Interviewing Children about Their Families: A Note on Data Quality.

Amato, Paul R.; Ochiltree, Gay

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v49 n3 p669-75 Aug 1987

Used data from 195 children and 207 adolescents to assess and compare quality of data from those age groups. Interviewer rating of child's behavior, quantity of missing data, and percentage of agreements between parents and children on objective family characteristics all suggest that quality of data was high for children and significantly higher for adolescents than for children.
