The effect of self-modeling of positive affective behaviors on students' attitudes toward school
1990
Overview
The purpose of this experimental study was to learn whether self-modeling would be effective in altering attitudes. Results from such a study would also contribute to knowledge of the effectiveness of Albert Bandura's social cognitive learning theory as applied to the modeling of attitudes. This study was conducted in a high school setting with 34 10th-grade students randomly selected from nine English classes. The treatment and control groups were each composed of 17 students, all of whom were administered the Study Attitudes survey, a subscale of Brown and Holtzman's Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, and observed using a behavior checklist of 17 behaviors taken from the attitude survey. All the subjects were then exposed to a videotaping process in several of their classes. The videotapes of the treatment group were edited to produce two, 2-2.5 minute videotapes of the student performing positive, in-school behaviors which were noted with a dubbed voice interjected six times on each tape. The treatment group viewed their tapes 10 times over a four-week period. After the treatment period, all subjects were again observed for the checklist behaviors and readministered the attitude survey. An analysis of variance was performed on each of the dependent variables: Study Attitude scores and behavior checklist scores. No significant differences were found between pre- and posttests or between the treatment group and the control group on either of the dependent variables. The results of the data analysis were not sufficient to confirm or refute the effectiveness of the self-modeling technique or social cognitive learning theory in the changing of attitudes. Recommendations based on this study include the conducting of additional research on the modeling of attitudes to increase positive affect, the self-modeling of a range of attitudes with subjects of varying ages and numbers, and, most emphatically, the conducting of experimental research that will further define and evaluate students' attitudes toward school.
