Effects of Group Videotape Feedback on Development of Assertiveness Skills in Alcoholics: A Follow-up Study

Abstract

The effects of videotape feedback on development of assertiveness skills among employed alcoholics were evaluated. Both assertiveness training groups showed improvements in under-assertion but not over-assertion, as compared to a no-treatment control condition. However, the addition of video-feedback to a training procedure including instruction, behavioral rehearsal, trainer's feedback, and reinforcement, was not significantly more potent than the training procedure alone.
