社会行为缺陷是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者重返社会的主要障碍。认识到社会技能补救的重要性，强调了需要一个合适的评估工具。TBI人群对通常由于额叶损伤而发生的缺陷的特殊性质提出了特殊要求。中级社会技能行为参考评级系统（BRISS）已被证明具有良好的心理测量特性与TBI人群。它还提供了与额叶功能相关的特定社交技能的测量。本研究探讨的能力，言语量表的BRISS识别社会技能赤字在个别客户端的水平，并检测到显着的变化，技能干预计划涉及5个慢性TBI男性。在一个客户的情况下，谁表现出显着的临床改善，在社会行为，BRISS被发现，以确定明显的变化的具体领域。使用BRISS作为唯一的衡量社会技能的困难进行了讨论，在干预前相对较大的受试者内的变异性，这是发现与一些行为。
Deficits in social behaviour are a major obstacle to the reintegration into the community of traumatically brain-injured (TBI) individuals. Recognition of the importance of social skill remediation has highlighted the need for a suitable assessment tool. The TBI population presents particular requirements with respect to the special nature of deficits which commonly occur as a result of frontal lobe impairment. The Behaviorally Referenced Rating System of Intermediate Social Skills (the BRISS) has been shown to have good psychometric properties with a TBI population. It also provides a measure of particular social skills associated with frontal lobe functioning. This study examines the ability of the verbal scales of the BRISS to identify social skill deficits at the individual client level and to detect significant changes in skills following an intervention programme involving five chronic TBI males. In the case of one client, who demonstrated significant clinical improvement in social behaviour, the BRISS was found to identify specific areas of apparent change. The difficulty of using the BRISS as a sole measure of social skills is discussed in the light of relatively large pre-intervention within-subject variability which was found with respect to some behaviours.
