This study examined (a) differences among mothers', fathers', and children's reports of parental physical aggression toward children; (b) the reliability and validity of family members' reports of aggression using confirmatory factor analysis; and (c) the discriminant validity of the constructs of mother-child and father-child aggression. Participants were 72 dual-parent families in which the parents were seeking clinical services for their children's (ages 7-9 years) conduct behavior problems. Each participant completed the parent-child version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (P-CTS). Results indicate that children reported lower levels of mother-child and father-child aggression than either mothers or fathers reported. Although the reliability (total systematic variance accounted for by observed variables) of family members' reports on the P-CTS ranged from moderate to high, convergent validity was generally low. The constructs of mother-child and father-child aggression were highly correlated but could be distinguished from each other when relationships among rater effects were considered.
（a）母亲、父亲及孩子所报告的父母对孩子身体攻击行为之间的差异；（b）运用验证性因素分析考察家庭成员报告攻击行为的信度和效度；（c）母子攻击行为和父子攻击行为结构的区分效度。研究参与者为72个双亲家庭，这些家庭中的父母因其孩子（7至9岁）的行为问题寻求临床服务。每位参与者都完成了亲子版的冲突策略量表（P-CTS）。结果表明，孩子报告的母子及父子攻击行为水平低于母亲或父亲报告的水平。虽然家庭成员在P-CTS上报告的信度（由观测变量解释的总系统方差）从中度到高度不等，但聚合效度总体较低。母子攻击行为和父子攻击行为的结构高度相关，但在考虑评分者效应之间的关系时，可以相互区分。
