评估儿童行为的常见程序是获得父母对孩子的评价。由于获得的评级是父母和孩子的函数，因此将孩子的表型与评级者的表型分开就成为一个重要的方法论问题。为了分析遗传和环境对儿童行为的影响，当多个评估者（例如两个父母）对多个孩子（例如双胞胎）进行评估时，可以找到解决方案。本文描述并说明了用于分析父母对儿童行为评分的简单 LISREL 模型。我们展示了如何将母亲和父亲对儿童的相同行为进行评分的假设与父母对相关行为进行评分的较弱替代方案进行对比。鉴于更强的假设，这似乎足以对儿童的内化行为问题进行评级，评级者偏差和不可靠性的贡献可能与行为遗传分析中变异的共享和非共享环境成分分开。
A common procedure for assessing children's behavior is to obtain parental ratings of the child. Since the ratings obtained are a function of both parent and child, disentangling the child's phenotype from that of the rater becomes an important methodological problem. For the analysis of genetic and environmental contributions to children's behavior, solutions to this are available when multiple raters, eg., two parents, rate multiple children, eg., twins. This paper describes and illustrates simple LISREL models for the analysis of parental ratings of children's behavior. We show how the assumption that mothers and fathers are rating the same behavior in children can be contrasted with the weaker alternative that parents are rating correlated behaviors. Given the stronger assumption, which appears adequate for ratings of children's internalizing behavior problems, the contribution of rater bias and unreliability may be separated from the shared and nonshared environmental components of variation in a behavior genetic analysis.
