Caregiver report is the most feasible way to assess early childhood development but is susceptible to the influences of response style and sociodemographic factors. In a sample of 571 caregiver-infant dyads (47.8% female; 48% White), we compared caregiver reports on the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Third Edition (ASQ-3) with reports on a novel, web-based assessment, PediaTrac™. Ratings on PediaTrac correlated with ratings on the ASQ-3 at all time points (2, 4, 6, and 9 months). Caregiver age, response style, and sociodemographic factors accounted for significant variance on both measures. Developmental reporting of early childhood skills is influenced by caregiver response style and sociodemographic factors. These influences must be considered in order to ensure the accurate identification of infant developmental status.
照顾者报告是评估幼儿发育最可行的方法,但易受应答方式和社会人口学因素的影响。在一个由571对照顾者-婴儿二元组组成的样本中(47.8%为女性;48%为白人),我们将照顾者对《年龄与阶段问卷第三版》(ASQ-3)的报告与基于网络的新型评估工具PediaTrac™的报告进行了比较。在所有时间点(2个月、4个月、6个月和9个月),PediaTrac的评分与ASQ-3的评分相关。照顾者年龄、应答方式和社会人口学因素在这两种测量方法中均导致了显著差异。幼儿技能的发育报告受照顾者应答方式和社会人口学因素的影响。为确保准确识别婴儿发育状况,必须考虑这些影响因素。
