Answer to Question 1

Advantages of group behavioral skills training are:
 It can be more efficient than individual behavioral skills training, because instructions and modeling are presented to the whole group.
 Each group member learns by watching other group members rehearse the skills and receive feedback on their performance.
 Group members learn by evaluating the performance of other group members and providing feedback.
 With a variety of group members participating in role-plays, generalization may be enhanced.
 The magnitude of reinforcement for successful rehearsal is increased when praise comes from other group members as well as the trainer.
Disadvantages are:
 Each individual does not have the trainer's undivided attention.
 Some members may not actively participate or may dominate and limit the participation of other members.
