This study examines the relationships between perceived parental acceptance and children's behavioral problems (externalizing and internalizing) from a multi-informant perspective. Using mothers, fathers, and children as sources of information, we explore the informant effect and incremental validity. The sample was composed of 681 participants (227 children, 227 fathers, and 227 mothers). Children's (40% boys) ages ranged from 9 to 17 years (M = 12.52, SD = 1.81). Parents and children completed both the Parental Acceptance Rejection/Control Questionnaire (PARQ/Control) and the check list of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). Statistical analyses were based on the correlated uniqueness multitrait-multimethod matrix (model MTMM) by structural equations and different hierarchical regression analyses. Results showed a significant informant effect and a different incremental validity related to which combination of sources was considered. A multi-informant perspective rather than a single one increased the predictive value. Our results suggest that mother-father or child-father combinations seem to be the best way to optimize the multi-informant method in order to predict children's behavioral problems based on perceived parental acceptance.
本研究从多信息源视角考察了感知到的父母接纳与儿童行为问题（外化问题和内化问题）之间的关系。我们以母亲、父亲和儿童作为信息源，探讨了信息源效应和增量效度。样本由681名参与者组成（227名儿童、227名父亲和227名母亲）。儿童（40%为男孩）年龄在9至17岁之间（M = 12.52，SD = 1.81）。父母和儿童均完成了《父母接纳-拒绝/控制问卷》（PARQ/Control）以及《基于经验评估的阿肯巴克系统核查表》（ASEBA）。统计分析基于结构方程的相关独特性多特质-多方法矩阵（模型MTMM）以及不同的层次回归分析。结果显示出显著的信息源效应，以及与所考虑的信息源组合相关的不同增量效度。多信息源视角而非单一信息源视角提高了预测价值。我们的结果表明，为了基于感知到的父母接纳来预测儿童的行为问题，母亲-父亲或儿童-父亲的组合似乎是优化多信息源方法的最佳方式。
