Adolescents and their parents responded to the Roe-Siegelman PCR Questionnaire. Scores on the L-R dimension were compared for the respective parent's responses and the child's perception of each parent across 23 teacher ratings of the child's behavior. Results indicated that extrafamilial measures of the child's behavior were more highly related to: (a) the child's perception of each parent than to the parent's own report, (b) the mothers own report than to the father's own report, (c) the child's perception of father than the child's perception of the mother. In addition, the mother's own report accounted for variance in the teacher ratings not explained by the child's perception of the parents nor by the father's own report.
