“…Most importantly, previous research suggests that the locus of control trait is malleable, meaning that it can be changed over time through careful intervention (Davis-Berman & Berman, 1989;Hans, 2000;Newberry & Lindsay, 2000;Wright, 1983). For example, many studies have found that well designed adventure programming (e.g., challenge courses, wilderness experience programs, Outward Bound) encourages a more internal locus of control (Hans, 2000).…”

“…Uzamaz (2000) examined the effects of social skills training on adolescents interpersonal level and he found that the social skills training increased the level of interpersonal relationships of adolescents. Lastly, Newbery and Lindsay (2003) studied the effect of social skills training on the locus of control of youth from residential care and they found that the internal locus of control of students participating in social skills training was higher than the control group. These findings show that the social skill training programs helps participants to raise their social skill level and to overcome their weakness and incompetence.…”

This research was done in order to investigate the effects of the social skill training program on the social skill levels of young people in the age of military service in Cyprus. The sample of the investigation consists of 68 young people, who were applied to the military service in 2015. In order to determine social skill levels of the participants, Social Skill Inventory (SSI) was used. And the effects of the social skill training program on the social skill levels of participants were analyzed by the experimental method, which was based on pre-test and post-test model. As a result of the comparison, there were significant differences found between the pre-test scores of the test group before the execution of social skill training program and post-test scores after the execution of social skill training program. In the light of the data, it was concluded that the social skill training program has a positive impact on the social skill level of participants.

“…For example, Larson et al . However, Newberry & Lindsay (2000) found in their study that adventure training was more effective than a social skills training programme, in boosting self-esteem and locus of control for young people in a residential setting. They ran a small group training intervention for 15 sessions and found that six out of seven outcome measures had changed positively.…”

A B S T R AC TThis paper sets out to examine the basis and use of cognitive-behavioural interventions with adolescents in residential child care. The paper outlines the results of a survey of the use of cognitive-behavioural interventions in Scotland. The survey indicates that such interventions are used widely in residential schools and secure units in Scotland. The paper then reviews some of the studies relating to cognitive-behavioural interventions, which appear to be most relevant to residential child care. The review revealed many of the positive outcomes of cognitive-behavioural interventions. However, there are some cautionary notes highlighted by the survey and the review. These relate to issues about generalization of learning and the meaning of the intervention for the young person and for the staff. The paper discusses the importance of other factors in determining the success of cognitive-behavioural interventions. These factors include the importance of accurate assessment, the role of staff training and the need to ensure that interventions are always in the best interests of the child.
