Abstract Details

2015, Specialist in Education, Miami University, Educational Psychology.
This exploratory study aimed to understand how students generalize social skills content they learn in a small group setting to the general classroom using an adapted model of the Incredible Years (IY) program (Webster Stratton, 1984). It was predicted that students would demonstrate growth in a “stepping stone” pattern, showing growth in content knowledge and in group behavior before showing global change in the classroom. Additionally, the study attempted to explore the efficacy and usefulness of two assessment instruments that are components of the IY program, as there is little research attesting to their reliability and validity to measure growth under the IY program. Results indicate that although the IY program demonstrates positive pre to post intervention growth, generalization from the group to the classroom does not follow the linear path as hypothesized. Limitations of this study, as well as implications for future research and practice, are discussed.
