N2 - Cognitive, behavioral, and combined assertiveness treatments for dysfunctional job-interviewing skills were evaluated in a design that included high-demand and waiting list control treatments as well. Cognitive, behavioral, generalization, and control measures were used to determine the construct validity of hypothesized improvements. The cognitive treatment had no impact on any outcome variable. Some evidence to favor the behavioral treatment appeared on the cognitive assessment battery. However, given the failure of the behavioral treatment to register parallel changes on the behavioral battery, these cognitive improvements are not clearly attributable to behavioral theory.
