“…Among college students, approximately 20% suffer from anxiety concerning interaction with other people (Arkowitz, Hinton, Perl, & Himadi, 1978;McCroskey, 1977). Leary and Kowalski (1995) hypothesized that social skills deficits are antecedents to the experience of social anxiety.…”

“…These problems were selected because poor social skills figure prominently in each (e.g., Curran, 1977;Youngren & Lewinsohn, 1980), and each are especially common and problematic in the lives of young adults (e.g., Arkowitz, Hinton, Perl, & Himadi, 1978;Myers et al, 1984;Roscoe & Skomski, 1989). Additionally, this study will not only examine the direct association between social skills and these psychosocial problems, it will more prominently consider the effects of good and poor social skills in concert with stressful events, to predict the development or worsening of psychosocial problems.…”

This 2-wave panel study sought to test a social skills deficit vulnerability model of psychosocial problems. According to this model, poor social skills are thought to make people vulnerable to psychosocial problems pursuant to the experience of stressful life events. This model was tested in a sample of 118 students who were moving at least 200 miles away from their home town and making the transition to their first semester of college. At the end of their high school career, participants completed measures of social skills and the following psychosocial problems: depression, loneliness, and social anxiety. Toward the end of their first semester of college, they again completed measures of the psychosocial problems and a measure of stressful life events. Results indicated that lower social skills scores at T1 were predictive of a worsening of psychosocial problems over the course of the study. Furthermore, social skills interacted with stressful life events to predict changes in depression and loneliness. In each case, those with lower social skills at T1 appeared more vulnerable to the development of psychosocial problems by T2 than those with better social skills at T1.

“…Los primeros trabajos en este campo -en su mayoría-están centrados en las conductas agresivas en jóvenes en ámbitos hospitalarios o residenciales, y su objetivo principal es la intervención en habilidades asertivas (Arkowitz, Hinton, Perl y Himadi, 1978;Bradlyn et al, 1983). Posteriormente, se empezó a incursionar en otras potenciales poblaciones objeto de estudio, como por ejemplo, prevención de la violencia (Meyer y Farrell, 1998); personas con problemas emocionales (Schloss, Schloss y Harris, 1984;Plienis et al, 1987); ansiedad heterosocial (Arkowitz et al, 1978;Schinke, Blythe y Gilchrist, 1981;Conger y Conger, 1982); abuso de sustancias (Englander-Golden, Elconin y Satir, 1986;Gilchrist, Schinke, Trimble y Cvetkovich, 1987) y discapacidades físicas o de desarrollo (Lemanek, Williamson, Gresham y Jensen, 1986). …”

<p>Introducción: las habilidades sociales son importantes para la adaptación de los individuos a los diferentes contextos sociales. Para los adolescentes puede ser difícil establecer y mantener interacciones sociales competentes debido a los cambios producto de su desarrollo. Objetivo: analizar los efectos comportamentales de un programa de habilidades sociales en jóvenes de 14 a 18 años en situación de vulnerabilidad, de la Fundación Club Campestre de Bucaramanga. Metodología: para la medición de las habilidades sociales, se utilizó la Escala de Habilidades Sociales (EHS), creada en el 2000 por Elena Gismero en la Universidad Pontificia de Madrid. Se trata de un cuestionario compuesto por 33 ítems que exploran la conducta habitual del sujeto en situaciones concretas y valora hasta qué punto las habilidades sociales modulan estas actitudes. Participaron 50 jóvenes pertenecientes a la Fundación Club Campestre, los cuales se dividieron en dos grupos: experimental y control. La metodología de trabajo fue una aplicación de pruebas pre-test para la medición de la habilidades, se continuó con la aplicación del programa y se finalizó con la aplicación del pos-test para el análisis de los resultados. Resultados: el programa generó efectos comportamentales en los jóvenes, es decir, conductas socialmente habilidosas y el reforzamiento de su repertorio de habilidades sociales, presentando mejora en la convivencia en su contexto social, menos respuestas agresivas y más esquemas de respuesta asertiva. Conclusión: los resultados sugieren que los programas de habilidades sociales son herramientas útiles para la intervención de jóvenes con dificultades en el desarrollo de estas.</p>

“…Over 30% of college men and women report that heterosocial anxiety is a signifi cant dating problem (Arkowitz, Hinton, Perl, & Himadi, 1978). Given the high prevalence of heterosocial anxiety in the adolescent population, it seems likely that anxiety plays a role in the development of sexual-interaction problems.…”

Researchers have begun to employ social-skills training in efforts to change the sexual behavior of adolescents. However, despite the promise of social-skills training, little is known about how social skills are related to the sexual practices of adolescents. The present article reviews the current literature and proposes a conceptual framework for understanding the relations between social skills and sexual behavior of adolescents by (a) examining the relationship between sexual activity and social skills, (b) examining the development of sexual-interaction skills and deficits, (c) summarizing what is currently known about the relations between social skills and sexual behavior, (d) discussing current issues in the assessment and treatment of sexual-interaction skills deficits, and (e) proposing some directions for needed research that will add both to our current knowledge base and to the effectiveness of applied intervention efforts.
