“…Yet both clinical and research efforts have been limited by measurement problems, including uncertainty about the comparability of assessment techniques across situations or with different rater groups. The behavior problem inventories of Edelbrock (1983, 1986) and Lessing (1976Lessing ( , 1979 are examples of instruments that have been developed for identifying behavior problems as seen by parents and by teachers. To date, however, most approaches to the assessment of competence have focused on the perceptions of parents or of teachers.…”

“…From a measurement perspective it should be noted that the interpretation of information from different sources assumes that the assessment techniques are comparable in constructs and content, thus allowing inferences about similarities and differences of findings. Some efforts have been directed at determining comparability of techniques for assessing behavior problems (Achenbach &Edelbrock, 1983Lessing, 1976Lessing, , 1979, yet there has been little work testing the comparability of competence instruments when used by different rater groups.…”

The purposes of this study were to test the replicability of the factor structure of the Health Resources Inventory (HRI) for teachers, to describe the factor organization of the HRI when used with parents, and to assess the strength of agreement between parents' and teachers' views of children's competence. Parents' ratings were available for 269 children (ages 4 to 12 years), and teachers' ratings were gathered for a subset of 102. Analysis of teachers' responses confirmed a 5-factor structure of the HRI. The factor structure for mothers closely mirrored that of teachers. The similarity of factor structure argues for the usefulness of the HRI in assessing children's competence at home and school. The relatively modest correlation between mothers' and teachers' ratings suggests possible setting differences in children's behavior and/or variance related to rater source.The emphasis in clinical psychology has traditionally been on pathology or problem development, but there is increasing interest in understanding the development and expression of competence (
