Social skills training in adult psychiatric populations: A meta-analysis
Abstract
A meta-analysis was conducted on 73 studies of social skills training in four adult psychiatric populations: developmentally disabled, psychotic, nonpsychotic, and legal offenders. Findings from this analysis showed that patients participating in social skills training programs broadened their repertoire of skills, continued to demonstrate these skills several months after treatment, and showed diminished psychiatric symptoms related to social dysfunctions. Although results from an ANCOVA comparing effect sizes across the four populations (with design quality as a covariate) were nonsignificant, consistent trends suggested that social skills training had the greatest effect on developmentally disabled groups and the least effect on offender groups. In addition, social skills training was found to be relatively more effective in outpatient than inpatient settings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
