“…The high variance between means at the baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up assessments may explain why changes were not large enough to be significant. Although child categories of the DPICS are not commonly reported in PCIT outcome studies, a recent study on discriminating families with ODD or CD children and families with children without a diagnosis using the DPICS, revealed no differences between these groups on child inappropriate behavior (Bjørseth et al 2015 ). Therefore, we encourage including DPICS child behavior categories in future research, in order to study discrepancies between observed and reported child behavior.…”

Treating Child Disruptive Behavior in High-Risk Families: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial from a Community-Based Implementation

et al. 2015

Parent management training programs have proven the most effective way to treat child behavior problems. This study reports on an effectiveness trial of a community-based implementation of Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in comparison with the Dutch-developed Family Creative Therapy (FCT). Forty-five children (58 % boys) aged between 32 and 102 months (M = 67.7, SD = 15.9) were referred for treatment, and they and their parent(s) were randomly assigned to PCIT or FCT. Treatment effectiveness was measured primarily by the degree of improvement on child behavior problems, using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory. Secondary outcomes included parent and teacher report data and independent observations of parenting skills and child behavior. During the trial, randomization was violated by treatment crossovers (from FCT to PCIT). Intention-to-treat analyzes revealed no significant differences in the primary outcome at 6-month follow-up, but interpretation was hampered by the crossovers. Subsequent treatment-received analyzes revealed significant interaction effects between time and treatment condition, with greater improvements in child behavior and parenting skills for PCIT families compared to FCT families. Analyzes on families that fully completed the PCIT protocol also showed higher treatment maintenance at follow-up. The treatment-received analyzes indicated promising results for the effectiveness of PCIT in treating young children’s disruptive behavior problems in a high-risk population. However, caution in generalizing the conclusions is needed in view of the design difficulties in this study. Suggestions are made for enhancing treatment delivery in daily practice, and clinical implications are noted.

“…The DPICS (Eyberg & Robinson, 1983;Robinson & Eyberg, 1981;DPICS II, Eyberg & Robinson, 2005) is an observational tool designed to assess the quality of parent-child social interaction. Standardised and validated across a variety of settings with varying populations (Bjorseth, McNeil & Wichstrom, 2015;Eyberg & Robinson, 2005;Robinson & Eyberg, 1981) it provides a comprehensive account of behaviour due to its use of continuous recording of interactions using frequency counts. A revised version of the DPICS (the DPICS-R) was devised in 2000 (Webster-Stratton, 2000) for use as the main outcome measure for assessing behavioural change following the implementation of parenting interventions with parents of children aged from 12 months to 12 years (e.g.…”

“…Hutchings et al, 2007). The DPICS-R consists of 29 parent and child categories ( (Robinson & Eyberg, 1981;Hutchings et al, 2017), and good discriminate validity when used to code live dyadic interactions (Bjorseth, McNeil & Wichstrom, 2015). Whilst there are no formal cutoffs for the DPICS or the DPICS-R the original DPICS developers, Robinson and Eyberg (1981) suggested that a 30% change in scores from the first to the second assessment represented a clinically relevant change.…”

Comparing Live and Video Observation to Assess Early Parent-child Interactions in the Home

Peer reviewed versionCyswllt i'r cyhoeddiad / Link to publication Dyfyniad o'r fersiwn a gyhoeddwyd / Citation for published version (APA): Abstract = 199/250 words Main Text word count (exc. figures/tables): 5168 without references Title AbstractObservation is the 'gold standard' for assessing parent-child behavior, however few studies have compared coding live, in real time, versus coding from videotapes in terms of their achievable levels of coder reliability within the field of parent programme research. This is important for practitioners and researchers for whom decisions might be influenced by time and financial constraints, but where outcomes may have real practical and clinical implications. Trained coders in the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System Revised, coded 40 half-hour videotapes of 33 parent-toddler dyads interacting in the home on 29 items of dyadic behaviour. Four theorised composite variables were constructed. Videotaped data were compared to data drawn from the same interactions previously coded 'live' in the home. Correlations indicated significant agreement between the two modes at the item by item level (p < .001). Wilcoxon Rank tests revealed significant differences (p < .001) between the two modes. Eight items exceeded a ±30% change in median score suggesting clinically relevant differences. Although both methods achieved acceptable levels of inter-rater reliability, video coding achieved higher levels of agreement. Subtle differences exist between the two modes. Whilst neither mode proved superior it is suggested that they should not be used interchangeably.

“…The specific coding categories used in the current version have adequate inter-coder reliability and occur frequently enough for reliable coding. In addition, the DPICS has been found efficient for the screening of disruptive behavior disorders in children in a Norwegian sample (Bjørseth, McNeil, & Wichstrøm, 2015). Given the importance of reliable and valid behavioral observation of parent-child interactions in both the evaluation and the implementation of treatment, and given the prevalence of the use of DPICS in research and treatment (see, e.g., Borden et al, 2014;Niec, Shanley, Barnett, Baker, & Solomon, 2015;Thornberry & Brestan-Knight, 2011), further research with the DPICS in new populations is warranted.…”

The current study explored the psychometric properties of a parent-child interaction observation system, the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS) in the Netherlands. Participants included 31 Dutch mother-child dyads and 86 U.S. mother-child dyads for a community sample (2-7 years; 50% boys). Good one-week test-retest reliability was demonstrated among the Dutch sample. Similarities were found between Dutch and U.S. samples on most interaction codes, but mothers in the U.S. sample used more directive behaviors (e.g., commands) in some situations. Findings suggest that the DPICS is a reliable measure of mother-child interactions in the Dutch population. Cultural issues regarding the use of the DPICS are discussed.
