摘要:

AbstractParents of 21 autistic children and of 21 children with other handicaps, matched for sex, age, IQ and father's occupation, were interviewed with a schedule known to discriminate between schizoid and non‐schizoid people. Ratings were reliable and the interviewers remained “blind”. Parents of autistic children, especially fathers, were significantly more often rated as having schizoid traits. They were also more intelle

摘要:

AbstractTwo male children meeting criteria for Childhood Onset Pervasive Developmental Disorder (COPDD) are described. The current DSM‐III category of COPDD may have value in separating these children from others with PDD. The authors suggest that these two children, and other children described in the literature as having dementia infantalis and/or disintegrative psychosis, have a distintegrative disorder resulting in muteness, profound mental retardation and severe autistic symptomatology. The term “pervasive disintegrative disorder” may be appropriate for such children and specific diagnostic criteria are suggested. The disorder appears to be extremely rare, with a prevalence estimate of 0.11 per 1

摘要:

AbstractConners' Teacher's Rating Scale (CTRS) was applied to 914 children, a representative sample of the total population of normal primary school children (age 6–12) in Hong Kong. Both interrater and test‐retest reliability were satisfactory. On all the subscales, the scores lay on the high side when compared to results of western countries. When factor analysis was carried out, the main difference from other studies was that the conduct problem factor and hyperactivity factor were combined. There was a very significant sex effect with boys having much higher total and subscales scores of conduct problem, inattention and hyperactivity whereas the girls were rated significantly higher on the subscales of anxiety‐te

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined parent‐child correspondence in assessing characteristics and correlates of the child's firesetting. Two‐hundred and ninety‐seven families (164 outpatients and 133 inpatients) were independently interviewed using questions modified from the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School‐age Children. Parent‐child correspondence for the presence or absence of individual behaviors and firesetting correlates was generally moderate‐to‐high for both samples, with outpatient families showing higher parent‐child agreement in classifying the child's firesetting status. Few differences in correspondence due to child age or sex were found. The results are discussed in terms of the clinical assessment of firesetting and other antisocial behaviors and the role of child reports in case

摘要:

AbstractThe outcome of day‐care versus inpatient surgery for two equivalent groups of children is examined. Ratings were made of medical outcome, behaviour change in the children at 1 week and 3 mths post‐discharge from a pre‐admission criterion, convenience and subjective anxiety for parents, and relative costs of the two procedures.Results showed trends in favour of the day‐care procedure. Argument is made that day‐care should be the preferred option for minor surgery in young

摘要:

AbstractThe Children's Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (CHIPASAT) was developed to assess the capacity and rate of information processing in children. This basic aspect of attention underlies many abilities, and is impaired following head injury in adults. Similar impairment may occur in children after head injury or other CNS dysfunction.A sample (N= 315) of normal school children was assessed with the CHIPASAT to establish normative data, and relationships between age, arithmetic ability, general intellectual (g) ability and information processing capacity. The results suggest that the age and, to a lesser extent, the arithmetic ability of a child have a significant influence on information processing capacity. The children's general intellectual ability (g) and sex were unrelated to CHIPASAT performance.

摘要:

AbstractTemperament and behavioural adjustment were assessed in 26 hearing impaired pre‐school children. By comparison with normally hearing children the clinical group was rated by their mothers as having a more difficult temperament, but no greater level of behaviour problems. Teachers of these children rated them as less well adjusted overall and specifically, more anxious compared with a normative group. Mothers of hearing impaired children showed elevated levels of anxiety, depression and overall problem scores on the General Health Questionnaire and the latter variable was the best predictor of rated behaviour problems in their children. Teacher rating of behaviour problems was best predicted by their rating of the child's temperament. Greater support for mothers of hearing impaired children is suggested as important in preventing behavioural maladjustment in this handicapped grou
