An Analysis of the Effects of a Self-Control Training Program on the Acquisition and Generalization of Social Behaviors in a Work Setting

The primary purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of a self-control training program in facilitating the acquisition and generalization of two social behaviors. Specifically, the effects of a self-instructional training package in increasing the percentage of self-initiated contacts with the supervisor when employees run out of work materials and/or need assistance were examined across five subjects. The self-instructional package was comprised of verbal instruction, modeling, role-playing, corrective feedback, and social reinforcement. Generalized responding was assessed across settings and time.
