Background and Objectives Obtaining a multi-informant perspective is important when assessing mental health issues in childhood and adolescence. Obtaining ratings from both parents and teachers also facilitates the evaluation of similarities and contrasts in the nature and severity of symptoms across home and school contexts. However, these informants may differ in their interpretations of observed behaviors, raising questions about the validity of comparing parents’ and teachers’ ratings. Methods We evaluated the cross-informant measurement invariance of one of the most widely used measures of child and adolescent mental health: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Using data from the UK-population representative Millennium Cohort Study, we evaluated configural, metric, and scalar measurement invariance across parents and teachers when children were aged 7 (N = 10,221) and 11 (N = 10,543). Results Scalar measurement invariance held at both ages. Parents reported higher levels of symptoms in all domains measured at both ages as well as higher prosociality. Conclusions For a UK sample, valid comparisons of parent and teacher SDQ ratings at ages 7 and 11 appear to be possible, facilitating the evaluation of contextual differences in child mental health problems. Further, parents report more problem and prosocial behavior in their children than teachers attribute to them.

教师与家长线人测量强度和困难问卷的不变性

背景和目标 在评估儿童和青春期的心理健康问题时,获得多信息者的观点很重要。从家长和老师那里获得评分也有助于评估家庭和学校环境中症状的性质和严重程度的相似性和对比。然而,这些信息提供者对观察到的行为的解释可能不同,这引发了对比较父母和老师评级的有效性的质疑。方法 我们评估了最广泛使用的儿童和青少年心理健康测量方法之一的交叉信息测量不变性:优势和困难问卷 (SDQ)。使用来自英国人口代表千年队列研究的数据,我们评估了配置、度量、当孩子 7 岁(N = 10,221)和 11 岁(N = 10,543)时,父母和老师之间的标量测量不变性。结果 标量测量不变性在两个年龄都保持。父母报告了在两个年龄以及更高的亲社会性测量的所有领域的更高水平的症状。结论 对于英国样本,对 7 岁和 11 岁的家长和教师 SDQ 评分进行有效比较似乎是可能的,有助于评估儿童心理健康问题的背景差异。此外,父母报告的孩子的问题和亲社会行为比老师归因于他们的要多。结论 对于英国样本,对 7 岁和 11 岁的家长和教师 SDQ 评分进行有效比较似乎是可能的,有助于评估儿童心理健康问题的背景差异。此外,父母报告的孩子的问题和亲社会行为比老师归因于他们的要多。结论 对于英国样本,对 7 岁和 11 岁的家长和教师 SDQ 评分进行有效比较似乎是可能的,有助于评估儿童心理健康问题的背景差异。此外,父母报告的孩子的问题和亲社会行为比老师归因于他们的要多。
