Abstract
The efficacy of social skills training (SST) for high school students was evaluated. In Study 1, we developed a scale for assessing social skills of high school students and examined the reliability and validity of this scale. First, we identified 18 items with reference to previous studies and conducted a questionnaire survey with high school students. Then, we developed a scale consisting of two factors and 14 items using factor analysis. The reliability of the scale was examined by examining its internal consistency and retest. The validity of the scale was tested in relation to RASHD. In Study 2, we developed a SST program consisting of six sessions and evaluated its efficacy. SST was conducted by teachers for first-grade students and the scale developed in Study 1 was used for both pre- and post-test assessments. Results indicated that SST was effective to a certain degree. We have discussed SST process evaluation methods.
