Parent-Teacher Agreement On Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome Symptoms In School-Age Children
Aim: This study examined how well parent and teacher reports are concordant in evaluating Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) symptoms in school-age children. Method: The epidemiological sample consisted of 268 randomly chosen children aged 7 to 11 from four metropolitan cities in Turkey. Both parents and teachers evaluated the children by completing the Barkley Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale- Children and Adolescents (BSCTS-CA) and the CDS-Child Behavior Checklist (CDS-CBCL). Agreement and correlations between parent and teacher reports regarding CDS were assessed via coefficients of Cohen’s Kappa (k) and Spearman’s Rho (r). Results: Parents were not in agreement with teachers concerning the presence/absence of CDS (k=0,143, p=0,042 according to BSCTS-CA evaluation; k=0,039, p=0,366 according to CDS-CBCL evaluation). However, parent and teacher ratings on CDS-daydreaming and CDS-sluggish scores of BSCTS-CA showed medium correlation (r=0,375, r=0,305; respectively; all p
