Why the study?
Does self-monitoring of nonverbal behaviors improve self-monitoring accuracy compared to verbal behaviors in VA hospital in-patients?
Does self-monitoring of nonverbal behaviors improve self-monitoring accuracy compared to verbal behaviors in VA hospital in-patients?
Self-recording accuracy is superior with nonverbal target behaviors compared to verbal behaviors in a clinical inpatient setting.
Nonverbal self-recording may offer accuracy benefits in VA inpatients; leaves open extension to clinical outcomes and other populations.
The effect of response class on self-monitoring accuracy was investigated in a clinical population. 16 in-patients of a VA hospital self-monitored verbal and nonverbal behaviors in a couterbalanced design. The results supported suggestions of superior self-recording accuracy with nonverbal target behaviors. The implications for clinical use of self-monitoring in assessment are discussed.
