“…A third design feature was use of multiple data analytic approaches to explore different aspects of cross-informant agreement, such as scale score differences, scale score correlations, mean item correlations, within-dyad item correlations, and dichotomous agreement. The two studies summarized here used these approaches to conduct international comparisons of parent-adolescent agreement, but they have also been used to study parent-teacher agreement (Rescorla et al 2014) and agreement between adults and collaterals (Rescorla, Achenbach et al 2016). Across all these studies, results have indicated a striking degree of cross-cultural consistency but also some important societal differences that would be fruitful to investigate in further research.…”

As summarized in this commentary, the first generation of cross-informant agreement research focused on perceptions of child and adolescent mental health. Contributions of this research include demonstrating that modest cross-informant agreement is a very robust phenomenon, utilizing numerous statistical approaches to measure degree of agreement, and identifying many factors that moderate agreement.

Bottom-up paradigms prioritize empirical data from which to derive conceptualizations of psychopathology. These paradigms use multivariate statistics to identify syndromes of problems that tend to co-occur plus higher-order groupings such as those designated as internalizing and externalizing. Bottom-up assessment instruments obtain self-ratings and collateral ratings of behavioral, emotional, social, and thought problems and strengths for ages 1½–90+. Ratings of population samples provide norms for syndrome and higher-order scales for each gender, at different ages, rated by different informants, in relation to multicultural norms. The normed assessment instruments operationalize the empirically derived syndromes and higher-order groupings for applications to clinical services, research, and training. Because cross-informant agreement is modest and no single informant provides comprehensive assessment data, software compares ratings by different informants. Top-down paradigms prioritize conceptual representations of the nature and structure of psychopathology, as exemplified by psychodynamic, DSM/ICD, and HiTOP paradigms. Although these paradigms originated with observations, they tend to prioritize conceptual representations over empirical data.

“…If necessary, the translation procedures were adjusted and repeated to correct any errors. The data collected using this Chinese translation of the ASR and ABCL also contributed to the previous multi-society studies referenced earlier [12][13][14][15].…”

“…After excluding those Ivanova samples that were demographically limited, Rescorla et al [ 14 , 15 ] analyzed ASRs from 18 societies (N = 12,217), ABCLs from 14 societies (N = 8322), and ASR–ABCL cross-informant agreement for 14 societies (N = 8302). Notable similarities were present, but cultural differences were also apparent.…”

Given the global public health burden of mental illness, there is a critical need for culturally validated psychopathology assessment tools that perform well in diverse societies. This study examines the psychometric properties of the Adult Self-Report (ASR) and Adult Behavioral Checklist (ABCL) from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessments in adults in China. Chinese adults (N = 1276) and their spouses completed the ASR and ABCL, respectively. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis on 99 ASR items and 93 ABCL items. Estimators of model fit confirmed that both measures demonstrated excellent fit (e.g., root mean square error of approximation = 0.016 and 0.018, respectively). Syndrome loadings on both measures were satisfactory but generally higher on the ASR. Neither gender nor education had significant effects, but there were informant x gender effects on most problem scales. Cross-informant agreement correlations between the ASR and ABCL were medium to large. Findings from this novel sample of Chinese adults are consistent with previous validation studies supporting the dimensionality, syndrome structure, gender differences, and inter-informant agreement of the ASR and ABCL. Our findings contribute to the cross-cultural understanding of mental health assessment and offer a psychometrically sound approach to measuring adult psychopathology in Chinese populations.
