Paediatricians are often asked to assess children with emotional and behavioural problems and are faced with the dilemma that reports about the children's behaviour obtained from the children, and from their parents and teachers, may differ. This study compares the number of childhood emotional and behavioural problems reported by children living in the community, with the number of problems reported by their parents and teachers. When describing both internalizing and externalizing problems, the children consistently reported that they had more problems than were reported by either their parents or teachers. This pattern was particularly evident with reports from older female children who reported many more internalizing problems than were reported by their parents and teachers. Possible reasons for the differences between reports from children and the other informants are discussed.
儿科医生经常被要求评估有情绪和行为问题的儿童,他们面临着一个困境,即从儿童及其父母和教师那里获得的关于儿童行为的报告可能存在差异。本研究比较了社区中儿童报告的童年情绪和行为问题的数量,以及他们的父母和教师报告的问题数量。在描述内化和外化问题时,孩子们一致表示他们存在的问题比父母或教师报告的更多。这种模式在年龄较大的女童的报告中尤为明显,她们报告的内化问题比父母和教师报告的要多得多。文中讨论了儿童报告与其他信息提供者报告之间存在差异的可能原因。
