One hundred and ninety-eight adolescents and their mothers (N = 189) and fathers (N = 136) participated in a 4-year longitudinal study. Adolescent problem behaviour was assessed by the Youth Self-Report (YSR) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). In addition, parental stress and marital adjustment were determined. Results showed that mothers and fathers showed high agreement, especially about their daughters, whereas parents and adolescents showed little agreement. Agreement was higher for internalising than for externalising behaviours. In general, adolescents reported more symptomatology than their parents did. However, mothers' ratings of their children's behaviours were significantly correlated with adolescents' self-ratings, but fathers' ratings were not. Statistical tests of correlations showed that mothers experiencing stress caused by marital problems perceived more problem behaviours in their children. Fathers' perceptions were relatively unaffected by personal adjustment. However, poor marital adjustment perceived by both parents showed a significant negative relation to adolescent externalising problem behaviour.
198名青少年及其母亲（N = 189）和父亲（N = 136）参与了一项为期4年的纵向研究。青少年问题行为通过青少年自评量表（YSR）和儿童行为清单（CBCL）进行评估。此外，还测定了父母压力和婚姻调适情况。结果显示，母亲和父亲的意见高度一致，尤其是在对女儿的看法上，而父母与青少年之间的意见则很少一致。内化行为的一致性高于外化行为。总体而言，青少年报告的症状比他们的父母更多。然而，母亲对孩子行为的评分与青少年的自评显著相关，但父亲的评分则不然。相关性统计检验表明，因婚姻问题而承受压力的母亲认为自己孩子的问题行为更多。父亲的看法相对不受个人调适情况的影响。然而，父母双方都认为婚姻调适不佳与青少年外化问题行为呈显著负相关。
