dc.description.abstractAssessment and identification of young children with developmental needs are crucial aspects of a well-functioning early childhood mental health system. Tools that are valid and provide guidance for treatment of relationship problems in early childhood are scarce. The current study explores the convergent validity of the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM). A sample of 50 caregiver-child dyads were administered the MIM and a battery of related assessments including the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional, the Child Behavior Checklist, the Parenting Stress Index, and the Social-Emotional Assessment/Evaluation Measure. Regression and correlation results provided mixed evidence for the convergent validity of the MIM. The MIM, however, appeared to be related to social and emotional risk and appeared to reliably predict intervention need. More research is needed to explore the applications of the MIM in early childhood mental health systems.en_US
