The present study examined the utility of video selfmodeling (VSM) for reducing externalizing behaviors (e.g., aggression, conduct problems, hyperactivity, and impulsivity) observed within the classroom environment. After identification of relevant target behaviors, VSM interventions were developed for first and second grade students (N=4), ages 7-8, from a suburban school district. All participants were eligible for special education and related services, with eligibility classifications that ranged from other health impairment (OHI) to traumatic brain injury (TBI). VSM treatment outcomes were evaluated using multiple change indices (e.g., reliable change index, means difference effect size) to examine the clinical and statistical significance of differences observed between pre and postintervention administrations of parent and teacher forms of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Second Edition (BASC-2) rating scale. Although outcomes for individual participants were relatively consistent across the multiple change indices, differential effects in reductions in reports of externalizing behaviors across teacher and parent rating forms were observed. Implications, limitations, and future directions of VSM research are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
