Vicarious induction of academic achievement behavior in disadvantaged adults

Vicarious induction of academic achievement behavior in disadvantaged adults Used a counseling procedure termed "vicarious induction of behavior" to develop academic achievement motivation in disadvantaged adults. The procedure required an analysis of the desired target behavior-academic achievement motivation-to identify specific skills and covert attitudes. Ss viewed and discussed videotapes that had models depicting a desire to achieve academic success and methods of achieving and executing specific achievement skills. New behaviors emerging as a consequence of the O's attainment of the modeled achievement behaviors were anticipated, specified, and evaluated. Results of a preliminary experimental study of 26 adults in basic education classes show that the procedure is easily applied and effective. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Counseling Psychology American Psychological Association

Abstract

Used a counseling procedure termed "vicarious induction of behavior" to develop academic achievement motivation in disadvantaged adults. The procedure required an analysis of the desired target behavior-academic achievement motivation-to identify specific skills and covert attitudes. Ss viewed and discussed videotapes that had models depicting a desire to achieve academic success and methods of achieving and executing specific achievement skills. New behaviors emerging as a consequence of the O's attainment of the modeled achievement behaviors were anticipated, specified, and evaluated. Results of a preliminary experimental study of 26 adults in basic education classes show that the procedure is easily applied and effective.
