EFFECTS OF SELF‐EFFICACY AND POST‐TRAINING INTERVENTION ON THE ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE OF COMPLEX INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
研究考察了自我效能和两阶段培训过程对复杂人际技能习得与保持的影响，发现自我效能正向促进初始和延迟表现，且培训后干预方法（目标设定与自我管理）与自我效能交互影响技能保持。
This study examined the effects of self‐efficacy and a two‐stage training process on the acquisition and maintenance (i.e., retention) of complex interpersonal skills. In stage one, all participants received basic training in negotiation skills; behavioral measures of negotiation performance were taken following this training. During stage two, alternative post‐training interventions (goal setting and self‐management) were offered to facilitate skill maintenance. Six weeks later, behavioral measures of performance were repeated. Results indicated that pre‐test self‐efficacy contributed positively to both initial and delayed performance. While training condition contributed to skill maintenance, self‐efficacy also interacted with post‐training method to influence delayed performance. Specifically, self‐management training attenuated the self‐efficacy performance relationship, while goal‐setting training accentuated performance differences between high and low self‐efficacy trainees. Implications of these findings are discussed for researchers and practitioners concerned with interpersonal skills training.
