Abstract | Adults appear to have different perceptions of a child when rating a child on the Barber Scales of Self-Regard based on correlation coefficients between different sets of adults (parents and teachers). It is the purpose of this study to explore at greater depth the differences between mother and father as to the way they perceive their child. Do they agree or disagree--and to what extent--when they each rate their preschooler on the Scales of Self-Regard? Results of this study show that when parents rate their child on the Barber Scales of Self-Regard, disagreements can be expected. Disagreements vary from Scale to Scale. Mother or father does not consistently rate higher on any of the Scales, with the exception of the Scale "Children's Responses to Requests" where mothers appear to be the higher rater. There is some clue that slight differences between parent raters occur more frequently with female children than with male children. Although differences can be expected, the results of this study indicate that differences are for the most part by only one-scale point. Perhaps both parents are correct and the child is, in reality, somewhere in between the levels described by the scale points. (Author/MV) |
