Journal of Clinical Psychology

Abstract

Examined the relationship of relaxation to hyperactivity in boys. Ten male Caucasians, who ranged in age from 6-12, were given 10 neutral treatment sessions and 10 relaxation training sessions. Behavioral observation, psychological tests and parental rating were taken before and after both neutral treatment and relaxation training. Analysis of the research was accomplished by using orthogonal planned comparisons. On all nine dependent variables, the Ss exhibited no change after neutral treatment and significant change after relaxation training. Data collected during the relaxation process demonstrated reduced muscle tension for all Ss.
