本研究检查了父母培训的临床显著改善程度随儿童年龄（幼儿期与幼儿期）的变化而变化。73个贫困家庭的孩子年龄从2.5岁到12.5岁不等，观察互动在家里在干预前后。苦恼的儿童的厌恶行为的水平进行了比较，与那些nondistressed样本，以确定在nondistressed范围内的比例，家长的培训。结果发现，63%的6岁及以下的儿童表现出临床显著变化，而6岁及以上的儿童则为54.3%。对观察到的厌恶行为的重复测量ANOVA显示了统计学上可靠的治疗前和治疗后改善（阶段），以及对儿童年龄的一般影响。儿童相互作用的年龄阶段被认为是不显着的。然而，对未能完成父母培训的家庭进行的调查显示，年龄较大的儿童（6.5至12.5岁）比年龄较小的儿童（2.5至6.5岁）所占比例高。一般来说，这些数据与零假设一致，即父母培训对年幼和年长的儿童都有效，但在有较大儿童的家庭中，“辍学”的可能性更大。
This research examined the extent to which clinically significant improvement in parent training varied as a function of children's ages (early childhood vs. middle childhood). Seventy-three distressed families with children ranging in age from 2.5- to 12.5-years-old were observed interacting in the home at pre- and postintervention. The distressed children's levels of observed aversive behavior were compared with those of a nondistressed sample to determine the proportion within the nondistressed range following parent training. It was found that 63% of the distressed children 6-years-old and younger showed clinically significant change, compared to 54.3% of the distressed children 6-years-old and older. A repeated measures ANOVA on observed aversive behavior revealed a statistically reliable pre- and posttreatment improvement (phase), and a general effect for the age of the child. The phase-by-age of the child interaction was found to be nonsignificant. Examination of families who failed to complete parent training, however, revealed a high representation of older children (6.5- to 12.5-years-old) compared to younger children (2.5- to 6.5-years-old). In general, these data were consistent with the null hypothesis that parent training is effective for both younger and older children, but "drop out' from treatment is more likely among families with older children.
