This study examined the Parenting the Strong-Willed Child (PSWC) book as a self-directed program for parents of 3- to 6-year-olds. Fifty-two parents were randomly assigned to PSWC or a comparison book, Touchpoints: Three to Six. Assessments occurred at baseline, postintervention (6 weeks after baseline), and 2-month follow-up. The findings indicated both books, but particularly PSWC, were associated with lower levels of child problem behavior after intervention. PSWC was associated with greater decreases in child problem behaviors on certain measures when amount of reading completed was taken into account. Parents reading PSWC reported that they were satisfied with the book and found the book useful and easy to implement. The findings are discussed in the contexts of both the percentage of parents who read the PSWC book and the cost-effectiveness of a self-directed intervention.
本研究考察了《强势孩子的养育方法》（PSWC）一书，该书是为 3 至 6 岁儿童的家长提供的一种自我指导计划。52 名家长被随机分配到 PSWC 或对照书籍《接触点：3 至 6 岁》组。评估在基线、干预后（基线后 6 周）和 2 个月随访时进行。研究结果表明，两本书都可以，特别是 PSWC，与干预后儿童问题行为的减少有关。当考虑到完成阅读的数量时，PSWC 与某些措施上儿童问题行为的更大减少有关。阅读 PSWC 的家长报告说，他们对这本书感到满意，并且认为这本书有用且易于实施。研究结果从阅读 PSWC 书的家长比例和自我指导干预的成本效益两个方面进行了讨论。
