Conducting Social Competence Research: Considering Conceptual Frameworks

Abstract: Although education professionals frequently use social skills training with students who exhibit significant behavioral problems, researchers continue to question its efficacy and generalizability. Because social skill deficits are predictive of adult adjustment problems, robust and omnibus interventions to remediate social deficits in children and youths are paramount. In this article we examine the social skills training research-to-practice process and argues that a logical and attendant line of rigorous st… Show more

“…Despite the impressive results obtained by Vaughn et al (1988), few researchers have conducted similar studies although the idea of conducting intervention within an interrelated context has continued to be advocated (Smith & Travis, 2001). The increasingly familiar reason may be that these type of studies take more time and effort than those that simply focus intervention on a target youth.…”

“…Many of these students also experience difficulties related to social competence or social functioning (Cornwall & Bawden, 1992;Smith & Travis, 2001;Snow et al, 1998;Vaughn, Elbaum, Schumm, & Hughes, 1998). In fact, social functioning difficulties, such as a lack of peer acceptance, poor self-concept, low self-esteem, peer rejection, and low academic self-perceptions, are often cited in studies as challenges faced by students with learning disabilities (Smith & Travis, 2001;Vaughn et al, 1998). In a meta-analysis of social skill deficits and interventions, an estimated 75% of students with learning difficulties received lower ratings of social skills than their peers without learning difficulties .…”

However, there is evidence to suggest that many social interventions do not yield the expected social outcomes Smith & Travis, 2001).…”
