为了了解青少年躯体变化的意义及其对行为可能产生的影响，发展主义者已经开始详细研究成熟的时间和状态。由于需要通过医生检查获得体细胞生长数据，这方面的努力受到了阻碍。在本研究中，将 3 种评估第二性征发育的自我报告方法与医生的评估进行了比较；还评估了自我报告的身高和体重的准确性。具体来说，151 名 11 岁、12 岁和 13 岁的女孩使用 5 个坦纳阶段的示意图评估了她们的乳房和阴毛发育情况，并填写了青春期发育量表 (PDS)；他们的母亲还使用坦纳阶段示意图对女儿的发育进行评价。自我评分与医生 Tanner 评分的相关性为 0.82，母亲评分与医生 Tanner 评分的相关性为 0.85，PDS 自我报告的相关性在 0.61 至 0.67 之间。自我报告和实际报告的体重和身高的相关性分别为 0.98 和 0.75。讨论了 PDS、Tanner 评分以及自我报告的身高和体重作为青春期发育的充分估计的有用性。
To understand the meaning of somatic changes to the adolescent and their possible effects on behavior, developmentalists have begun to examine maturational timiing and status in detail. Efforts have been hampered by the necessity of obtaining somatic growth data by physician examination. In the present study, 3 self-report methods for rating secondary sexual characteristic growth were compared to physician ratings; the accuracy of self-reported height and weight also was assessed. Specifically, 151 11-, 12-, and 13-year-old girls rated their breast and pubic hair development using schematics of the 5 Tanner stages and filled out the Pubertal Development Scale (PDS); their mothers also rated their daughters'' development using the Tanner stage schematics. The correlation with physician Tanner ratings was .82 for self-ratings, .85 for ratings by the mother, and between .61 and .67 for self-reports on the PDS. The correlation for self- and actual reports of weight and height were .98 and .75, respectively. The usefulness of the PDS, Tanner ratings, and self-reported height and weight as adequate estimates of pubertal development is discussed.
