Gender differences in cross-informant discrepancies in aggressive and prosocial behavior: A latent difference score analysis.

= 261) CIDs were explored using latent difference score (LDS) modeling. CIDs in prosociality (β = -.15) and aggression (β = .14) were predicted by child gender after adjusting for a range of covariates. Males reported more aggression than was attributed to them by teachers whereas females reported less aggression than was attributed to them. Both genders reported more prosociality than was attributed to them, with a larger discrepancy for males. Accounting for gender-related informant differences could help improve assessments used to ascertain whether clinically significant problems are present.
