Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare and determine the interacting behaviours
of Malay Kelantanese speaking of hearing mothers to their hearing-impaired or
normal-hearing children during mother-child interaction. Each group consisted of six
mother-child dyads and ten categories of interacting behaviours were analyzed. The
results indicated that the interacting behaviours of the mothers of the two groups
varied within groups. However, on comparison, the two groups; mothers of hearingimpaired
children and mothers of normal-hearing children showed no statistically
significant difference (p > 0.05). Results revealed that the mothers of hearingimpaired
children portrayed more of teacher and manager behaviour style but less
exhortation, helper, positive and negative verbalization, nonverbal reinforcer, and
positive and negative facial expression in the context of free play. The clinical
implications of these findings are associated with the culture, education, and
experience of the mother.
