Zusammenfassung

Im vorliegenden Artikel wird gezeigt, wie sich mit der Meta-Evaluation Erkenntnisse über die differenzielle Wirksamkeit des Gordon-Eltern-Trainings gewinnen lassen. Es zeigt sich, dass dem Training eine relativ hohe Trainingswirksamkeit bescheinigt werden kann. Es finden sich große Effekte für den Erwerb der direkt trainierten Kommunikationskompetenzen, mittlere Effekte für die Veränderung der elterlichen Einstellungen und die Eltern-Kind-Kommunikation und kleine Effekte für das Verhalten der Eltern und für das kindliche Selbstkonzept. Auch die Dauerhaftigkeit der Trainingswirkung wird belegt. Das Training scheint sich außerdem besser für geschlechtshomogene Gruppen von Elternteilen sowie die Eltern älter Kinderer zu eignen.

Abstract

The article shows how meta-evaluation leads to evidence about the differential effectiveness of the parent effectiveness training (PET) by Thomas Gordon. It shows that the training has a high general effectiveness. There are large effects for the directly trained communication skills, medium effects for the change of parental attitudes toward child-rearing and the parent-child-communication and small effects in parental behavior and the children’s self-concept. The training also shows long-term effects. Moreover, PET seems to be better suited for gender homogenous parent groups and for parents of older children.
