Abstract

The separate and combined effects of videotape feedback and focused instructions were examined in an analog study consisting of four experimental single case designs. The results indicate that videotape feedback in the absence of instructions effected a slight increase in nonverbal interactions of married couples. Focused instructions led to marked changes in the target behavior of looking. A combination of videotape feedback and focused instructions was not significantly more potent than instructions alone. However, the combined design led to an increase in the related behavior of smiling.
