Parent-child agreement on child maltreatment was examined in a multigenerational study. Questionnaires on perpetrated and experienced child maltreatment were completed by 138 parent-child pairs. Multi-level analyses were conducted to explore whether parents and children agreed about levels of parent-to-child maltreatment (convergence), and to examine whether parents and children reported equal levels of child maltreatment (absolute differences). Direct and moderating effects of age and gender were examined as potential factors explaining differences between parent and child report. The associations between parent- and child-reported maltreatment were significant for all subtypes, but the strength of the associations was low to moderate. Moreover, children reported more parent-to-child neglect than parents did. Older participants reported more experienced maltreatment than younger participants, without evidence for differences in actual exposure. These findings support the value of multi-informant assessment of child maltreatment to improve accuracy, but also reveal the divergent perspectives of parents and children on child maltreatment.
在一项多代研究中，对亲子间关于儿童虐待的一致性进行了考察。138对亲子完成了关于实施和经历儿童虐待情况的问卷调查。进行了多层次分析，以探讨父母和孩子在亲子虐待程度上是否达成一致（趋同），并检验父母和孩子报告的儿童虐待程度是否相同（绝对差异）。考察了年龄和性别的直接及调节作用，作为解释父母和孩子报告差异的潜在因素。父母和孩子报告的虐待之间的关联在所有亚型中均显著，但关联强度为低到中等。此外，孩子报告的亲子间忽视情况比父母更多。年长参与者报告的受虐待经历比年轻参与者更多，且没有证据表明实际受虐情况存在差异。这些发现支持了多信息源评估儿童虐待以提高准确性的价值，但也揭示了父母和孩子在儿童虐待问题上的不同观点。
