Abstract

En 中文

Women [79] participated in a program designed to compare assertion therapy based on a skill-deficit model with a procedure based on a response inhibition model. Participants were assigned randomly to 1 of 5 treatment groups: behavioral rehearsal, systematic rational restructuring, behavior rehearsal/rational restructuring, relationship and waiting list controls, and were also assigned to a male or female therapist. Treatment was carried out at 2 separate locations resulting in a 2 .times. 2 .times. 5 factorial design. The combined behavior rehearsal/rational restructuring therapy was superior. There were few differences among the 4 contact groups on self-report measures. On both a role-play test and a contrived situational test, all 3 behavioral treatments were equally successful at facilitating women to make a response, whereas treatments employing behavior rehearsal were more effective in improving the assertion quality of the response. At follow-up all treatment groups typically maintained or improved on their gains, but failed to differ from each other on a self-report battery. No effect for sex of therapist was obtained. Results were the same at both locations, indicating generalizability of results across more than 1 research setting.
