Description

This study examined the distinct perceptions of social functioning and treatment outcome across parent- and adolescent-reports following the UCLA PEERS® intervention, an evidence-based social skills program. Results suggest that parent-reports of adolescent social functioning significantly differ from adolescents self-reports both prior to and following treatment. Adolescents report significantly higher empathic abilities, social engagement, and peer interactions than parents, while parents report significantly higher adolescent anxiety prior to and following treatment.
