Abstract
The current study investigated the effects of a behavior skills training on listening behaviors of adults in romantic relationships. Participants’ partners selected desired criteria ranges for six potential behaviors to target through pretest surveys, video questionnaires, and verbal report. The researcher then selected three behaviors to target (e.g., minimal encouragers, supportive statements, and paraphrasing) and used a behavior skills training to train those behaviors to the desired amount. The results showed that the training was effective for four participant couples in increasing effective listening behaviors in their relationships. Participants’ performances generally maintained at criterion during confederate probes and partner probes after the skills training with the researcher.
