专节文章说明了举报人差异的重要性。它们还说明了差异带来的挑战，以及推进研究和实践的机会。本评注涉及这些贯穿各领域的问题：(A)除对儿童问题进行评级外，差异还影响许多类型的评估。(B)症状模型使差异带来的挑战复杂化。(C)提供信息的差异有效地反映了受遗传和环境影响的儿童功能的不同方面。(D)需要进行多源评估，以测试和完善诊断结构。(E)评级变量的种类和评估一致性的方式产生了方法学问题。(F)评估需要基于年龄、性别、举报人和社会的规范。(G)发展水平影响可以评估什么、由谁评估、在什么情况下评估以及为什么目的评估。(H)需要以研究为基础的算法，以便使用多信息者数据来评估个人。
The special section articles demonstrate the importance of informant discrepancies. They also illustrate challenges posed by discrepancies, plus opportunities for advancing research and practice. This commentary addresses these cross-cutting issues: (a) Discrepancies affect many kinds of assessment besides ratings of children's problems. (b) Symptom models complicate challenges posed by discrepancies. (c) Informant discrepancies validly reflect different genetically and environmentally influenced aspects of children's functioning. (d) Multisource assessment is needed to test and refine diagnostic constructs. (e) Methodological issues arise from the kinds of variables that are rated and ways of evaluating agreement. (f) Assessment requires age-, gender-, informant-, and society-based norms. (g) Developmental levels affect what can be assessed, by whom, in what contexts, and for what purposes. (h) Research-based algorithms are needed for using multi-informant data to assess individuals.
