The effects of two short-term interpersonal skills training approaches on the verbal behavior of student speech-language pathologists were evaluated during peer interviews. Students who had participated in an experiential program in which they practiced specific verbal skills used significantly more verbal behaviors though to facilitate a helping relationship than did students whose training had consisted of observing and analyzing these verbal skills in clinical interactions. Comparisons with results of previous research suggest that length of training may be a crucial variable as students appear to need considerable time and practice to master the complex skills necessary for interpersonal effectiveness.

Psychological Inventory

According to the results of two psychological tests administered to freshman medical students of classes 1960–67, Adjective Check List measuring self-concept, and the California Psychological Inventory, describing personality, women medical students see themselves as more willing than men to express feelings and admit weaknesses and as less likely to endorse the extremes of dominant and aggressive behavior. In addition, the female student is more likely than the male to view herself as totally committed to her goals and as relatively content with them. No differences were apparent between the sexes on a cluster of personality scales relating to interpersonal effectiveness (dominance, sociability, self-acceptance, and a sense of well-being). However, on scales that rated responsibility, socialization, and tolerance, and in two of three scales that measured achievement, women scored higher than men. Results of both tests confirmed the belief that women medical students tend to display more sensitivity to relationship values, more general acceptance of feelings, and greater alertness to moral and ethical issues than male medical students. They also value independence and individuality to a greater degree than their male colleagues or educated women in general.

Predicting Outcome

The difficulty in predicting outcome from therapist behaviour has been attributed to the neglect of some important variables, including the amount and type of therapy, and the skilfulness and interpersonal manner of the therapist. The present study investigated one therapists behaviour in terms of these four dimensions for a random sample of 10 adult outpatients, for whom outcome data were available. Results indicated that the type of therapy was intermediate between prescriptive and exploratory modes, that it was practiced at a satisfactory level of proficiency, and that interpersonal effectiveness was high. The related Clinical outcomes were also satisfactory in relation to the amount of therapy. In addition to illustrating a procedure for evaluating therapist behaviour and showing the correspondence between process and outcome, this “case study” provides evidence to support the need for more objective accounts of therapist behaviour.

The Relationship

This study utilized a cross-sectional design in order to explore the relationship between interpersonal effectiveness, defined as level of assertiveness, social perception, and perceived self-efficacy, and repeated sexual victimization in adolescence and adulthood. In addition, we compared global versus situation-specific measures of interpersonal effectiveness. Results indicated that global measures of interpersonal effectiveness failed to differentiate victim groups, and there were also no group differences in social perception. However, on situation-specific measures, revictimized women were significantly lower than nonvictims on sexual assertiveness and sexual self-efficacy. These results support the hypothesis that interpersonal functioning is related to sexual revictimization and highlight the need to measure interpersonal functioning specifically in sexual situations as it relates to women’s sexual assault history.

Emotion Recognition Training

Being accurate in recognizing others’ emotions from nonverbal cues has been shown to correlate with a variety of positive social outcomes. Several training programs to enhance emotion recognition ability have been developed; however, no study to date has examined whether such programs affect behaviors and outcomes in face-to-face social interactions. In the present study, dyads of same-gender students were randomly assigned to complete either a self-administered brief emotion recognition training or a control training about cloud types. All dyads then engaged in an employee-recruiter negotiation. Results showed that dyads trained in emotion recognition reached more egalitarian economic outcomes, rated themselves and their partners as less competitive after the negotiation, and received higher ratings of positive affect from independent observers. These findings open up the potential for various applications in the context of work, education, and close relationships.
