Empirical research has shown only a slight to medium correspondence between the self-reports of
children and the reports of adults with regard to the children’ emotional problems. This
presentation examines the correspondence between the self-reports and the assessments of parents
regarding anxiety symptoms of their children using two DSM-IV-based rating scales. These
instruments were administered to 184 third- and fourth-grade elementary school children and one
parent of each child. We find low and medium intercorrelations between the self-reports of
children and the assessments of parents and lower symptom intensity for parents' reports in
particular for girls.
