Social Skills Interventions with Students with Emotional and Behavioral Problems: A Quantitative Synthesis of Single-Subject Research.

Mathur, Sarup R.; Kavale, Kenneth A.; Quinn, Mary Magee; Forness, Steven R.; Rutherford, Robert B., Jr.

Behavioral Disorders, v23 n3 p193-201 May 1998

A study of 64 single-subject studies examined effectiveness of social skills intervention with students with emotional or behavioral problems. The results of quantitative synthesis procedures that use a percentage of nonoverlapping data suggest that skills interventions had limited empirical support for their overall effectiveness. Implications for social skills research are discussed. (Author/CR)
