Thirty-nine children with a diagnosed pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) participated in homogeneous psychotherapy groups. Their social development was assessed at home and at school both before and after treatment. Significant improvements in social functioning were observed in both settings, and these gains were not attributable to demographic variables or cognitive development. This research provides psychometric validation for the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS; Sparrow, Balla, & Cicchetti, 1984) and the Tyminski Social Skills Checklist (SSC), a new index designed to assess children's social functioning in educational settings. The results suggest that group therapy may be an important modality for better understanding and developing crucial social skills among the growing number of children diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder.
39名被诊断患有广泛性发育障碍（PDD）的儿童参加了同质性心理治疗小组。在治疗前后，分别在家中和学校对他们的社交发展进行了评估。在这两种环境中均观察到社交功能有显著改善，且这些改善并非归因于人口统计学变量或认知发展。本研究为文兰适应行为量表（VABS；斯帕罗、巴拉和奇切蒂，1984年）以及廷明斯基社交技能清单（SSC，一个旨在评估儿童在教育环境中社交功能的新指标）提供了心理测量学验证。结果表明，团体治疗可能是一种重要的方式，有助于更好地理解和培养越来越多被诊断患有广泛性发育障碍的儿童的关键社交技能。
