Brown and Heathers (2017) introduced a mathematical technique to detect statistical irregularities in reported statistics in scientific articles, which they named Granularity-Related Inconsistency of Means (GRIM). Focusing mostly on social psychology, the technique revealed nearly a third of published manuscripts in respected journals contained statistical anomalies. To this point, there has been no survey using the GRIM technique in clinical psychology. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for child behavior problems with a long record of research with many impressive findings. PCIT presents a new context within which to further test the GRIM technique and to better understand how widespread statistical irregularities occur throughout psychological science. Of the PCIT manuscripts that I evaluated (N = 24), over half (N = 17; 70.83%) contained at least one statistical anomaly. From these 17 manuscripts, only 4 (23.53%) of corresponding authors who were contacted responded to an inquiry about that anomaly. These results slightly differ from the original GRIM paper, with a higher percentage of PCIT manuscripts containing GRIM inconsistencies and with a lower rate of sharing data.

This study compares the effectiveness of Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in reducing behavior problems (e.g., aggression, defiance, anxiety) of 62 clinic-referred, 2- to 7-year-old, maltreated children exposed to interparental violence (IPV) with a group of similar children with no exposure to IPV (N = 67). Preliminary analyses showed that IPV-exposed dyads were no more likely to terminate treatment prematurely than non IPV-exposed dyads. Results of repeated-measures MANCOVAs showed significant decreases in child behavior problems and caregivers’ psychological distress from pre- to posttreatment for IPV-exposed and IPV nonexposed groups, and no significant variation by exposure to IPV. Stress in the parent role related to children’s difficult behaviors and the parent–child relationship decreased from pre- to posttreatment, but parental distress did not decrease significantly over the course of PCIT. Results of an analysis testing the benefits of a full course of treatment over the first phase of treatment showed that dyads completing the full course of treatment reported significantly greater improvements in children’s behavior problems than those receiving only the first phase of treatment.
