Conducted 2 studies, each of which achieved personality change with both audiovisual self-confrontation and supportive, nondirective interviews. Exp I, with 21 undergraduates, increased Eriksonian identity achievement. Exp II, with 100 undergraduates, changed a variable that moderated effects in Exp I: S. Tomkin's humanistic vs normative orientation. Exp II also suggests that differences between interviews with and without audiovisual self-confrontation afterwards are less important than Ss' orientation toward using information generated in either case. Given a humanistic orientation, however, the special information generated by audiovisual self-confrontation apparently becomes less ambiguous and more meaningful.
