title: Evaluation of an instructions and modeling procedure for training behavioral assessment interviewing.
abstract: Ten undergraduate psychology majors served as participants in two experiments training behavioral assessment interviewing skills. In the first study four participants received training with instructions and audio and written modeling in a multiple baseline across participants design. All participants increased interviewing performance substantially with training. The second study was conducted to evaluate the written instructional material alone. After baseline interviews all six remaining participants received training with instructions in a multiple baseline across participants fashion. For four participants who did not increase interview performance to 90% correct with instructions, the modeling component was added as a third phase. By the end of a subsequent feedback phase all participants increased their performance to 90% or better. Social validation measures of participants' interviewing performance were than added to evaluate process-related variables in the interview.
