Parent Ratings of the Behaviors of Normal Male and Female Children with One Child per Family versus Cross-Sex Siblings.

Duncan, Pam; Kilpatrick, Doreen L.

Child Study Journal, v21 n2 p95-117 1991

Parents rated their children on two behavioral rating scales that were designed to evaluate problem and antisocial behaviors. When rating only one child, parents agreed in rating sons' behaviors. Differences were found in mothers' and fathers' prosocial behavior ratings of daughters. When parents rated one child of each sex, no differences in parent ratings were found. (GLR)
