Preferred term

family therapy for noncompliance in children and adolescents  

Definition

  • Noncompliance (NC) is generally defined as a child's failure to follow directions, instructions, or commands and reflects disregard toward authority figures. In research contexts, NC is operation-alized using specific details that promote reliable measurement (e.g., the failure to initiate an appropriate or expected response within 5 seconds following a command).
