Would a parent and teenager rate openness in the same conversation alike?
Paired reports permit examination of how an instrument distinguishes communication strengths and difficulties across respondents.
Who was studied?
German-speaking adolescents and their parents who completed communication scales
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- Would a parent and teenager rate openness in the same conversation alike?
- What evidence supports the reliability and validity of the measure for these particular respondents?
- Which features of the study population (german-speaking adolescents and their parents who completed communication scales) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
Factor analyses tested how a German-language scale behaved in parent-adolescent pairs. Agreement between questionnaire items does not by itself show how a family handles a difficult conversation.
