Popis: A social skills assessment battery consisting of paper and pencil and videotape measures and demographic information was administered to 22 male spinal cord injury patients. The Social Skills group and Social Skills+Film group then participated in a training course involving videotape feedback, lecture-discussion, and modeling in learning to manage situations which had been shown to be problematical. A Film Only group was shown the complete educational film 4 weeks after the preassessment. Another group received no training. The results showed no statistically significant differences among the groups on the subjective measures but did show differences on the behavioral measures. Examination of group means showed that the training groups were greater than the Film Only and No-Training groups on rated overall assertiveness. On the noncompliance and request for new behavior measures the Social Skills group was greater than the other groups. All subjects showed more overall assertiveness and more requests for new behavior with males.
