Eight adolescent inpatients were assigned to two groups equated as much as possible by matching the subjects for age, sex, and diagnosis. The experimental group viewed an individual self-paced computer program on values clarification, and the control group attended a single group therapy session covering identical content. Pretesting and posttesting was done using the Tennessee Self-concept Scale and the Internal-External Control Scale. No significant differences were found using these tests as measures of effectiveness, but on the post-treatment attitude survey, subjects in the computer group reported greater perceived effectiveness than those in the control group. The computer program was well accepted and not related to prior exposure to computers. Subjects completed the computer program in less than half the time required to present the material in the therapy group.
