Using a case description methodology, this study examined the effects of behavior problem severity, intervention type, and subject race on mothers' acceptability ratings of five interventions used to treat childhood depression. Results indicated that (a) all psychological (behavioral or cognitive-behavioral) interventions were rated more acceptable than pharmacological treatment; (b) among the psychological interventions, the social skills intervention was the least preferred; (c) acceptability of treatments varied as a function of subject race; and (d) severity of depressive symptoms failed to influence acceptability ratings significantly. Psychometric support was found for a revised measure of acceptability (Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile; AARP) developed in the context of the present study. Implications of the findings for consultation are discussed.
本研究采用案例描述法，考察了行为问题严重程度、干预类型和受试者种族对用于治疗儿童抑郁症的五种干预措施在母亲接受度评分上的影响。结果表明：（a）所有心理（行为或认知行为）干预措施的评分均比药物治疗更易被接受；（b）在心理干预措施中，社交技能干预是最不受青睐的；（c）治疗的可接受性因受试者种族而异；（d）抑郁症状的严重程度并未对接受度评分产生显著影响。本研究还为在当前研究背景下开发的一种修订后的可接受性测量方法（简式可接受性评分量表；AARP）提供了心理测量学支持。文中讨论了这些研究结果对咨询工作的启示。
