A Meta-Analytic Review of Behavior Modeling Training
Taylor, Paul J.; Russ-Eft, Darlene F.; Chan, Daniel W. L.
Journal of Applied Psychology, v90 n4 p692-709 Jul 2005
A meta-analysis of 117 studies evaluated the effects of behavior modeling training (BMT) on 6 training outcomes, across characteristics of training design. BMT effects were largest for learning outcomes, smaller for job behavior, and smaller still for results outcomes. Although BMT effects on declarative knowledge decayed over time, training effects on skills and job behavior remained stable or even increased. Skill development was greatest when learning points were used and presented as rule codes and when training time was longest. Transfer was greatest when mixed (negative and positive) models were presented, when practice included trainee-generated scenarios, when trainees were instructed to set goals, when trainees' superiors were also trained, and when rewards and sanctions were instituted in trainees' work environments. (Contains 4 footnotes and 11 tables.)
