This study was designed to determine whether viewing and discussing five movies, each depicting a different pattern of supervisory behavior, would enable maladjusted students to react more favorably to supervision. Patterns of behavior were: (1) consideration of employees, (2) structuring expectations, (3) tolerance of freedom of action, (4) production emphasis, and (5) representation of the interests of the group. Small groups composed equally of well-adjusted and poorly-adjusted high school students viewed the movies and then engaged in free discussion without any attempt by researchers to influence student attitudes towards the supervisory role being discussed. Approximately 8 weeks after discussing the movies, the students were rated again by the teachers on adjustment to supervision. Poorly-adjusted boys in the experimental group gained more in ratings of adjustment to supervision than did poorly-adjusted control groups that did not see the movie. Teachers tended to adjust their second ratings downward, however the experimental groups lost less than the control groups. The results for all groups, except well adjusted girls, favored the experimental groups that saw and discussed the movies. It was recommended that the movies be used further in training and research.
