This study compared the levels of conceptual responses involved in the processing of two parameters of social cognition in a group of 40 adult patients with closed-head injury (CHI) and a group of 26 normal controls. The two parameters, interpersonal negotiation strategies (INS) and self understanding (self) were examined in the framework of Selman's model of social perspective taking and Damon and Hart's multidimensional model of self understanding. Differences among the components of the INS conflict dilemmas and aspects of self descriptions were observed in a structure interview. Results supported the hypothesis that the CHI group would respond at lower levels on the development measures of social cognition. The results of the present study are in agreement with the conclusions in the initial study. This study also extended the study of social cognition to the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale, in addition to incorporating a control group. These studies support the view that psychosocial adjustment is a multidimensional construct and developmental social cognition methods appear to advance our understanding of this concept in CHI patients.
本研究比较了40名闭合性颅脑损伤(CHI)成年患者和26名正常对照者在处理社会认知的两个参数时所涉及的概念性反应水平。这两个参数,即人际协商策略(INS)和自我理解(self),是在塞尔曼社会观点采择模型以及达蒙和哈特自我理解多维模型的框架内进行考察的。在结构化访谈中观察了INS冲突困境各组成部分以及自我描述各方面之间的差异。结果支持了这样的假设,即CHI组在社会认知发展测量上的反应水平较低。本研究结果与初始研究的结论一致。除纳入了一个对照组外,本研究还将社会认知研究扩展至田纳西自我概念量表和神经行为评定量表。这些研究支持了以下观点,即心理社会调适是一个多维结构,而发展性社会认知方法似乎有助于我们增进对CHI患者这一概念的理解。
