Whether studies should rely on parent or child reports of parental mediation remains a much-debated question. We investigated the agreement between parent and adolescent reports of the frequency and style (autonomy-supportive, controlling, inconsistent) of restrictive and active mediation, and their relative validity. Results revealed perceptual differences, with parents reporting more autonomy-supportive mediation. With some exceptions, both parent and adolescent reports correlated with relevant criterion measures. Results suggest that parent and adolescent reports are equally valid to assess the frequency and style of mediation, and that both reports should be considered to obtain a complete understanding of parents’ mediation efforts.

青少年家长媒体调解：家长和青少年报告的比较研究

研究是否应该依赖父母或子女的父母调解报告仍然是一个备受争议的问题。我们调查了父母和青少年报告的限制性和主动调解的频率和风格（自主支持、控制、不一致）之间的一致性，以及它们的相对有效性。结果显示感知差异，父母报告更多的自主支持调解。除了一些例外，父母和青少年的报告都与相关的标准措施相关。结果表明，家长和青少年的报告对于评估调解的频率和风格同样有效，并且应考虑两份报告以全面了解父母的调解努力。
