研究目的-儿童关于其父母社会经济地位（SES）指标的代理报告要么被不加批判地使用，要么被视为无效。本文通过比较青少年报告与父母自己报告的SES来检验青少年报告的有效性。设计、设置和参与者--在1990年，924名13奥尔兹的青少年，连同他们的父亲沿着的648名和他们的母亲的735名，参加了挪威纵向健康行为研究的基线调查。父母职业的数据收集自青少年和父母在基线，而父母教育的数据收集在随访时，从青少年在15岁时，从他们的父母，当青少年是19岁。主要结果-三种不同的方式分组的SES类别的基础上的职业数据进行了调查，和强度的协议是好的，为所有三个群体，Kappa统计值范围为0.65至0.86。从15岁到13岁的青少年数据相比，没有显着改善的协议。青少年与父母报告的父母教育程度的一致性强度是公平的;父亲和母亲的教育程度的K统计量分别为0.30和0.38。未分类的答案或没有回答的比例从青少年的职业和教育的问题是相似的，从11%到16%.Conclusions青少年和父母的SES报告之间的协议基于职业被认为是好的，但增加一些具体的问题可能会提示青少年提供更详细的信息，从而减少了未分类回答或无应答者的数量。
Study objective-Children's proxy reports on indicators of their parents' socioeconomic status (SES) have either been used uncritically or dismissed as invalid. This paper examines the validity of young adolescents' reports of parental SES by comparing adolescent reports with parents' own reports of SES.Design, setting and participants-In 1990, 924 13 year olds, along with 648 of their fathers and 735 of their mothers, participated in the baseline survey of The Norwegian Longitudinal Health Behaviour Study. Data on parental occupation were collected from both adolescents and parents at baseline, while data on parental education were collected at follow up from the adolescents at age 15 and from their parents when the adolescents were 19 years old.Main results-Three different ways of grouping the SES categories based on occupational data were investigated, and the strength of agreement was good for al three groups, with kappa statistics ranging from 0.65 to 0.86. There were no significant improvements of agreement when comparing adolescent data from age 15 to adolescent data from age 13. The strength of agreements between the adolescents' and parents' reports of parental education were fair; K statistics were 0.30 and 0.38 for fathers' and mothers' education, respectively. The proportions of unclassified answers or no responses from the adolescents were similar for questions on occupation and education, and ranged from 11% to 16%.Conclusions-The agreement between adolescents' and parents' reports of SES based on occupation was judged to be good, but adding a few specific questions may cue the adolescent to provide more detailed information, thereby reducing the numbers of unclassified answers or non-responders.
