Résumé
L’objectif de la présente étude est de déterminer dans quelle mesure deux sources d’information, en l’occurrence les parents et les enfants, répondent de façon identique à des items communs portant sur la vie familiale. Plus d’un millier de couples de répondants parents/enfant se sont ainsi positionnés par rapport à une centaine d’items. Dans la plupart des cas, les analyses de concordance menées mettent en évidence le faible degré d’accord entre les deux sources d’information. Les écarts observés peuvent être expliqués par différents facteurs : sujet traité, écart systématique entre parents et enfants, fréquence des comportements-cibles et âge des enfants.
Mots-clés :
- Degré de concordance,

Abstract
The aim of this study to verify if two sources of information (parents and children) respond similarly to common items on family life. More than a thousand parent/child pairs responded to a hundred items. In most cases, correlation analysis shows a low level of agreement between the two sources of information. Differences can be explained by several factors: subject matter, systematic gap between parents and children, frequency of target behaviors and age of children.
Keywords:
- Rater agreement,
- information sources,
- Kappa,
- polychoric correlation,
- educational family practices
Resumo
O objectivo do presente estudo é determinar em que medida duas fontes de informação (pais e crianças) respondem do mesmo modo a itens comuns sobre a vida familiar. Mais de um milhar de pares de pais/criança responderam a uma centena de itens. na maior parte dos casos, as análises de concordância realizadas evidenciam o fraco grau de acordo entre as duas fontes de informação. As diferenças observadas podem ser explicadas devido a diferentes factores: o assunto tratado, a diferença sistemática entre pais e filhos, a frequência dos comportamentos-alvo e a idade das crianças.
