A study focused on insensitivity of adults to children was presented and discussed. The responses of 100 male and 100 female college undergraduates to hypothetical parent-child problem situations indicated a general lack of communication concerning the child's and their own feelings. However, when the problems involved adult needs being aroused and thwarted, theSs' responses were both more insensitive and destructive than when the confrontation centered around only the child's aroused needs. In the latter case theSs did focus their communications more on the child's feelings and how he or she could express them. The results have implications for understanding effective adult behavior and reciprocal adult-child influences on the development of child-behavior dysfunctions.
一项针对成年人对儿童不敏感的研究进行了介绍和讨论。100 名男性和 100 名女性大学生对假设的亲子问题情境的反应表明，他们普遍缺乏关于孩子和自己感受的沟通。然而，当问题涉及到成人需求的激发和受挫时，被试的反应不仅不敏感，而且具有破坏性，比问题只集中在孩子的激发需求时更甚。在后一种情况下，被试确实更关注孩子的感受以及他或她如何表达这些感受。研究结果对理解有效的成人行为和成人与儿童的相互影响，以及儿童行为障碍的发展具有重要意义。
