Description

Preserve explicitly supplied child and parent item responses as separate sources.

Developmental research records separate actual observations, coder presence, task versions, response states, caregiver reports and exposure counts. Calendar age differs from developmental status, while a symbol match or parent-teacher rating gap is only a recorded comparison. Pseudonyms and supplied source labels do not themselves protect identity or validate evidence.

Preserve explicitly supplied child and parent item responses as separate sources.

When to use this tool

Use Child Report Parent Report Source Pair when you already have itemId, childResponse, parentResponse and need to preserve explicitly supplied child and parent item responses as separate sources.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter itemId, childResponse, parentResponse. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter itemId, childResponse, parentResponse using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

{
  "input": {
    "itemId": "I17",
    "childResponse": "yes",
    "parentResponse": "no"
  },
  "output": {
    "token": "[\"I17\",\"yes\",\"no\"]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without adjudicating agreement. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use the complete study or assessment method, observation records and context for developmental interpretation. Review task adaptations, reporter perspectives and data protection together; local counts, time gaps and status labels do not establish ability, diagnosis or suitable support.
