The present experiment was designed to investigate differences in the perception of social behavior between parents of normal and problem children and to relate these differences to behavior observed in the home environment. Subjects were brought into the laboratory and asked to identify positive and negative behaviors on a written script portraying family interactions. Correct and incorrect responses were analyzed using signal detection procedures to produce measures of sensitivity and response bias for positive and negative behaviors. These analyses revealed that parents of normal children were better able to discriminate positive behavior than were parents of problem children. Correlations between these responses and data obtained for a subset of the subjects from 1-hour home observations, using a newly developed home observational coding system, revealed a number of relationships between these sets of variables.
本实验旨在调查正常儿童和问题儿童的父母在社会行为认知上的差异，并将这些差异与在家庭环境中观察到的行为联系起来。研究对象被带到实验室，要求他们在一份描绘家庭互动的书面脚本中识别积极和消极行为。使用信号检测程序对正确和错误的反应进行分析，以得出积极和消极行为的敏感性和反应偏差的测量值。这些分析表明，正常儿童的父母比问题儿童的父母更能辨别积极行为。使用新开发的家庭观察编码系统，对一部分研究对象进行1小时的家庭观察所获得的数据与这些反应之间的相关性，揭示了这几组变量之间的一些关系。
