“…Os programas de habilidades sociais com utilização desses recursos virtuais vêm sendo aplicados junto a indivíduos com transtorno do espectro autístico e com esquizofrenia (Herrera et al, 2008;Park et al, 2011;Parson, 2006;Parsons, Leonard, & Mitchell, 2006;Reed, Hyman, & Hirst, 2011). Nesses casos, as tarefas apresentadas no computador podem aumentar a motivação, encorajar o envolvimento ativo na aprendizagem e propiciar a experiência de controle da situação pelo participante.…”

ResumoProgramas de intervenção em habilidades sociais associados a recursos audiovisuais e multimídia podem ser utilizados para superar défi cits e contribuir no desempenho acadêmico. Este estudo avaliou os efeitos de um programa, baseado nas vinhetas de vídeo do RMHSC-Del-Prette, sobre o repertório de habilidades sociais e o desempenho acadêmico de crianças com baixo rendimento escolar. Sob delineamento experimental, 14 crianças foram avaliadas com o Sistema de Avaliação de Habilidades Sociais antes e depois de um programa de 22 sessões grupais. O Grupo Experimental apresentou ganhos signifi cativamente maiores que o Grupo Controle em habilidades sociais e no desempenho acadêmico. Discute-se a utilidade e viabilidade do uso do RMHSC-Del-Prette em programas de intervenção e questões ligadas à sua disseminação no contexto escolar. Palavras-chave: Baixo rendimento acadêmico, habilidades sociais, recursos audiovisuais. AbstractSocial skills programs using audiovisual or multimedia resources may help to overcome social skills defi cits and low academic performance. This study evaluated the effects of a program based on video vignettes of RMHSC-Del-Prette on social skills repertoire and academic performance of children with low academic achievement. Under an experimental design, 14 children were assessed with the Social Skills Rating System before and after interventions composed by 22 sessions. Experimental Group showed signifi cantly higher gains than the Control Group in social skills and academic performance. The usefulness of RMHSC-Del-Prette in social skills programs and issues related to its dissemination in the school context are discussed.

“…A VR conversation scenario training, involving greeting, initiating, and managing a conversation, as well as interpreting facial emotions of avatars and choosing correct responses, was compared with traditional role-playing in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (N = 91). 25 Social skills improved in both groups, but patients in the VR group liked the training better and improved significantly more on conversational skills and assertiveness. A pilot study of another VR social skills training (N = 12) showed significant improvement in negative symptoms, psychopathology, social anxiety and discomfort, avoidance, and social functioning.…”

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) research on psychotic disorders has been initiated. Several studies showed that VR can elicit paranoid thoughts about virtual characters (avatars), both in patients with psychotic disorders and healthy individuals. Real life symptoms and VR experiences were correlated, lending further support to its validity. Neurocognitive deficits and difficulties in social behavior were found in schizophrenia patients, not only in abstract tasks but also using naturalistic virtual environments that are more relevant to daily life, such as a city or encounters with avatars. VR treatments are conceivable for most dimensions of psychotic disorders. There is a small but expanding literature on interventions for delusions, hallucinations, neurocognition, social cognition, and social skills; preliminary results are promising. VR applications for assessment and treatment of psychotic disorders are in their infancy, but appear to have a great potential for increasing our understanding of psychosis and expanding the therapeutic toolbox.

“…Since the first studies on social skills, there is evidence that women behave in a more skillful manner in the expression of positive feeling (Gambrill & Richey, 1975;Hollandsworth & Wall, 1977). Currently, it is identified that women are more expressive of positive emotions in virtual spaces (Thelwall et al 2010;Park et al, 2011). In this perspective, it is important to emphasize that cultural roles have a direct relationship with learning social skills (Del Prette & Del Prette, 2001).…”

Low levels of social skills in drug users are reported in the literature. However, specific characteristics of these users need to be identified and comprehended. Thus, we aim to evaluate and compare the social skills of men and women crack users and to determine the existence or not of differences in these behaviors. A cross-sectional, quantitative, and comparative research was performed. A total of 127 (65 men and 62 women) crack users in treatment for drug use participated in the study. Results demonstrate significantly higher averages of social skills among women than among men in the total score (t = 2.020; p = 0.046), self-assertion in the expression of positive affect (t = 2.755; p = 0.007), and conversation and social confidence (t = 2.101; p = 0.038). In conclusion, there is a unique repertoire of social skills in men and women in this study, showing that among men crack users, there were greater difficulties in the expression of positive feelings and social confidence, while there was more difficulty in expressing unpleasantness and dealing with negative feelings among women. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of the development of interventions focused on learning and improving social skills for the crack user population, considering the differences between men and women.
