The Stability

The development of a set of inventories for objectively assessing the adjustment and social behavior of pre-psychotic and ex-hospital patients in the community is described. The underlying rationale and the operational criteria for the scales are presented, along with the results of several studies having to do with their discriminative validity in a follow-up study, the development of the separate measures of adjustment and social behavior, the internal consistencies, and the stability of the measures across populations. The major characteristics of the scales are their reliance on both the patient and a relative in measuring social behavior, the use of a relative as a direct reporter, and the establishment of his reliability in describing patient behavior. The scales have been designed for application to the problems of describing and classifying patients in accordance with their behavior prior to entrance to the hospital and in the community follow-up evaluation and comparison of psychiatric treatments.

Teacher Opinions

The aim of the present follow-up study was to assess whether clumsiness persists beyond the age of 12 and to describe the characteristics of motor and other problems, if present. From 62 children studied in 1984, 12 clumsy and 14 control children were reassessed in 1989. Reasons for dropout were a change of address, unwillingness to participate, and exclusion of hyperactive children with clumsiness. The Test of Motor Impairment indicated that at least 50% of the clumsy children were still markedly below the level of normal motor performance. This outcome was also validated by parent and teacher opinions. Persistent problems were not specifically related to one domain of fine or gross motor ability or general coordination. Concomitant problems reported by teachers and parents were lack of concentration and problems in social behavior.

Mobility Status

A 2-year follow-up study assessed the stability of special education students' mobility, status, and classification labels. A total of 1,184 students were selected in fall 1982 from the elementary special education programs of three cities. Two years later, 92% remained in their school district. Of these, 71% stayed in special education with the same classification, 12% remained with a different classification, and 17% were no longer receiving special education services. The child's original primary classification was the strongest predictor of reclassification and termination. Family background contributed most to mobility. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

Follow Up Study

8 isolate monkeys were compared in a follow-up study to 8 sophisticated controls in brief cross-sectional pairings with 12 stimulus strangers: 4 adults, 4 age-mates, and 4 juveniles. The isolates were characterized by infantile disturbance, less environmental orality, more fear, more aggression, less sex, less play, and bizarre ritualistic movements. 12-mo. isolates were fearful and nonaggressive but threatened many attacks. 6-mo. isolates were fearful and physically aggressive. The 12-mo. isolates demonstrated practically no positive social behavior. Conclusions are: (a) 6 mo. of social isolation during the first year has negative effects on social behavior up to puberty, (b) abnormal aggression appears in 3-yr.-old 6-mo. isolates, and (c) 12 mo. of isolation suppress or delay this aggression.
