2021, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :At Wave 4, youth respondents' parents reported how they would describe their child's performance at school in the past 12 months. Parental report of a child's grades is adequately valid (Gilger, 1992). Response options ranged mostly A's (1) mostly F's (9) and included an option to indicate if their child's school was ungraded.
Diagnosis of developmental learning and attention disorders in adults: A review of clinical modalities
2017, Neurology Psychiatry and Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :All three scales address multiple aspects of dyslexia symptomatology: pronouncing new words, remembering words and names, difficulty writing, and self-diagnosis of dyslexia. Importantly, all three include components of both current difficulties and childhood difficulties, as recollection of early educational difficulties is significantly influenced by socioeconomic factors and is less reliable than report of current symptoms (Gilger, 1992). The major scales discussed here are the Adult Reading Questionnaire (ARQ), the Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ), and two new questionnaires developed by researchers in Sweden and the Netherlands, respectively (referred to below as SQ and NQ).

2012, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchCitation Excerpt :Students' grade averages were examined in addition to their involvement in extracurricular activities. Self-reported measures of academic performance have been previously shown to be valid reflections of actual school performance as assessed by academic grades (Gilger, 1992). Lifetime cigarette smoking was coded as either “never”, “occasionally”, or “regularly”.
