VIDEO-TAPE ROLE PLAYING IN JOB INTERVIEW

75 PATIENTS REFERRED TO VOCATIONAL COUNSELING IN A NEUROPSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL WERE ASSIGNED TO 3 TREATMENT GROUPS: (1) A CONTROL GROUP, (2) A GROUP EXPOSED TO SPECIALLY DESIGNED PROGRAMED MATERIALS, AND (3) A GROUP GIVEN THE PROGRAMED MATERIALS AND PRACTICE JOB INTERVIEWS USING A VIDEO TAPE RECORDER FOR THE SHAPING OF BEHAVIOR. MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE ON THE ADEQUACY OF FILLING OUT APPLICATION BLANKS AND LATER JOB INTERVIEW. NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WERE FOUND AMONG THE 3 GROUPS. AN EXPLANATION FOR APPARENT LACK OF EFFECT IS SUGGESTED. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved). © 1968 American Psychological Association.
