Summary
Deviant and non‐deviant boys were observed playing alone and interacting with a sibling. Compared with the normals, deviant children showed more changes in attention while playing alone and les co‐operative play while interacting with their brothers. For both deviant and non‐deviant Boys, activity and changes in attention were positively correlated with similar sibling responses. However, positive correlations for other behaviors, such as solitary play and non‐play activity were found only for non‐deviant sibling pairs. Relative to the normals, the behavior of deviant boys during solitary play was correlated with their behavior during sibling interaction, Suggesting greater cross‐situational consistency in responding. For both groups, self‐verbalizations during solitary play were related to behavior during social interactions with siblings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
