A responsive interview style focusing on feelings, not just facts, encourages mothers to express more emotions during psychiatric diagnostic interviews. This approach is particularly effective for mothers who initially express fewer feelings.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Child Psychiatry

Background:

  • Diagnostic interviews are crucial for assessing children referred to psychiatric clinics.
  • Interview techniques can significantly influence patient emotional expression and information disclosure.
  • Understanding optimal interview styles is key to effective psychiatric evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of two experimental interview styles in initial diagnostic interviews.
  • To determine if a feeling-oriented interview style elicits more emotional expression than a fact-oriented style.
  • To assess the impact of interview techniques on obtaining diagnostically significant emotional information.

Main Methods:

  • Two experimental interview styles were developed, differing in active feeling-oriented techniques but matched for active fact-oriented techniques.

  • The study involved initial diagnostic interviews with mothers of children referred to a psychiatric clinic.
  • Emotional expression and diagnostically significant feelings were measured.

    • Main Results:

    • The interview style with higher levels of actively responsive feeling-oriented techniques elicited greater emotional expression.
    • This responsive style more frequently obtained feelings of potential diagnostic significance.
    • The actively responsive style was more effective in boosting emotional expression for mothers with initially low spontaneous expression rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Actively responsive, feeling-oriented interview techniques enhance emotional disclosure in diagnostic settings.
    • These techniques are valuable for gathering crucial emotional data, particularly from less expressive mothers.
    • The findings support the use of emotionally attuned approaches in child psychiatric initial interviews.
