   Abstract:
   Conducted a study with 18 mothers and their clinic-referred 2-9 yr olds to examine which data (parent behavior, child behavior, or parent reports) obtained in a clinic setting would be the best indicators of child noncompliance in the home. Results show that (a) 2 maternal behaviors, beta commands and total rewards, displayed in the clinic were the best predictors of child compliance in the home; and (b) the traditionally accepted parent report measures and child behavior in the clinic were not significant predictors of compliance in the home.
