The purpose of this paper is to describe the features of the Interaction Rating Scale (IRS) as an evidence-based practical index of children's social skills and parenting.
The participants in our study, which was conducted as part of a Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) project, were 370 dyads of children (aged 18, 30, and 42 month) and 81 dyads of 7-year-old children with their caregivers. The participants completed the five minute interaction session and were observed using the IRS.
The results indicated that the IRS can measure children's social skill development and parenting with high validity. Along with the discriminate validity for pervasive development disorder (PDD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), abuse and maltreatment, a high correlation with the SDQ (Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire), and high reliability, the IRS is effective in describing features of social skill development.
The IRS provides further evidence of the fact that in order to study children's social skill development, it is important to evaluate various features of the caregiver-child interaction as a predictor of social skills.
本文旨在描述互动评分量表(IRS)作为儿童社交技能和养育行为的循证实践指标的特点。
我们的研究参与者是来自日本科学技术振兴机构(JST)项目的 370 对 18、30 和 42 个月大的儿童及其照顾者,以及 81 对 7 岁儿童及其照顾者。参与者完成了五分钟的互动环节,并使用 IRS 进行观察。
结果表明,IRS 可以高度有效地测量儿童的社交技能发展和养育行为。IRS 具有普遍发育障碍(PDD)、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)、虐待的判别有效性,与 SDQ(长处和困难问卷)高度相关,以及高度的可靠性,IRS 有效地描述了社交技能发展的特点。
IRS 进一步证明了这样一个事实,即要研究儿童的社交技能发展,评估照顾者-儿童互动的各个方面作为社交技能的预测因素是很重要的。
