We evaluated the reliability and validity of the Dyadic Observed Communication Scale (DOCS) coding scheme, which was developed to capture a range of communication components between parents and adolescents. Adolescents and their caregivers were recruited from mental health facilities for participation in a large, multi-site family-based HIV prevention intervention study. Seventy-one dyads were randomly selected from the larger study sample and coded using the DOCS at baseline. Preliminary validity and reliability of the DOCS was examined using various methods, such as comparing results to self-report measures and examining interrater reliability. Results suggest that the DOCS is a reliable and valid measure of observed communication among parent-adolescent dyads that captures both verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors that are typical intervention targets. The DOCS is a viable coding scheme for use by researchers and clinicians examining parent-adolescent communication. Coders can be trained to reliably capture individual and dyadic components of communication for parents and adolescents and this complex information can be obtained relatively quickly.
我们评估了二元观察沟通量表（DOCS）编码方案的信度和效度，该方案旨在捕捉父母与青少年之间一系列的沟通要素。青少年及其照顾者从心理健康机构招募而来，参与一项大型、多地点的基于家庭的艾滋病毒预防干预研究。从更大的研究样本中随机选取71对亲子，并在基线时使用DOCS进行编码。使用多种方法检验了DOCS的初步效度和信度，比如将结果与自我报告测量进行比较以及检验评分者间信度。结果表明，DOCS是一种可靠且有效的测量亲子二元组间观察到的沟通的方法，它能捕捉到言语和非言语沟通行为，而这些行为是典型的干预目标。DOCS是研究人员和临床医生用于检查亲子沟通的一种可行的编码方案。编码人员可以接受培训，以可靠地捕捉父母与青少年沟通的个体和二元要素，并且可以相对快速地获取这些复杂信息。
