Description
Summary:This study investigated interparent agreement of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory for 44 clinic-referred families. Moderate to strong associations between maternal and paternal reports were found for both the Intensity and Problem Scales. Mothers rated their children's disruptive behavior as more frequent and problematic than did fathers. However, strong evidence for cross-informant reliability was obtained. Interparent reliability coefficients were comparable to those previously reposted for other widely-used parent report measures of child behavior problems. Classification rates into conduct problem and non-conduct problem groups for maternal versus paternal reposts were presented.
