The effects of videotape models on the behavior of chronic schizophrenics.
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.
