[How reliable is parental disclosure?].

Research on the reliability and validity of retrospective and actual reports of parents is reviewed. Parents seem to be able to report birth weight, age at first walking alone and academic achievement reliably. Correlations between developmental or intelligence test results and parental estimates are moderate to high. Reports of psychopathological symptoms differ considerably between groups of informants. Item content and method can influence the reliability and validity. A general tendency to overestimate their own child could not be demonstrated.

[Testing the German versions of the temperament questionnaires developed by Carey and assistants].

In a longitudinal study of 139 children, the children's parents filled out the Infant Temperament Questionnaire when the children were 7 months old and the Toddler Temperament Scale when they were 15 months old. Several of the means and standard deviations differed significantly from the corresponding values of the American standardization. The results concerning the internal structure, the stability of the scale values and the correlations with external variables, on the other hand, agreed quite well with those of the American studies.

[Problems with developmental diagnostic procedures].

After mentioning historical origins of developmental diagnostics, the present article focuses on some of the problems attached to procedures used in developmental diagnostics, as for example the Denver Scales well known and widely distributed in the Federal Republic of Germany, the Münchener Funktionelle Entwicklungsdiagnostik (Munich Functional Developmental Diagnostics), and the Federal Early Diagnostic Program for early discovery of developmental disorders. From this, criteria for the construction and evaluation of developmental tests are derived.
