Abstrakt: The article presents a study which investigates the reliability and reactivity effects of the videotape technique on a ward for retarded children in the U.S. Residents including all 37 children in a building of a large state training school were studied. Cautions and suggestions for future use of the videotaping technique were also tackled. Results revealed that videotaping can be employed to get an accurate representation of ward activities as viewed by trained observers. Ratings of several dimensions of aide-resident interaction obtained from a remotely controlled videotape camera were discovered to be both reliable and reactive.
