关于儿童和青少年功能的线人差异的问题是临床医生，发展心理学家和其他人必须考虑如何处理不一致的信息报告的一个重要问题，但报告中的差异的原因一直知之甚少。青少年依恋和告密者的抑郁症状进行了检查，作为2个解释的绝对和方向的差异，青少年的症状，关系，和社会行为的样本中的189个11年级的学生（平均年龄= 16.5岁）。青少年依恋预测的绝对差异，更大的依恋一致性与较少的差异，青少年抑郁症状，父母-青少年冲突，和青少年外化行为的报告。父母而不是青少年的抑郁症状有时预测绝对差异。母亲的抑郁症状和青少年依恋预测的方向差异的母亲-同伴报告。
The issue of informant discrepancies about child and adolescent functioning is an important concern for clinicians, developmental psychologists, and others who must consider ways of handling discrepant reports of information, but reasons for discrepancies in reports have been poorly understood. Adolescent attachment and informant depressive symptoms were examined as 2 explanations for absolute and directional discrepancies about adolescent symptoms, relationships, and social behavior in a sample of 189 eleventh-grade students (mean age = 16.5 years). Adolescent attachment predicted absolute discrepancies, with greater attachment coherence associated with fewer discrepancies in reports of adolescent depressive symptoms, parent-adolescent conflict, and adolescent externalizing behavior. Parents' but not adolescents' depressive symptoms sometimes predicted absolute discrepancies. Mothers' depressive symptoms and adolescent attachment predicted the direction of discrepancies for mother-peer reports only.
