To explore the preventive efficacy of training in coping and social skills, 121 high school students were assigned to four risk classifications, assessed by measures of psychological vulnerability and environmental adversity; within each group, subjects were randomly assigned to a preventive intervention or assessment-only control condition. Findings suggest that group behavioral training can be a beneficial and economical preventive approach with symptom-free high school students, and that training in social skills may benefit those with behavior problems that presage maladjustment.
为探究应对和社交技能训练的预防效果，121名高中生被分为四个风险类别，通过心理易损性和环境逆境测量进行评估；在每个组内，受试者被随机分配到预防干预组或仅进行评估的对照组。研究结果表明，团体行为训练对于无症状的高中生可能是一种有益且经济的预防方法，而且社交技能训练可能会使那些存在预示适应不良的行为问题的学生受益。
