This report presents termination and follow-up evaluations of a parent training program based on behavior modification principles. Treatment termination outcome data were obtained for 22 families, and follow-up data were collected on 14 of these families 3 and 8 months after treatment. Results indicated a fairly high level of success at termination on the basis of parent-collected observational data, parent attitude change toward the children, and parent attitude concerning the process and outcome of treatment. Modest levels of success were evidenced on the basis of behavioral data recorded by trained observers in the home. Families who participated in follow-up demonstrated greater cooperation and involvement with the treatment program than those who did not participate. In all other respects, however, these two groups were similar. Follow-up data on parent attitude measures demonstrated maintenance of the treatment effects. Parent observational data were incomplete, but also showed maintenance in follow-up. For the subsample of 14 cases, home observation records indicated a nonsignificant decline in deviant behavior at termination followed by a nonsignificant increase in deviant behavior during follow-up. The meaning and implications of these discrepant findings were discussed and compared with results from other laboratories.
本报告介绍了一项基于行为矫正原则的家长培训项目的终止和随访评估。获取了22个家庭的治疗终止结果数据，并在治疗后3个月和8个月对其中14个家庭收集了随访数据。结果表明，根据家长收集的观察数据、家长对孩子态度的变化以及家长对治疗过程和结果的态度，治疗终止时成功率相当高。根据在家中由训练有素的观察员记录的行为数据，显示出一定程度的成功。参与随访的家庭比未参与的家庭对治疗项目表现出更大的合作性和参与度。然而，在所有其他方面，这两组家庭相似。关于家长态度测量的随访数据表明治疗效果得以维持。家长观察数据不完整，但在随访中也显示出维持情况。对于14例的子样本，家庭观察记录表明，终止时偏差行为有不显著下降，随后在随访期间偏差行为有不显著增加。讨论了这些不一致发现的意义和影响，并与其他实验室的结果进行了比较。
