Individual Social Skills Training (ISST) is a short term, individually delivered intervention (8-10 sessions) that promotes social skills in children with emerging or existing conduct problems. This study examined the effectiveness of ISST immediately and 6 months after the termination of the intervention.
The participants were 198 children (3-12 years) who were randomly assigned to ISST or practice as usual. The data were collected from parents, children and teachers.
Findings showed positive change on most outcomes in both study conditions. However, examining the relative effectiveness of the intervention, only one positive effect of ISST emerged on parent-reported child conduct problems immediately after intervention.
These results suggest that compared to the control group, ISST had limited effects in ameliorating child problem behavior. These data suggest that it is not sufficient to provide ISST when aiming to reduce conduct problems in children.
个体社交技能训练（ISST）是一种短期的、针对个体实施的干预措施（8 - 10节课程），旨在提升有新出现或已存在行为问题的儿童的社交技能。本研究考察了ISST在干预结束后即刻以及6个月后的效果。
参与者为198名3至12岁的儿童，他们被随机分配至ISST组或常规练习组。数据从家长、儿童和教师处收集。
研究结果显示，在两种研究条件下，大多数结果都有积极变化。然而，在考察干预的相对效果时，干预后即刻只有一项关于家长报告的儿童行为问题的积极效果显现出来。
这些结果表明，与对照组相比，ISST在改善儿童问题行为方面效果有限。这些数据表明，旨在减少儿童行为问题时，仅提供ISST是不够的。
