| Abstract: |
Research has shown that prosocial behavior can be encouraged in an educational setting through social reinforcement and appropriate role modeling. To test the combined effect of media presentations and teacher behavior to promote cooperative behavior in preschool students, 34 children were divided into four groups, each of which was given one of four different treatments. Each group viewed three videotapes which encouraged cooperation, and three of the groups were subsequently subjected to varying degrees of teacher sanctions which reinforced the content of the films. Each group was pre- and posttested for cooperative behavior. The unexpectedly small final sample prohibited any confident conclusions. Tabular data and suggestions for improved research design are included. (EMH) |
