Validity of Self- and Parent-Report Scales in Screening Students for Behavioral and Emotional Problems in Elementary School.
Wrobel, Nancy Howells; Lachar, David
Psychology in the Schools, v35 n1 p17-27 Jan 1998
Examines the comparative validity of a parent-report scale and a self-report scale, both designed to assess behavioral and emotional problems. Results, based on 111 children in regular education classrooms, indicate that parent reports were more sensitive to overt behavioral problems, whereas self-reports were sensitive to mood disturbances and withdrawal.
