Parents' judgment of their children's cognitive ability is important for providing adequate learning environments. This study examined parents' judgment accuracy with 2346 children (M = 8.94 years; 48.3% girls) and their parents (1283 mothers, 426 fathers, and 637 parental pairs). The data were collected between September 2012 and February 2014 in Germany. Latent regression analyses were conducted for the overall sample and by grade (n_Grade1&2 = 830; n_Grade3&4 = 1516). Characteristics of the child (gender, birth order) and parents (gender, socioeconomic background) were investigated as moderators. Children's cognitive ability explained 34%/25%/37% (overall sample/Grade1&2/Grade3&4) of the variance in parental judgments. Judgments depended more on children's academic achievement than on cognitive ability. Parents judged their son's intelligence more accurately than their daughter's and first-born children more accurately than last-born children. Higher-educated parents showed higher judgment accuracy.

我的孩子有多聪明？父母对孩子认知能力的判断准确性


父母对孩子认知能力的判断对于提供适当的学习环境很重要。本研究对 2346 名儿童 （M = 8.94 岁;48.3% 的女孩） 及其父母 （1283 名母亲、426 名父亲和 637 对父母） 检查了父母的判断准确性。数据于 2012 年 9 月至 2014 年 2 月期间在德国收集。对总样本和按等级进行潜在回归分析 （n_Grade1&2 = 830;n_{等级 3&4} = 1516）。儿童 （性别、出生顺序） 和父母 （性别、社会经济背景） 的特征作为调节因素进行调查。儿童的认知能力解释了父母判断方差的 34%/25%/37% （总样本/1&2 年级/3&4 年级）。评判更多地取决于儿童的学业成绩，而不是认知能力。父母比女儿更准确地判断儿子的智力，长子比最后一个孩子更准确。受过高等教育的父母表现出更高的判断准确性。
