This study aims to investigate systematically the effects of video-tape self-modeling on kindergartener's de-attending behavior systematically. The hypotheses set up in experiment were as follows.
Hypothesis 1 De-attending behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison to baseline performances.
Hypothesis 1-1 Body-moving behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison th baseline performances.
Hypothesis 1-2 Out-of eys contact behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison to baseline performances.
Hypothesis 2 De-attending behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison to those of appropriate peer-behaviors.
Hypothesis 2-1 Body-moving behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison to those of appropriate peer-behaviors.
Hypothesis 2-2 Out-of eye contact behaviors of kindergarteners watching appropriate self-behaviors decrease in comparison to those of appropriate peer-behaviors.
The 4 subjrvyd selected were those indentified highly de-attending by class teachers' judgments & results of Revised Walker Problem Behavior checklist. Other relevant personal informations were gathered through tests and questionnaires. The designs of experiments were A-B-A-C-A-A(baseline-treatment-withdrawl-treatment 2-withdrawal 2-follow up) with a single subject. Video-tape self-modeling treatments were counterbalanced to each subject.
The final conclusions of both experiments are as follows :
First, kindergartener's self-modeling through video-tapes decreased out-of eye contact behaviors & body-moving behaviors.
Second, kindergartener's self-modeling through video-tapes were some more effective than peer-modeling. Its effectiveness seemed to depend upon personal characteristics such as familiarity, friendliness and attentiveness to on-screen behaviors.
