title: The effects of videotape models on the behavior of chronic schizophrenics.
abstract: The effects of "good" and "poor" peer models on the task performance of 45 chronic schizophrenic males were investigated. The findings revealed that patients who viewed a good peer model did significantly better on a subsequent task than patients who viewed either a poor model or no model. The use of peer models in the treatment of chronic schizophrenics was suggested.
