The present study sought to evaluate the psychometric properties and inter-informant agreement of the () in adolescents and their parents.
Suicidal and nonsuicidal adolescents from the community ( = 206), ages 12-19 years, were administered the SITBI-R during a lab visit. Approximately half of the adolescents' parents opted to complete a parent assessment, including the SITBI-R, on behalf of their child. Inter-rater reliability, convergent validity, and inter-informant agreement were assessed.
The SITBI-R exhibited overall excellent inter-rater reliability and good convergent validity in adolescents. Parent-adolescent agreement ranged from fair to poor across most outcomes, with parents tending not to report past self-injurious thoughts and behaviors endorsed by their children.
The present study suggests that the SITBI-R can be extended for use with adolescents. Future research should evaluate moderators and implications of parent-adolescent disagreement, particularly with regard to suicide risk.
本研究旨在评估青少年及其父母 () 的心理测量特性和信息提供者间的一致性。
在实验室访问期间,对来自社区的有自杀和非自杀倾向的青少年(n=206)进行了 SITBI-R 评估。大约一半的青少年的父母选择代表他们的孩子完成父母评估,包括 SITBI-R。评估了评分者间信度、聚合效度和信息提供者间的一致性。
SITBI-R 在青少年中表现出总体上极好的评分者间信度和良好的聚合效度。父母-青少年的一致性在大多数结果上从一般到较差不等,父母往往不会报告他们的孩子所认可的过去的自我伤害思想和行为。
本研究表明,SITBI-R 可以扩展用于青少年。未来的研究应评估父母-青少年分歧的调节因素和影响,特别是在自杀风险方面。
