After completing a pretraining assessment battery, 23 graduate student subjects were,assigned randomly either to an experimental condition, trained in specific inte~ewingskills, or to a delayed-training control condition. Based on videotaped interviews, pretraining to posttraining change scores showed experimental condition subjects superior to control condition subjects on ratings of forward trunk lean, open-ended questions, content and affect summarization, stimulus-response incongruence, and physical distance from a role-played client. Experimental condition subjects rated their interviewing performance more positively than did control condition subjects.
