N2 - Inappropriate social behaviours are among the most frequent behavioural sequelae after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may have a deleterious effect on the person's social reintegration. The goal of the present study was to develop and validate an instrument to predict inappropriate social behaviour after a TBI, the Social Responding Task (SRT). The task consists of 18 original scenarios illustrating social interactions among which 14 scenarios involved an inappropriate social behaviour and 4 scenarios involved an appropriate social behaviour that can be display in response to that situation. Thirty participants with a TBI and 41 controls matched in terms of age, sex and education participated in the study.
RESULTS showed that participants with a TBI scored higher than controls on the inappropriate social behaviour scale whereas no group difference was found on the appropriate social behaviour scale. Also, the SRT showed good predictive, convergent and divergent validity and adequate test-retest reliability.
RESULTS suggest that the SRT is an objective and practical instrument pour clinicians and researchers interested in predicting inappropriate social behaviour in everyday life of individuals with a TBI. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
