Abstract:
Objective To explore agreement between parent-child report of self-rating scale of systemic family dynamics (SSFD),as well as factors that may influence the agreement.Methods SSFD was used to investigate the agreement between parent and child reports on family dynamics in a sample of 639 Chinese children aged 10 to 18 years from Mainland China,and possible influence factors.Results The results showed that there was significant difference between parent-child report of SSFD.The parents had significant lower score than their children at atmosphere,individuation and disease conception and had higher score at system logic (all P＜0.01).But the two still had significant positive correlation (correlations ranging from 0.15 to 0.38),indicating a low to moderate agreement between them(r=-0.15-0.38,all P＜0.01).The age factor was related to parent-children agreement on SSFD.Parent-child agreement was highest for family atmosphere,followed by individuation,system logic and disease conception.The age factor was related to parent-child agreement on SSFD.Conclusions Both parents' and children's reports of SSFD can be used to assess family dynamics,however,attention should be payed to the affection of parent-child report's difference and age factor to the results.
