Zusammenfassung

Zur Verbesserung unseres Wissens über die Beziehungen zwischen somatischen Erkrankungen und Psychopathologie im Kindesalter benötigen wir standardisierte Verfahren zur Einschätzung von verhaltensbezogenen/emotionalen Störungen. Weil das Verhalten von Kindern in verschiedenen Situationen und mit verschiedenen Interaktionspartnern variiert, ist es notwendig, Daten aus unterschiedlichen Quellen zu gewinnen. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir einen allgemeinen Ansatz zur Einschätzung des Problemverhaltens und der Kompetenzen von Kindern vor, der auf eine Vielzahl von Situationen, Informanden und kulturellen Bedingungen anwendbar ist. Wir fassen Ergebnisse zusammen, die zeigen, daß die Eltern und Lehrerversionen der gleichen standardisierten Ratingformen sehr ähnliche Resultate in den Niederlanden und den USA aufweisen und daß interkulturelle Ähnlichkeiten in den Syndromen, die aus Elternratings stammen, die Generalisierbarkeit solcher Syndrome unterstützen. Interkulturelle Replikationen können zu dem kumulativen Wissen beitragen, das wir brauchen, um unsere Erkenntnisse über die verhaltensmäßigen/ emotionalen Reaktionen von Kindern auf körperliche Krankheiten zu erweitern.

Summary

To advance our knowledge of relations between somatic illnesses and childhood psychopathology, we need standardized procedures for the assessment and taxonomy of behavioral/emotional problems. Such procedures are also necessary for combining data from different cultures to enhance our understanding of the relation between physical illnesses and psychopathology. Because children’s functioning varies according to different situations and interaction partners, it is necessary to obtain data from multiple sources. Only a few studies investigating correlates of physical illness have used such methodology. In this article, we present a general approach to the assessment of children’s problem behavior and competencies that is applicable across a wide range of situations, informants, and cultural conditions. We summarize findings showing that parent and teacher versions of the same standardized rating forms produced very similar results across the Netherlands and the United States, and that cross-cultural similarities in syndromes derived from parent ratings supported the generalizability of such syndromes. Cross-national replications of the sort presented here can contribute to the cumulative knowledge needed to advance our knowledge of children’s behavioral/emotional responses to illness.
