Parents' and Teachers' Sensitivity to Unhappiness Reported by Undercontrolled Children.

Epanchin, Betty C.; Rennells, Mary Sue

Behavioral Disorders, v14 n3 p166-74 May 1989

The study with 110 undercontrolled children (ages 6-12) found that children's self-reports of depressive symptoms were not significantly correlated with parents' and teachers' ratings of depressive symptomatology; and that there were no differences in level of self-reported depressive symptoms in children rated as either depressed or not by their parents and teachers.
