Mental Health Professionals' Perception of the Utility of Children, Mothers, and Teachers as Informants on Childhood Psychopathology

Loeber, Rolf, Green, Stephanie, Lahey, Benjamin·1990·Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology

Abstract

Surveyed clinicians' and researchers' perceptions of the relative usefulness of prepubertal children, their mothers, and teachers as informants on children's problem behavior. Findings showed a high level of agreement within types of informants surveyed. Children were seen as the least useful informants on their own hyperactivity, attention problems, and oppositional behavior. Teachers were judged superior to mothers as informants on children's hyperactivity/inattentiveness; these relative ratings were reversed for oppositional child behavior. Children and mothers were perceived as more useful informants than teachers, on children's internalizing problems, with mothers scoring higher than children in all but one area–worrying. The survey results largely agree with those of other studies using different methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
