A sample of 15 families referred for child behavior problems were randomly assigned to a group condition (parent training plus group behavior therapy, n = 7), and an individual condition (individual family behavior therapy, n = 8). These children manifested primarily home problems of non-compliance, tantrums and fighting behaviors. Results showed the group condition was more efficient in terms of therapist time and number of subject-families achieving an experimental criterion for behavior change. The group condition scored significantly higher than the individual condition on a post-test measuring knowledge of behavioral principles as applied to children. Most subjects, regardless of treatment condition, rated non-targeted behaviors as decreasing in frequency. Also, both groups were equally satisfied with therapy. Families were contacted 6 months following the conclusion of treatment.
15个因孩子行为问题前来咨询的家庭样本被随机分配到两种治疗条件下：一组接受团体治疗（家长培训加团体行为治疗，n = 7），另一组接受个体治疗（个体家庭行为治疗，n = 8）。这些孩子主要表现出在家不服从、发脾气和打架等问题。结果显示，在治疗师时间和达到行为改变实验标准的受试家庭数量方面，团体治疗条件更有效。在一项衡量应用于儿童的行为原则知识的后测中，团体治疗条件的得分显著高于个体治疗条件。大多数受试者，无论治疗条件如何，都认为非目标行为的频率在下降。此外，两组对治疗的满意度相同。治疗结束6个月后，研究人员联系了这些家庭。
