The long-term goal of this project is to improve the impact of early intervention for antisocial aggression in childhood. Intensive parent training is the chosen treatment mode. A problem which severely limits the overall effectiveness of a parent training program is insufficient participation by a significant proportion of parents. This project involves a detailed analysis of initial dropout, ongoing dropout, and quality of participation for nondropouts in a sample of at least 150 families who are offered parent training. To qualify, the family must be seeking treatment for a boy between 4 and 9 years of age who is diagnosable as moderate to severe Undersocialized Conduct Disorder (Aggressive Type). The program involves individual training of pinpointing and tracking, reinforcment methods, use of timeout, reduction of physical punishment, appropriate use of antecedent procedures, improvement of the home social climate, specific skills for improving the child's style with peers, and instructions in how to analyze new problems. After assessment, families are randomly assigned to either of two treatment conditions: (1) conventional parent training, or (2) conventional parent training plus strategy for parental expectations. The two treatment approaches will be compared with respect to dropout rate, reasons for dropout, quality of participation, relationship between quality of participation and outcome, and outcome. Outcome measures include parental and teacher tracking of problem behaviors, and teacher ratings of peer relations. Additionally, training-session audiotapes will be rated by blind observers to verify fidelity of treatment conditions. Based on the analyses of dropout and participation, a model of participation will be developed and specific treatment recommendations will be offered to counter these problems. By understanding and improving the participation of families, early intervention can be successful with a greater proportion of hyperaggressive children who need treatment.

该项目的长期目标是提高早期的影响 对儿童时期的反社会攻击行为进行干预。 强化家长 训练是所选择的治疗模式。 一个严重限制了 家长培训计划的整体效果不够 相当一部分家长的参与。 这个项目 涉及对初始辍学、持续辍学和 至少 150 名样本中非辍学者的参与质量 接受家长培训的家庭。 为了符合资格，家庭必须是 为一名可诊断的 4 至 9 岁男孩寻求治疗 中度至重度社会化行为障碍（攻击型）。 该计划涉及精确定位和跟踪的个人培训， 强化方法、使用暂停、减少体罚、 适当使用前置程序，改善家庭社交 气候、改善孩子与同龄人相处的方式的具体技能，以及 指导如何分析新问题。 评估后，家属 被随机分配到以下两种治疗条件之一：(1) 常规家长培训，或 (2) 常规家长培训加上 父母期望的策略。 这两种治疗方法将 与辍学率、辍学原因、学业质量相比 参与、参与质量和结果之间的关系， 和结果。 结果衡量包括家长和老师跟踪 问题行为以及教师对同伴关系的评分。 此外， 培训课程录音带将由盲人观察员进行评级以验证 治疗条件的保真度。 基于对辍学情况的分析 参与，将制定参与模式并具体 将提供治疗建议来解决这些问题。 经过 了解并提高家庭的参与度，及早 对于更大比例的过度攻击性患者，干预可以取得成功 需要治疗的儿童。
