The purpose of the present study was to compare a clinic-referred sample of developmentally delayed children to two groups of children who were not delayed: a clinic-referred sample and a nonclinic sample. Multiple outcome measures, including home observations of mother-child interactions, parental perceptions of child adjustment, and parental measures of depression and marital adjustment, were utilized. The results indicated that the delayed sample differed from the two nondelayed samples primarily in terms of emitting more maternal behavior, particularly the number of commands issued. A lower rate of compliance to total maternal commands also occurred for the delayed group. Finally, the clinic-referred delayed sample differed from the nonclinic non-delayed sample by perceiving their children as less well-adjusted. Implications of the results are discussed.
一组是临床转介样本，另一组是非临床样本。采用了多种结果测量方法，包括对母婴互动的家庭观察、父母对孩子适应情况的认知，以及父母的抑郁和婚姻适应测量。结果表明，发育迟缓样本与两个未发育迟缓样本的主要差异在于，前者表现出更多的母亲行为，尤其是发出的指令数量。发育迟缓组对母亲总指令的服从率也较低。最后，临床转介的发育迟缓样本与非临床未发育迟缓样本的差异在于，前者认为自己的孩子适应能力较差。文中讨论了这些结果的意义。
