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 (nGrade1&2 = 830; nGrade3&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？家长对孩子认知能力判断的准确性


父母对孩子认知能力的判断对于提供充足的学习环境非常重要。这项研究调查了 2346 名儿童的父母判断准确性（中号= 8.94 年； 48.3% 的女孩）及其父母（1283 名母亲、426 名父亲和 637 名父母对）。数据于 2012 年 9 月至 2014 年 2 月期间在德国收集。对总体样本和按年级进行了潜在回归分析（ n一、二年级= 830； n三、四年级= 1516）。作为调节因素，对儿童（性别、出生顺序）和父母（性别、社会经济背景）的特征进行了调查。儿童认知能力解释了家长判断差异的34%/25%/37%（总体样本/1&2年级/3&4年级）。判断更多地取决于儿童的学业成绩而不是认知能力。父母对儿子智力的判断比对女儿的智力更准确，对第一个孩子的智力判断比对最后一个孩子的智力更准确。受过高等教育的父母表现出更高的判断准确性。
