Examining the Effectiveness of Social Skills Training and Parenting Skills Training in the Rural Schools

Year: 2006

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of school-based social skills training (SST) and parenting skills training (PT) groups in a rural community. Further, the study examined the relationship of parenting stress and parent psychological functioning to child outcome variables. Participants for the study were 14 students attending regular or special education classes in the third or fourth grade in a rural Oklahoma school district, their parents, and their teachers. Dependent variables included the BASC, ECBI, SESBI-R, SSRS, BSI, PSI, and observational data. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either SST-only or SST/PT and completed assessment measures pre and post intervention. It was hypothesized that children in the SST/PT condition would demonstrate more behavioral improvements across time as compared to the SST-only children.
