Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Persuasion Strategies

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

The self-advocacy program (SAP) improved college students with disabilities' confidence in workplace accommodations. Further research is needed to enhance self-advocacy and self-determination skills.

Background:

Students with disabilities (SWDs) experience educational and employment disparities.
Limited interventions exist to develop self-advocacy skills in academic and professional settings.
Self-advocacy is crucial for SWDs to navigate educational and employment environments successfully.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and evaluate a 6-week self-advocacy program (SAP) for college SWDs.
To incorporate solution-focused brief therapy techniques into the SAP.
To assess the feasibility, fidelity, acceptability, and preliminary impact of the SAP.

Main Methods:

Pilot randomized controlled trial with 28 college SWDs.
Process evaluation (feasibility, fidelity, acceptability).

Outcome evaluation comparing SAP group to a waitlist control group.

Main Results:

The SAP was feasible, implemented as planned, and well-received by SWDs.
SWDs in the SAP group showed increased confidence in disclosing disabilities and requesting workplace accommodations.
No significant differences were found between groups in overall self-advocacy or self-determination.

Conclusions:

The SAP demonstrates potential benefits for SWDs, particularly in confidence regarding workplace accommodations.
Findings inform future implementations of SAP or similar self-advocacy interventions for college students with disabilities.
Further refinement of the program may be necessary to enhance broader self-advocacy and self-determination skills.
