This study evaluates the impact of self-monitoring on three heterosexual conversational behaviors of head trauma youths. Two 5-minute audiotaped conversations occurred daily between the youths and unfamiliar female confederates. Two conversations occurring on alternate days in clinical and natural conversational settings were scored for the frequency of compliments, questions, and self-disclosures. A multiple baseline analysis with alternating treatments for "instructions to self-monitor" and "no instructions to self-monitor" revealed (a) self-monitoring had an accelerative effect on compliments and questions and a decelerative effect on self-disclosure; (b) self-monitoring effects were maintained despite transferring from a mechanical counter to an unspecified covert monitoring procedure; (c) self-monitoring had a comparable effect whether employed in a clinical or functional communication setting; (d) performance of the target behavior was most strongly influenced under the "instructions to self-monitor condition;" (e) once intervention was directed to another response, the rate under the instructions and no instruction conditions became equivalent; and (f) the results maintained over a 1-month follow-up for one youth available for observation. Finally, social comparison and subjective evaluation data supported the importance of intervention.
本研究评估了自我监测对头部创伤青年的三种异性对话行为的影响。青年与陌生女性同谋者每天进行两次5分钟的录音对话。在临床和自然对话环境中隔天进行的两次对话，针对赞美、提问和自我表露的频率进行评分。对“自我监测指导”和“无自我监测指导”进行交替治疗的多重基线分析显示：(a)自我监测对赞美和提问有加速作用，对自我表露有减速作用；(b)尽管从机械计数器转换为未指定的隐蔽监测程序，自我监测效果仍得以维持；(c)无论在临床还是功能性沟通环境中采用自我监测，其效果相当；(d)在“自我监测指导条件”下，目标行为的表现受影响最大；(e)一旦干预针对另一种反应，指导条件和无指导条件下的速率变得相等；(f)对一名可供观察的青年进行的1个月随访结果保持不变。最后，社会比较和主观评价数据支持了干预的重要性。
