儿童和青少年，以及他们的父母，往往提供不同的评估方面的儿童和青少年的心理健康。本研究旨在探讨影响母亲与儿童/青少年外化与内化问题行为报告差异的因素。重点是母亲的特点（母亲抑郁症，母亲养育压力，母亲的关系，他们的孩子的看法），可能会导致出现的差异。方法对1601名10 ~ 16岁的儿童和青少年以及1119名母亲进行了实证研究，探讨了母亲特征与信息提供者差异之间的时间关系，并在6个月后进行了重复评估。结果多元回归分析表明，母亲的养育压力和消极评价的母子关系是影响知情人差异的重要因素。此外，研究结果提供了证据的双向影响之间的信息提供者的差异和母亲的特点（特别是母亲的抑郁和负面评价的母子关系）。所有与母亲特征的重要关系都局限于外化行为。结论研究结果表明，母亲的特定特征可能会影响母亲的解释，可以解释被调查者在外部化问题上出现差异的原因。相反，关于外化问题的线人差异预测产妇的特点。因此，举报人的差异和母亲的特征之间的相互关系似乎是可能的，应该是未来研究的主题。
Objectives Children and adolescents, and their parents, often provide divergent assessments with regard to children's and adolescents' mental health. This paper addresses influential factors regarding discrepancies between mothers' and children's/adolescents' reports on externalizing and internalizing problem behavior. The focus is on maternal characteristics (maternal depression, maternal parenting stress, and maternal perception of the relationship to their child) that may contribute to the emergence of discrepancies. Methods An empirical study with 1601 children and adolescents between the ages of 10 to 16 years, and 1119 mothers, was conducted addressing temporal relationships between maternal characteristics and informant discrepancies, with repeated assessments after 6 months. Results Based on polynomial regression, maternal parenting stress and negatively evaluated mother-child relationships proved to be the most important influential variables on the emergence of informant discrepancies. In addition, the results provided evidence for bidirectional influences between informant discrepancies and maternal characteristics (especially maternal depression and negative evaluations of the mother-child relationship). All significant relationships to maternal characteristics were restricted to externalizing behavior. Conclusions Findings suggest that specific maternal characteristics, which might influence maternal interpretations, explain the occurrence of informant discrepancies regarding externalizing problems. Conversely, informant discrepancies regarding externalizing problems predicted maternal characteristics. Accordingly, a reciprocal relationship between informant discrepancies and maternal characteristics seems likely and should be the subject to future research.
