취학 전 아동을 위한 PEERS®중재의 질적 지표 분석 = Applying Quality Indicators to Examine PEERS® for Preschoolers: A Systematic Review

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to systematically review research findings on PEERS® for preschoolers. A total of nine studies (eight group experimental and one single subject experimental research) were selected for analysis. Published methodological quality indicators were used to assess overall study characteristics, focusing on eight domains: research design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, data analysis, independent and dependent variables, generalization, maintenance, and social validity. Findings indicated that the majority of participants across studies were children with autism spectrum disorder. The Social Responsiveness Scale-2nd edition (SRS-2) was the most frequently used assessment tool. Six studies assessed generalization effects by measuring the frequency of play dates, and six examined maintenance of intervention effects. Overall, the findings suggest that PEERS® has potential significance as a parent–implemented social skills training. The results further highlight the need for future research to systematically examine the applicability and effectiveness of PEERS® in clinical and educational settings.
