Stressful events early in life can affect children’s mental health problems. Collecting valid and reliable information about
children’s bad experiences is important for research and clinical purposes. This study aimed to (1) investigate whether mothers
and children provide valid reports of bullying victimization, (2) examine the inter-rater reliability between the two informants,
(3) test the predictive validity of their reports with children’s emotional and behavioral problems and (4) compare the genetic
and environmental etiology of bullying victimization as reported by mothers and children. We assessed bullying victimization
in the Environmental-Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study, a nationally-representative sample of 1,116 families with twins.
We collected reports from mothers and children during private interviews, including detailed narratives. Findings showed that
we can rely on mothers and children as informants of bullying victimization: both informants provided information which adhered
to the definition of bullying as involving repeated hurtful actions between peers in the presence of a power imbalance. Although
mothers and children modestly agreed with each other about who was bullied during primary and secondary school, reports of
bullying victimization from both informants were similarly associated with children’s emotional and behavioral problems and
provided similar estimates of genetic and environmental influences. Findings from this study suggest that collecting information
from multiple informants is ideal to capture all instances of bullying victimization. However, in the absence of child self-reports,
mothers can be considered as a viable alternative, and vice versa. 相似文献
