The contribution of lecture supplements to the effectiveness of an attitudinal film

Abstract

To evaluate the effect on expressed attitudes toward discipline of lecture supplements to a film, 3 comparable lectures designed to point out significant film sequences were developed, for use before the film, after the film, or part before and part after the film. Mean scores on an attitude scale for 3 film groups were compared with the mean score of a film-only control group. There were no significant differences attributable to lecture placement among the 3 film groups, but the film-plus-lecture groups were generally more favorable in attitude toward military discipline than the film-only group.
