The Questionnaires for Assessing Self-Control Behaviors

Self-control procedures have been frequently used in psychotherapy, especially behavior therapy. However, there is a high degree of variability among clients in their ability to apply self-control methods.　Present article reviewed researches on the assessment of individual differences in self-control behavior by the questionnaire method. Four questionnaires for children (Self-Control Rating Scale : Kendall & Wilcox, 1979 ; Teacher's Self-Control Rating Scale and Children's Perceived Self-Control Scale : Humphrey, 1982; Child Self-Control Rating Scale: Rohrbeck, Azar, & Wagner, 1991) and two for adults (Self-Control Schedule: Rosenbaum, 1980; Redressive-Reformative Self-Control Scale: Sugiwaka, 1995) were evaluated in terms of the reliability and the validity.　Following research problems were pointed out : (a) construction of a questionnaire measuring developmental differences in self-control behavior, (b) determination of intervention techniques based upon individual differences measured by self-control questionnaires

Clinical implications of renewal research in humans

本稿の目的は，人を対象とした古典的条件づけを用いた復元研究の内容を概観した上で，研究の知見を臨床的介入に応用するための課題を明らかにし，今後の研究展望を示すことにあった。まず，復元という現象を定義し，解説するとともに，臨床場面における症状の再発との関連性について述べた。次に，人を対象とした古典的条件づけを用いた復元研究を検索エンジン「OvidSP」によって抽出し，58本の研究内容を分類した。その上で，今後の課題として，治療場面における臨床的妥当性の高い文脈設定の必要性，実際の臨床事例において想定される条件刺激と文脈の組合せによる研究の必要性，関連する精神疾患との対応が不十分であることの3点を指摘した。研究動
