Abstract

The Say-Do-Say correspondence is defined as the coincidence relationship between what a person says they will do, what they subsequently do, and what they finally report having done. Despite the relevance of this phenomenon in the clinical setting, it has been scarcely investigated. The two objectives of the present work were: (1) evaluate whether the proposed methodology is adequate to measure correspondence; (2) analyze whether the delay variable affects the establishment of correspondence. To do this, a pilot study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design with two groups (Delay group and No-Delay group) and nine single-case studies were carried out, measuring the correspondence in five behaviors through questionnaires and an observational methodology. In the Delay group, each of the phases was measured with a time difference of one week, while in the No-Delay group all measurements were performed on the same day. The methodology used seemed appropriate to make a first approach to the phenomenon in semi-natural contexts, although certain limitations were found that must be taken into account in future studies. Likewise, it was found that the delay affected the establishment of the three types of correspondence relationship (Say-Do, Do-Say, Say-Say).
