THE EFFECTS OF MODEL REINFORCEMENT ON ADOLESCENT BOYS

547

Therefore, while this study did not demonstrate gross behavioral model effects,
it is clear that the behavior of the model, at least in the RM group, was influencing
the behavior of the Ss.

SUMMARY
This study attempted to evaluate the susceptibility of emotionally disturbed
adolescent males to modeling effects. While no gross behavioral modeling was
demonstrated, a disinhibitory effect on response latency was observed that suggested the importance of more subtle modeling effects than had been previously
considered.

When we arrived in Zurich, 1 made 8 d to the
Jungian Institute and found that Dr. Jung was
not really connected with this eatabhhment.

evoked a loud Enter. The room turned out to
