This study tested social skills training (SST), didactic training (DT), and no training (NT) on adolescents' social skills for resisting peer pressure to engage in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and pregnancy risk behavior.
A total of 307 Latino and Anglo youth ages 13-18 years were assigned at random to receive 18 h of SST, 18 h of DT, or NT.
Significantly (p < 0.05) greater increases in assertiveness followed SST compared to DT or NT for three trained skills: condom negotiation, asking a friend about their sex/drug history, and discussing a friend's risk of AIDS. Untrained negotiation skills (e.g., purchasing a condom) did not increase significantly. SST did not result in increased assertiveness for refusal skills. DT increased knowledge of AIDS significantly more than SST; both DT and SST increased knowledge significantly more than NT.
Social skills training can increase assertiveness for certain negotiation skills that may decrease risk of AIDS for Latino, Anglo, and male and female adolescents. Both DT and SST can increase knowledge of AIDS prevention. Differences between experimental groups were supported by differences between trained and untrained skills within the SST condition, adding to discriminant validity.
本研究测试了社交技能训练（SST）、说教式训练（DT）以及无训练（NT）对青少年社交技能的影响，这些社交技能旨在帮助他们抵制同伴压力，避免参与获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）和怀孕相关的风险行为。
总共307名年龄在13 - 18岁的拉丁裔和盎格鲁青年被随机分配，分别接受18小时的社交技能训练、18小时的说教式训练或无训练。
对于三项训练技能（避孕套谈判、询问朋友的性/吸毒史以及讨论朋友的艾滋病风险），与说教式训练或无训练相比，社交技能训练后自信的提升显著更大（p < 0.05）。未训练的谈判技能（如购买避孕套）没有显著提高。社交技能训练并未使拒绝技能的自信增加。说教式训练比社交技能训练更显著地增加了艾滋病知识；说教式训练和社交技能训练都比无训练更显著地增加了知识。
社交技能训练可以增强某些谈判技能的自信，这可能会降低拉丁裔、盎格鲁裔以及男女青少年感染艾滋病的风险。说教式训练和社交技能训练都可以增加艾滋病预防知识。实验组之间的差异得到了社交技能训练条件下训练技能与未训练技能差异的支持，增强了区分效度。
