Description
Summary:The present study was an evaluation of the effectiveness of a combined behavioral-reflective parent-training program with high school seniors. Twenty-four high school seniors were randomly assigned to either a nineweek parent-training course or a waiting list control group. Lectures, films, class discussions, role-playing exercises and examinations were used to teach concepts of behavioral and reflective child rearing. Analysis of achievement tests and written and role-played analogue assessment measures indicated that the parent-training course produced significant increments in behavioral and reflective parenting skills. The results were discussed in the context of teenager's developmental readiness to cope with the tasks of parenthood.
