This laboratory investigation assessed situational differences in observed maternal verbal behavior and the report of child behavior problems between groups of low-income Caucasian mothers and their neglected, behavior problem, or nonproblem children. Relative to controls, the interactions of neglect mothers were most negative and controlling during child-directed play. Behavior-problem mothers were most negative and as controlling as neglect mothers during parent-directed play. Both groups reported more difficult child behavior than controls. The results indicate the importance of considering situational variability and mode of analysis (i.e., frequency and/or percentage) when behavior differences between groups are being determined.
这项实验室研究评估了低收入白人母亲及其被忽视、有行为问题或无行为问题的孩子之间，观察到的母亲言语行为以及孩子行为问题报告中的情境差异。与对照组相比，在以孩子为导向的玩耍过程中，忽视型母亲的互动最为消极且具有控制性。在以家长为导向的玩耍过程中，有行为问题的母亲最为消极，且与忽视型母亲一样具有控制性。两组报告的孩子行为问题都比对照组更多。结果表明，在确定组间行为差异时，考虑情境变异性和分析模式（即频率和/或百分比）非常重要。
