Introduction to the Special Section: More Than Measurement Error: Discovering Meaning Behind Informant Discrepancies in Clinical Assessments of Children and Adolescents (2011, background): “However, inconsistencies commonly arise across these reports (hereafter referred to collectively as “informant discrepancies”; De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2004 , 2005 ).”
Making Sense of Multiple Informants in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (2007, background): “As De Los Reyes and Kazdin (2005) recently noted, the issue of child age has been treated somewhat inconsistently in the literature.”
Reactive and Regulative Temperament in Youths: Psychometric Evaluation of the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (2009, background): “Second, it is also possible that parents have too little insight in the hidden elements of their child’s temperament (Achenbach et al. 1987; De Los Reyes and Kazdin 2005).”
Maternal Dysphoric Mood, Stress, and Parenting Practices in Mothers of Head Start Preschoolers: The Role of Experiential Avoidance (2011, background): “While only a small percentage of our sample endorsed clinical elevations in depressive symptoms, depressed mothers have been shown to provide mood-consistent ratings about their children and parenting (De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005 ; Richters, 1992 ).”
Discrepancies Between Parent-Child Reports of Internalizing Problems Among Preadolescent Children: Relationships with Gender, Ethnic Background, and Future Internalizing Problems (2011, background): “Second, discrepancy scores were calculated by subtracting the standardized CBCL Anxious/ Depressed subscale score from the standardized SDIC score, as is recommended by De Los Reyes and Kazdin (2004).”
School Functioning in Youth With and Without Anxiety Disorders: Comparisons by Diagnosis and Comorbidity (2010, neutral): “Evidence suggests (Cai, Kaiser, & Han- cock, 2004; De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005) that teacher reports are often quite different from those provided by parents.”
The Validity of the Multi-Informant Approach to Assessing Child and Adolescent Mental Health (2015, neutral): “Specifically, a great deal of research has focused on testing whether low versus high crossinformant correspondence reflects constructs other than contextual variations in displays of patients' concerns (for reviews, see Achenbach, 2006; De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005; Kraemer et al., 2003).”
Prevalence, correlates and treatment of lifetime suicidal behavior among adolescents: Results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication – Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A) (2013, methodology): “Parent reports were also obtained and were combined with adolescent reports to derive DSM-IV diagnoses for the 4 disorders shown in prior research to benefit most from inclusion of parental reports: MDD/DYS, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disord”
Parenting and Friendship Quality as Predictors of Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms in Early Adolescence (2010, background): “Moreover, parents may diminish their child’s behavior problems in order to enhance the social desirability of responding ( De Los Reyes and Kazdin 2005 ), and therefore the inclusion of teacher reports of child behavior may further inform the nature of these associations.”
Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview: development, reliability, and validity in an adolescent sample. (2007, neutral): “De Los Reyes, A., & Kazdin, A. E. (2005).”
Concurrent Validity and Informant Agreement of the ADHD Module of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV (2007, background): “Unfortunately, the inclusion of child information has posed significant problems, as researchers have reported significant disagreement among child, parent, and teacher informants ( De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005; Grills & Ollendick, 2002; Jensen et al., 1999).”
