SELF-CONFRONTATION FOR COMPLEX SKILL TRAINING; REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

Abstract

A review of the literature on self-confrontation and related phenomena was conducted to investigate the feasibility of their use as training techniques. The phenomenon of self-confrontation is the feedback of an individual's performance in a given situation through the use of videotape or sound motion picture film. This technique provides complete feedback of information and generates a situation in which subjects are quite amenable to modifications of their behavior, both verbal and nonverbal, with respect to given standards. The body of technical literature dealing with self- confrontation is small but complete enough to provide a basis for discussion of the phenomenon as a training technique. The analysis of the literature resulted in the recommendation for a research program to explore self-confrontation as a training technique for complex human skills.
