摘要:

SUMMARYTwenty‐five children aged 10–11, none of whom had been psychiatrically assessed as “disturbed”, were rated for their social behaviour at school. Nine with no signs of disturbance were termed the “Adjusted” group, 8 with one or two signs the “Middle” group, and&with four or more signs the “Disturbed” group. Significant differences were found between the “Adjusted” and “Disturbed” groups for parental verbal behaviour during a family discussion task, “Disturbed” mothers being comparatively over‐prominent and over‐attentive to their children, “Disturbed” fathers being withdrawn. Overt behaviour appeared to reflect mild underlying emotional disturbances wit

摘要:

SUMMARYOf the 3370 children referred to the Department of Psychiatry, Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, during the decade 1 January 1945 to 31 December 1954 and who were born prior to 1946, 12 per cent were, as adults, patients of the Victorian Mental Health Department between June 1961 and June 1969. This represents a fourfold increase in expected rate. Wheel the mentally subnormal were excluded from consideration the rate was 3 times greater than expected. Of the non subnormal diagnostic, groups, male personality disorders had the worst prognosis. Comparing the children on such variables as reason for referral, behaviour complained of, age at onset of symptoms, age at presentation, duration of symptoms, social class and amount of treatment, little of predictive value emerged.

摘要:

SUMMARYKoluchova's on‐going study of twin boys who suffered extreme deprivation between 18 months and 7 yr, and who thereafter received remedial treatment, is discussed in the context of relevant literature. Malnutrition, cruelly, neglect and considerable isolation over 51/2 yr did not predestine them permanently to the condition of severe subnormality which they manifested on discovery. Their greatly accelerated development confirms similar work and sheds some light on the interaction of constitutional and environmental factors in the formation of human characteristics. Results underline the inadequacy of theories stressing the over‐riding importance of early experiences for later gro

摘要:

SUMMARYThe author reports an unusual case of deprivation. Monozygotic twin boys were reared from age 18 months to 7 yr in social isolation by a psychopathic stepmother and an inadequate father. On discovery, their mental age level was 3 yr, hilt after treatment, a period in a children's home and approximately 2 yr in a good foster‐home, they had made remarkable progress and now appear about average for their age. Forensic aspects of the case are discussed, as arc features of the foster‐home placement, and the significance of twins hip in the recovery. Residual effects of deprivation will be studied by an extended follow‐up.Because of the criminal behaviour of the stepmother the children were exposed to living conditions which resembled those of an experimental situation. From the human standpoint, of course, it was an extremely cruel and unrepeatable experiment. From the scientific point of view, however, it was also a very valuable our. It will be important, therefore, to follow up the ease over a long period, in the hope of contributing to a solution of some of the problems associated with mental depriv

摘要:

SUMMARYThis paper raises the problem of respondent anonymity in test administration. A total of 380 children, aged 11 and 12 years, were given a revised version of the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory that includes a psychoticism scale. An administration condition of anonymity was compared with one in which children were required to give their names. While the results gave no clear differences between the two conditions, the expected differences between boys and girls emerged. The correlations between the scales, and the internal consistency coefficients of the scales, also compared well with those from other versions of the inventory. It is suggested that under normal research conditions, children wilt tend to give honest, or al least consistent, answers to this type of questionnaire.

摘要:

SUMMARYDespite many findings of consistent sex differences in verbal and non‐verbal skills, there has been no systematic investigation of the performance of girls and boys on tests of creativity. This is particularly puzzling in view of the unequivocal superiority of the female in terms of verbal fluency. A study of the responses of 60 boys and 60 girls between 71/2 and 91/2 yr of age on the Wallach‐Kogan tests revealed that the girls scored higher than the boys on the Fluency measure but not on the Originality measure. The results are interpreted in terms of the differential development of verbal and non‐verbal skills in the two sexes and the “divergent cognitive style”–the latter apparently being more a characteristic of the male than of
