Discusses some methodological, clinical, and theoretical issues in the use of self-observation raised in an experiment by RM McFall (see PA, Vol. 45: Issue 3). The difficulties in ascertaining reliability of self-reports for events which have no external referents and the reactivity of self-monitoring limit the utility of self-observation as a control procedure in evaluating behavior therapy techniques. In clinical application, self-monitoring has been noted to modify behavior, but its controlling variables have not yet been explored. Self-observation is an initial step in self-directed behavior change. Therefore, its consideration is also required for conceptualization of self-regulatory processes, viewed as integration of response feedback utilization, self-control, and self-reinforcement, to attain self or externally prescribed performance standards.(42 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
