Title: A COMPARISON OF THE BEHAVIOR OF DEVIANT AND NON‐DEVIANT BOYS WHILE PLAYING ALONE AND INTERACTING WITH A SIBLING
Abstract: 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.
