Maternal directiveness is portrayed as a negative interactional phenomenon in the mental retardation literature. Based on the speculation that a directive interactional style is causally related to poor developmental outcomes, the reduction of maternal directive behaviour is becoming a major thrust in early intervention work. This paper questions the characterization of directiveness as an inherently negative interactional phenomenon and highlights limitations in our current understanding of directiveness. Critical issues requiring attention in future research are identified and early interventionists cautioned that management of maternal directive behaviour must be founded on sound, empirically validated principles.
在智力障碍文献中，母亲的指令性被描述为一种消极的互动现象。基于指令性互动风格与不良发育结果存在因果关系的推测，减少母亲的指令性行为正成为早期干预工作的一项主要内容。本文对将指令性视为一种本质上消极的互动现象的特征描述提出质疑，并强调了我们目前对指令性理解的局限性。文中指出了未来研究中需要关注的关键问题，并告诫早期干预人员，对母亲指令性行为的管理必须基于可靠的、经实证验证的原则。
