“…De Los Reyes et al 2010;Renk et al 2008) has strived to better understand the meaning of and individual characteristics related to discordance and determine whether the study of discordance may provide important information about child and adolescent psychopathology. Indeed, the majority of work concerning discordance has focused on discrepancies in ratings of children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors (e.g., Ehrlich et al 2011;Renk et al 2008; for a review see Achenbach et al 1987). Fewer studies have examined discordance between parents and children in their ratings of parenting.…”

“…De Los Reyes and Kazdin 2005; Renk et al 2008), few studies have examined discordance between parents and children in their ratings of parental behavior. Investigation of parenting is important given that parenting behaviors have been clearly and consistently been shown to be related to adolescents' behaviors and mental health (e.g.…”

“…In their study of cross-informant ratings, Renk et al (2008) argued that communication between parents and adolescents may be a key factor influencing parents' perceptions of their adolescents' emotional and behavioral functioning. Further, parent-child discordance in ratings of adolescent mental health is highest among adolescents whose relationships with their parents are characterized by insecurity of attachment (Berger et al 2005;Ehrlich et al 2011).…”

“…Studies examining the unique contributions of parent and adolescent reports to outcomes of interest and the extent to which associations between parents' and adolescents' ratings and outcomes may differ have tended to rely on correlations among raters' mean scale scores (see Achenbach et al 1987, for review; or more recently Renk et al 2008).…”

The phenomenon of discordance between parents' and children's ratings of the child's mental health symptoms or of parenting behavior until recently has been treated as a problem of reliability. More recent work has sought to identify factors that may influence discordance, yet much remains to be learned about why informants' ratings of developmental phenomena are discordant and the meaning of such discordance. This study examined the extent to which discordance can be treated as a measure of the difference between two equally valid perceptions, and as such an indicator of the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship. One category of concordance and three patterns of discordance were derived from item-level differences in ratings of affection, control, and punitiveness provided by a diverse sample (53% female; 46% Hispanic-American, 35% African-American, 15% European-American, 4% another race/ethnicity) of 484 adolescents aged 12-20 years (M = 15.67, SD = 1.72) and their parents. Over and above adolescents' and parents' independent ratings of parenting, the discordance between these ratings was found to predict adolescent reports of anxiety and conduct disorder symptoms, as well as the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship. This was particularly true when adolescents and parents were discordant in their ratings of affection and when adolescents rated their parents higher on affection than did parents themselves. Implications of these findings and future research directions are discussed.

“…This is specifically problematic considering that parents and adolescents often report different perceptions (Renk et al 2008;Vierhaus and Lohaus 2008). On the other hand, it has been frequently found that adolescents more accurately report about their relationships than parents with respect to unpleasant aspects and that adolescents' perceptions regarding conflict are more likely to match reports from independent observers (Collins and Laursen 2004).…”

This 4-wave longitudinal study examines developmental changes in adolescents' perceptions of parent-adolescent relationships by assessing parental support, conflict with parents, and parental power. A total of 951 early adolescents (50.4% boys) and 390 middle adolescents (43.3% boys) participated. Univariate and multivariate growth curve analyses showed that support declined from early to middle adolescence for boys and girls and increased from middle to late adolescence for girls, while stabilizing for boys. Conflict was found to temporarily increase during middle adolescence. Parental power (relative power and dominance of parents) decreased from early to late adolescence. Results indicated that: (1) parent-adolescent relationships become more egalitarian during adolescence, (2) parents perceived by adolescents as powerful are viewed as supportive, especially in early adolescence, and (3) perceived conflict with parents is related to but not an impetus for changes in parent-adolescent relationships towards more equality.
