“…Those findings contrast other studies, which showed that adolescents reported more internalizing Table 5 Post-hoc differences between CBCL and YSR using paired t tests Gender and externalizing problem behavior than their parents [34,35]. Sample characteristics might be able to explain the differences between our study and previous ones.…”

“…Sample characteristics might be able to explain the differences between our study and previous ones. Most of the earlier studies assessed parentyouth agreement among the general population [12,24,35]. For example, Phares and Danforth [31] assessed adolescent and adult reports of distress over clinically referred adolescents' problems and found that parents were more bothered by both, internalizing and externalizing behaviors than adolescents.…”

“…When multiple informants, however, provide information, discrepancies among them are to be expected [20]. Many researchers have reported significant discrepancies between youth-reported and parent-reported psychopathology in children and adolescents [5,12,16,23,24,29,34,35].…”

“…It has been argued that externalizing problems are more openly observable and directed at others. Internalizing problems, however, are reported more often by children and adolescents themselves and are only poorly recognized by their parents [10,20,35].…”

Objective: The study examined parent-youth agreement regarding reports on psychopathology among adolescents suffering from psychiatric disorders. Method: A total of 1,718 patients between the age of 11 and 18, as well as their parents, were assessed using the child behavior checklist (CBCL), and the youth self-report (YSR). Results: Poor to low agreement between parent- and adolescent-reported problem behavior on the internalizing scale, the total problem scale and moderate agreement concerning the externalizing scale of the CBCL and the YSR were found. Independent from the amount of psychiatric diagnoses, adolescents reported significantly less behavioral problems than their parents. Concerning externalizing problems, parent-youth disagreement was stronger for patients suffering from comorbid psychiatric disorders, than for adolescents displaying only one psychiatric disorder. Conclusion: In clinically referred children, parents are likely to emphasize the severity of the difficulties, whereas adolescents’ under-report symptoms

“…Firstly, the use of multiple informants (e.g., mother and self-report) on measures of peer victimization and internalizing symptoms is infrequent. Agreement between different informants on emotional and behavioral problems or victimization is typically low Sourander et al 1999). However, if victimization reports from different informants show a consistent relationship to later internalizing problems this substantially adds to the validity of a causal relationship between both (Rønning et al 2009).…”

Traumatic childhood experiences have been found to predict later internalizing problems. This prospective longitudinal study investigated whether repeated and intentional harm doing by peers (peer victimization) in childhood predicts internalizing symptoms in early adolescence. 3692 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), as well as their mothers and teachers, reported on bullying in childhood (7-10 years) and internalizing problems in early adolescence (11-14 years). Controlling for prior psychopathology, family adversity, gender and IQ, being a victim of bullying was associated with higher overall scores, as well as increased odds of scoring in the severe range (>90 th percentile) for emotional and depression symptoms. Victims were also more likely to show persistent depression symptoms over a 2-year period. These associations were found independent of whether mothers, teachers or the children reported on bullying. It is concluded that peer victimization in childhood is a precursor of both short-lived and persistent internalizing symptoms, underlining the importance of environmental factors such as peer relationships in the etiology of internalizing problems.

Parent-adolescent agreement on emotional and behavioral problems

Abstract: Many adolescents in need of psychiatric assessment do not receive appropriate help because their problems remain unnoticed by adults. Internalizing problems among girls seem especially likely to remain unrecognized by adults.
