Besides, children''s havioral characteristics were obtained from CBCL (Child Behavior Checklist) and TRF (Teacher''s Report Form) filled out by their arents and teachers. 　　Subjects were 20 ADHD and 30 normal boys ranging in age from 6 to 8 years 11 months. Childrens''s play activities with their unfamiliar peer were observed in free play and structured ask situations. Play behaviors in both the free play and task periods were analyzed according to the sponse class matrix (RCM) play assessment. The independent variables included: child characteristics, interaction peer, situation factor, and antecedent/consequent event. The dependent variables included: the frequence of positive lay behaviors, control play behaviors, solitary play behaviors and observed play behaviors. 　　Results were as follows: (I) In play observation: (1) Boys in the ADHD group engaged in more frequency of control play behaviors than normal group. (2) Peers in the ADHD group ngaged in more frequency of observed play behaviors than normal group. (3) In the antecedent events, boys engaged in ore frequency of positive play behaviors and control play behaviors than the consequent events. In the consequent events, boys engaged in more frequence of observed play behaviors than the antecedent events. (4) There was a significant child''s characteris tics x antecedent/consequent event interaction on the control play behaviors. (5) There was a significant child characteristics x interaction peer x situation factor interaction on the observed play behaviors. (II) On behvaioral rating scale: (1) ADHD boys had significantly higher mean scores in schizoid-anxious, depressed, uncommunicative, social withdrawal ,ractive, aggressive, delinquent scales, internalizing, externalizing and total behavioral problems than mal boys. (2) ADHD boys had significantly lower mean scores in social scale, school scale, and adaptive functional scale than normal boys. 　　The observation and analysis of paly behaviors between ADHD and normal children as well as the evaluationof child behavior from parents and teachers, will not only increase the erstanding of the behavioral differences between ADHD and normal children, but also provide useful information for children psychological assessment and clinical therapy.
