“…Parent report on the SCARED-P for youths with depression only did not exceed the clinical cut off however, suggesting that anxiety symptoms may have been more internally experienced by these youths and/or that depression was the predominant overt issue impairing functioning. There was some consistent discrepancy between youth and parent reports on the SCARED, which is common in self-report measures, including on the SCARED (Sequeira et al, 2019 ; van Doorn et al, 2018 ), though it did not fall outside the margin of error for the present sample. The frequency of youth and parent reported anxiety symptoms across all diagnostic categories underscores the utility of providing anxiety focused interventions and varied assessments for youths and parents in this setting.…”

Background Anxiety disorders are garnering increasing attention for their contribution to high-risk issues and functional impairment. Adolescents are typically admitted to partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) due to high-risk presentations. However, the frequency of anxiety disorders in PHPs is not well-established, in part because anxiety can be overlooked in acute settings due to limited lengths of stay and focus on stabilization. Objective This study aims to evaluate the frequency and severity of anxiety disorders among a sample of adolescent PHP patients to assess the need for anxiety-specific assessment and interventions in higher acuity settings. Methods Participants were 158 youths ages 13 to 19 years old ( M = 15.49 years, SD = 1.50) who were admitted to an adolescent PHP and their caregivers. Clinician-reported diagnostic information was collected from the youth’s electronic medical record, and self- and caregiver-rated severity of anxiety was collected using the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotions Disorders (SCARED-C/P). Frequency of anxiety and related disorder diagnoses and self- and caregiver-reported severity were assessed using descriptive statistical methods. Results 75% of participants were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (n = 118). On average, participants with anxiety disorders had elevated SCARED-C scores. Youths with depressive disorders had elevated SCARED-C scores even when they did not carry anxiety disorder diagnoses. Caregiver ratings of the youth’s anxiety symptoms on the SCARED-P were elevated when youths had anxiety disorders. Conclusions These findings suggest that anxiety is common in an adolescent PHP setting and support investing in evidence-based assessment and treatment of anxiety in high-acuity settings.

“…No obstante, la literatura indica que la variabilidad encontrada habitualmente entre distintos informantes puede deberse: al efecto del método de recogida de información (i.e. autoinformado vs. heteroinformado) (Neyer, 2006), a la accesibilidad a la información que cada fuente informante tiene según la naturaleza interna-privada versus externa-manifiesta del contenido a evaluar (Johnston y Murray, 2003;van Doorn et al, 2018), al mejor despliegue de ciertas conductas en unos contextos y no en otros (Achenbach et al, 2017;, a la concepción de cada informante sobre lo que constituye un comportamiento normal (Richters, 1992), al propio estado emocional del informante (Berg-Nielsen, Vika y Dahl, 2003) y/o a la diferencia en la percepción de las prácticas parentales o las relaciones entre padres/madres e hijos/as (Hoeve et al, 2009). La tendencia incrementada del valor absoluto de las correlaciones entre rechazo parental y desajuste psicológico que se ha hallado en este estudio es esperable, en parte, por el posible efecto sinérgico del ambiente familiar global de no-afecto y el rechazo parental, lo que además es congruente con estudios previos (Germán et al, 2013;Glicklich, 2014;McKee et al, 2007).…”

“…No tenemos una explicación sobre las diferencias en estos patrones específicos de relaciones y solo nos queda constatarlas. Si bien, las relaciones significativas encontradas exclusivamente entre rechazo parental y los problemas interiorizados cuando es el menor quien informa del ajuste, está en consonancia con aquellas investigaciones (Johnston y Murray, 2003;van Doorn et al, 2018) que justifican estos resultados por la naturaleza interna y privada de los problemas interiorizados, a los cuales los menores tienen el mejor acceso. Son también consistentes con los estudios que los ha mostrado a los menores como los mejores informantes frente a los padres y madres cuando se pretende predecir el desajuste a partir del rechazo parental (Izquierdo-Sotorrío et al, 2016).…”

Parental rejection and children’s psychological adjustment: The moderating role of perceived family warmth from a multi-informant perspective.Abstract: This study explores the moderating effect of children’s perceptions about family environment on the relation between parental acceptance and children’s psychological adjustment, from a multi-informant perspective. The sample consisted in 227 triads, father, mother and child from the same family (children’s mean age 12.52, Sd =1.81) divided in two groups based on children’s level of perceived family warmth. Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) was used to assess parental acceptance-rejection, and CBCL (Child Behavioral Checklist) and YSR (Youth Self Report) from Achenbach System were used to assess children’s psychological adjustment. Results showed that relations between parental rejection and adjustment depend on the informant used, and that the subjective perception of the child’s contextual affection moderated the effect of maternal rejection on exteriorized problems informed by the father. The need to include children, mothers, and fathers in the assessment of family relations and children´s psychological adjustment is highlighted.Key words: Multi-informant; parental acceptance-rejection; mother; father: children psychological adjustment.Resumen: El presente trabajo explora el efecto moderador de la percepción de niños y niñas sobre el ambiente familiar, desde una perspectiva multi-informante, en la relación entre rechazo parental y ajuste psicológico infantil. La muestra estuvo constituida por 227 triadas (padre, madre e hijo/a) de la misma familia (edad media de los menores 12.52 DT = 1.81). La aceptación-rechazo parental se evaluó mediante en PARQ (Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire) y el ajuste mediante el CBCL (Child Behavioral Checklist) e YSR (Youth Self-report). Los resultados mostraron diferencias en la asociación entre rechazo parental y ajuste condicionadas por la fuente informante, y que la percepción subjetiva del menor del afecto contextual moderaba el efecto del rechazo materno sobre los problemas exteriorizados informados por el padre. Se destaca la necesidad de incluir tanto a los propios menores como a sus padres y madres en la evaluación de las relaciones familiares y el ajuste psicológico infantil.Palabras clave: Multi-informante; aceptación-rechazo parental; madre; padre; ajuste psicológico infantil.

“…Furthermore, some studies revealed contradicting results for their anxiety disorders, such that parents showed somewhat higher agreement with their sons (Rapee et al, 1994). In contrast there was a higher agreement between mothers and their daughters (van Doorn et al, 2018). Other studies showed that parent-son agreement was significantly more substantial regarding behavioral disorders (Reich et al, 1982) and depressive symptoms (Angold et al, 1987).…”

This study aims to examine whether the level of agreement between mothers’ and children’s reports of children’s self-perception across different areas differ(s) by child gender and maternal educational level. The sample consisted of adolescents aged between 9 and 14 and their mothers (N = 270). Adolescents filled out Harter’s Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC; 2012) to assess their competence in different domains (e.g., social adjustment, school success). The instructions for SPCC were modified for mothers to evaluate their children’s perception of competence. The reports of mothers and their children were compared, and the results indicated low-to-moderate agreement between mothers-child dyads about children’s sense of competence. Second, children were found to have a higher global sense of self-worth and perceive themselves as more competent in social, behavioral, and athletic areas when compared to their mothers’ perceptions. Finally, it was determined that the agreement between the mother-child dyad differs by the mothers’ education level and the child’s gender. Accordingly, low-educated mothers perceived their children as less behaviorally competent than the children themselves did. Regarding social competence, the perception of low-educated mothers differed with their daughters but not with their sons. The results were discussed in view of the context of Turkish mothers’ socialization and gender role expectations.
