Abstract
Eight children from a child psychiatry inpatient unit were observed during mealtimes to examine the effects of varying staff-patient ratios on their behavior. The frequency of negative behavior was lowest during the moderate ratio periods for most subjects. Type of staff attention, rather than number of staff, appeared to be related to acting-out behavior in the children.
