Mothers of 40 very severely head injured male subjects rated their son's behaviour on the Current Behaviour Scale and their ratings were compared with mothers' ratings of 40 control male subjects. The scale was able to discriminate the two groups, by utilising two factors--loss of emotional control and loss of motivation. The mothers' level of emotional distress was closely related to their reporting of loss of emotional control in their sons, but reporting of loss of motivation, or lowered arousal, was strongly predicted by the functional disability of the son. The utility of refining the measurement of post-trauma behaviour is discussed.
40名头部受重伤的男性受试者的母亲,根据“当前行为量表”对儿子的行为进行评分,并将她们的评分与40名对照男性受试者母亲的评分进行比较。该量表通过利用两个因素——情绪控制丧失和动机丧失,能够区分这两组。母亲的情绪困扰程度与她们所报告的儿子情绪控制丧失密切相关,但儿子的功能残疾强烈预示着母亲报告的动机丧失或唤醒水平降低。文中讨论了完善创伤后行为测量方法的实用性。
