Child Compliance:
Definitions, Behavioral Measurement and Research Results
Keywords:
Compliance, Instructions, Family context, Educative practices, Compliance measurementsAbstract
Child compliance with parental instructions is an extensively discussed issue on clinical behavioral literature. However, there are few studies that quantify compliance levels in children of specific ages, making it difficult for clinicians to establish criteria in defining normal frequencies of compliance in a specific population. This paper presents some definitions of the term “compliance”, some instruments and measurements that are useful in measuring this behavior, and some research results that present compliance frequencies in clinical and non-clinical children.
