Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of three posttraining strategies for facilitating transfer of training: (1) assigned goal setting, (2) participative goal setting, and (3) a behavioral self-management approach based on the relapse-prevention model. Results showed that both the assigned and participative goal setting conditions were superior to behavioral self-management and control conditions in inducing maintenance of behavioral change over a two-month period. The implications of these findings for training and future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
