. The implications of the findings are discussed.…

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two methods of instruction, experiential training and didactic training, in facilitating the acquisition of several desirable teacher behaviors. Results indicate that teaching communication behaviors is possible with experiential training. (Author)

This experiment compares the effects of group reactive inhibition therapy and group reciprocal inhibition therapy with no treatment on the anxiety level of test-anxious college students. Twenty undergraduate students volunteered for the study and were assigned to either the reactive inhibition group, the reciprocal inhibition group, or the…

The analysis is based on published and unpublished information on sex discrimination in academia, as well as a sample of 65 cases of academic women obtained from a pilot survey. Following introductory material, Part II emphasizes patterns of…

A system of teaching based on the principles of the Token economy was developed. This system allowed students to choose not only the pace at which they would advance through a curriculae but also allowed them the choice of output mode (paper versus tests) and areas of concentration. By rewarding student participation in helping to find educational…

This paper summarizes the results of a follow-up questionnaire sent to women (N=130) who participated in assertive training programs offered over a four semester period (fall, 1973 through fall, 1974) at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the Extension Division. (Author)

This study assesses the effect of speech-anxious subjects acting as behavior therapists for other speech-anxious subjects. Subjects were divided into helper, helpee, latent helper, and waiting list control groups. Both helpers and helpees significantly reduced speech anxiety. The helpers showed more absolute improvement than the other groups.…

This study assessed the comparative effectiveness of cognitive, arousal reduction, and combined cognitive and arousal reduction treatments for test anxiety. Results indicated cognitive therapy was more effective in reducing anxiety in the analogue testing situation and improving grade point average than other treatment and control procedures.…

Questions need to be asked about whether students with an interest in the helping professions believe systematic human relations training to be useful and relevant. The present study investigated the students' evaluation of human relations training by means of the Illinois Course Evaluation Questionnaire. (Author)

This study investigates the efficacy of symbolic modeling and role-playing therapy in the reduction of avoidance behaviors. After treatment, role-playing subjects demonstrated significantly less avoidance behavior and lower subjective fear ratings than the modeling or control group subjects. (Author/SJL)
