“…This means that shared method variance may be inflating estimates of the relationship between RAgg and disagreeableness. In addition, although we know that parents can report quite accurately on their child's personality traits (Rothbart & Bates, 2006;Tackett, 2011) and RAgg (Keenan et al, 2008), it would be important to compare the information parents provide with other informants, as informant discrepancies are relatively common in personality pathology and psychopathology research in youth (De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2004;Tackett, Herzhoff, Reardon, Smack, & Kushner, 2013). The issue of informant discrepancies has not been investigated regarding RAgg specifically, and there may be meaningful information available (i.e., those youth with poorer self-other agreement may be more adept at hiding their perpetration from adults).…”

Low agreeableness features centrally in personality profiles of Cluster B personality disorder (PD) diagnoses, and it has been associated with relational aggression (RAgg; intentionally damaging others' social relationships). Researchers have hypothesized that RAgg may be a potential developmental precursor for Cluster B PDs. However, a dimensional approach to personality dysfunction is preferable to the categorical system found in the current diagnostic manual. To build a bridge between two disjointed literatures (categorical PDs and RAgg), the aim of this project is to detail how RAgg in youth is situated in the trait space represented by disagreeableness in a dimensional model of personality pathology. Caregivers of 911 youth (ages 6-18) reported on youth's RAgg and disagreeableness. We found that RAgg was most strongly related to three facets: Narcissistic traits, Hyperexpressive traits, and Dominance-Egocentrism traits. Overall, these findings provide support for RAgg as an early manifestation of personality pathology, particularly for narcissistic traits.

“…Our compilation of over 50 studies of self-other agreement on personality disorder reported a range of rank-order correlation sizes from r = .12 to r = .90, with a median of r = .35 (see Table 1). There are college, clinical, and community samples presenting a range of effect sizes from small (e.g., Tackett et al, 2013;Yalch & Hopwood, 2016;Zimmerman et al, 1988) to large (e.g., Coolidge et al, 1995;Few et al, 2013;Kelley et al, 2018;Miller et al, 2011).…”

The present chapter considers the factors important to self–other agreement on personality disorder, reviews the literature on this topic, and presents 3 meta-analyses with a total of 53 studies of self–other agreement on personality disorder (total N = 11,812). Meta-analyses were completed on 1) overall self–other agreement on personality disorder symptoms and traits, 2) self–other agreement on DSM personality disorders, and 3) self–other agreement on maladaptive personality traits measured dimensionally by the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). Overall median self-other agreement was r = .37. Self–other agreement on DSM PDs ranged from r = . 32 (dependent PD) to r = .51 (antisocial PD). Median self–other agreement was somewhat higher on the PID-5 maladaptive trait domains (r = .45), which is in line with prior estimates of the magnitude of self–other agreement on “normal” FFM trait domains.

“…Thus, the polynomial regression approach can generalize to examining changes in informant discrepancies over time. Further, the polynomial regression approach has been extended to understanding and interpreting informant discrepancies in other areas, including neuroscience, personality, and treatment (Fjermestad et al 2016;Meyer et al 2016;Tackett et al 2013). Other approaches possess similar capabilities and have been successfully implemented in the study of informant discrepancies.…”

Researchers commonly rely on adolescents' and parents' reports to assess family functioning (e.g., conflict, parental monitoring, parenting practices, relationship quality). Recent work indicates that these reports may vary as to whether they converge or diverge in estimates of family functioning. Further, patterns of converging or diverging reports may yield important information about adolescent adjustment and family functioning. This work is part of a larger literature seeking to understand and interpret multi-informant assessments of psychological phenomena, namely mental health. In fact, recent innovations in conceptualizing, measuring, and analyzing multi-informant mental health assessments might meaningfully inform efforts to understand multi-informant assessments of family functioning. Therefore, in this Special Issue we address three aims. First, we provide a guiding framework for using and interpreting multi-informant assessments of family functioning, informed by recent theoretical work focused on using and interpreting multi-informant mental health assessments. Second, we report research on adolescents' and parents' reports of family functioning that leverages the latest methods for measuring and analyzing patterns of convergence and divergence between informants' reports. Third, we report research on measurement invariance and its role in interpreting adolescents' and parents' reports of family functioning. Research and theory reported in this Special Issue have important implications for improving our understanding of the links between multi-informant assessments of family functioning and adolescent adjustment.
