The behavior of children in 21 child abusive and 21 nonabusive matched comparison families were compared using home observations performed by professional independent observers and parental report measures (Becker Bipolar Adjective Checklist, Child Behavior Checklist, Parent Daily Report). Parental report measures of child conduct problems differed significantly between the two groups, independent observations showed few significant differences in rates of either child or parental behaviors. Results are discussed in terms of the validity of parental perceptions and reports of child problem behaviors, the informativeness of differing reports for diagnosis and clinical treatment, and the need to gather corroboration across various sources and settings before clinical decisions are made that may irrevocably alter a child's future development.
通过专业独立观察员进行的家庭观察以及父母报告测量工具(贝克尔双极形容词检查表、儿童行为检查表、父母每日报告),对21个虐待儿童家庭和21个与之匹配的非虐待儿童对照家庭中儿童的行为进行了比较。两组之间父母报告的儿童行为问题测量结果存在显著差异,但独立观察显示,儿童行为或父母行为发生率几乎没有显著差异。从父母对儿童问题行为的认知和报告的有效性、不同报告对诊断和临床治疗的信息价值,以及在做出可能不可逆转地改变儿童未来发展的临床决策之前,需要从各种来源和环境中收集确证等方面对结果进行了讨论。
