This study measured the outcome of Parent Effectiveness Training using parents who were trained and a matched control group. The responses of the trained parents were contrasted with the perceptions of their adolescent children in the use of P.E.T. techniques. Responses from the Parent Effectiveness Training test were used as a basis for comparison. Analysis of the data did not support the claim that trained parents were any better equipped to use P.E.T. techniques than parents who had no training. The reports of adolescents of parents trained in P.E.T. confirmed that their parents did not use P.E.T. techniques with high frequency in the home.
