摘要:

AbstractA longitudinal study has followed two‐parent families and their first‐born child. The families were chosen so that there were three groups of dual‐earner families using relatives, childminders and nurseries for day care and one group of single‐earner families. At 18 mths of age children in the study were observed in the four types of childcare setting. The data from the detailed observations were used to compare the children's interactional experience. The results indicate marked variation in the quality of children's experiences between different childcare settings. Possible reasons for such variation are di

摘要:

AbstractIn a longitudinal study of women and their first–born children the relationship between type of day care experience and cognitive and language development at 18 mths of age was considered. There was a strong association between socio–economic characteristics and type of day care and analyses allowed for this. The results for cognitive development indicate a relationship with mother's education but not with type of day care. For language development the results indicate that children who experience group care were less likely to show much production of different word combinations, but that this was related to the children's language environme

摘要:

AbstractHard‐to‐manage preschoolers and controls, studied initially at age 3 and followed up at school entry, were followed up again at age 9. Maternal interviews indicated that 67 % of the hard‐to‐manage preschoolers who showed clinically significant problems at age 6 met DSM‐III criteria for an externalizing disorder at age 9. Maternal and teacher ratings confirmed the diagnostic data. Hard‐to‐manage youngsters who had improved by age 6 did not differ from comparison children on maternal or teacher reports. Regression analyses indicated that earlier child behavior, maternal behavior, symptom ratings, and ongoing family stress predicted current symptom

摘要:

AbstractFrom a sample of high risk children, groups of acting out, withdrawn, and normal preschool children were identified and followed through first, second, and third grade. A high degree of stability of developmental adaptation was found for each group. Examination of the exceptions to predicted outcomes indicated that discontinuity of development was accounted for by level and change in maternal depressive symptomatology, life circumstances, stressful life events experienced by the family, and quality of the home environment. Level of maternal depression appeared to directly affect the quality of care she provided her child, and indirectly affected the quality and organization of the home environment.

摘要:

AbstractInfants of mothers who used methadone, heroin, cocaine and other drugs during pregnancy were compared with a group of control infants over the first 30 months of life. Results of repeated examinations with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development showed a difference between the groups in mental development. No differences were found in a non‐verbal version of the mental scale, but infants of drug dependent mothers seem to have specific difficulties in early language development. In psychomotor development, in behaviour during testing and on a questionnaire on activity, infants of drug dependent mothers did not differ from the comparison childre

摘要:

AbstractTwenty‐eight children referred with a preliminary diagnosis of autistic disorder under age 3 yrs were extensively examined from the neuropsychiatric point of view and followed up for several months to several years. A diagnosis of autistic disorder was confirmed in 75% of the cases. A variety of associated medical conditions was identified. It was concluded that autism can be diagnosed in a substantial proportion of cases before age 3 yrs and that the neurobiological background is similar to that seen in older autistic childre

摘要:

AbstractThis study addresses changes in the responses of third graders to questions about the nature, cause and course of mental retardation under different methods of inquiry. Specifically, do responses vary when the task demands explicit definitions, indirect identification (from a vignette of a functionally retarded but unlabelled youngster), photographic identification, renditions through drawing, or enactment through manipulating a figure on a game board? It was found that the mode of questioning markedly influenced children's portrayal of retardation. Discussion focuses on children's suggestibility (guessing in the service of conformity), greater willingness to be negative when asked to ‘show’ rather than ‘talk’, and genuine co

摘要:

AbstractThe relationship between major life events and changes, across a 2‐yr period, in the level of parent‐reported behavioural/emotional problems in 1397 children from a general population sample was investigated using a highly modified version of the Coddington Life Events Record and the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. The life event questionnaire used in the present study proved to have a satisfactory reliability. The number of life events increased significantly with increasing age of the child, and a higher incidence of such events was found for families with lower socio‐economic status. A significant relationship was found between the total score of negative life events across the 2‐yr period and changes in the level of behavioural/emotional problems of the c

摘要:

AbstractMental health was evaluated early in the course of juvenile rheumatic disease; 106 parents of children (aged 1–17 yrs) were interviewed and 98 of the children were assessed when the child was hospitalized. Instruments included the Child Assessment Schedule (CAS), the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Half the patients received a psychiatric diagnosis; psychosocial dysfunction of at least mild severity was found in 64% of the patients. In the polyarthritic group there was a negative correlation between CGAS and severity of disease. CBCL behaviour scores did not differentiate between patients and siblings when corrected for somatic component
