Mary K. Rothbart on Method - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 179 Method/developmental psychology/temperament/Rothbart: researchers have often been sceptical about using parents as informants about their children’s behaviour (e.g., Kagan and Fox 2006)(1). It has been felt that parental biases or lack of knowledge will yield measures that are invalid, with direct observation seen as a preferable method. However, considerable evidence indicates convergence between parent report and observational measures (Rothbart and Bates 2006)(2). >VsPiaget, >Developmental psychology. Because temperament reflects dynamic interactions between affective and cognitive processes and there are limitations to both questionnaire and observational methods, multitrait multimethod approaches to temperament assessment have been advocated whenever feasible (see Rothbart and Sheese 2006(3), for a discussion). >Temperament, >Observation. 1.
