为了理解青少年身体变化的意义及其对行为的可能影响，发展心理学家开始详细研究成熟的时间和状态。由于必须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，3个自我报告的方法来评估第二性征的增长进行了比较，医生的评级，自我报告的身高和体重的准确性也进行了评估。具体而言，151名11岁、12岁和13岁的女孩使用坦纳5个阶段的示意图评估她们的乳房和阴毛发育，并填写青春期发育量表（PDS）;她们的母亲也使用坦纳阶段示意图评估她们女儿的发育。与医生坦纳评分的相关性为0.82（自我评分）、0.85（母亲评分）和0.61至0.67（PDS自我报告）。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。PDS，坦纳评级，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进行了讨论。
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.
