This study was conducted to show the effect of observing active academic models on the subjects’ academic performance. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) observing active academic models enhances the subjects’ academic performance. (2) observing three active academic models enhances the academic performance to a greater extent than observing just one model. The sample consisted of 102 subjects, selected randomly and assigned randomly to three comparison groups. The first group watched a film of one same-age active model. The second group watched a film of three same-age active academic models, and the third, or the control group, was not exposed to any film. The preformance index consisted of the difference between the subjects’ pre-test and post-test scores on an exercise task of difficult words and a dictation exam. Data were also gathered concerning the subjects’ socio-economic status. Analysis of variance and multiple comparison methods were used to test the hypotheses. The results confirmed our first hypothesis, but not the second one. The socio-economic status did not show either a main effect or an interaction effect on subjects’ academic performance.
