Summary/Abstract: Research on children‘s quality of life is increasingly focused on the new design when the questionnaires are filled out not only by parents but also by children. However, there is a problem in how to evaluate the disagreement in dyadic children’s and parents’ reports. Our research was carried out with 1564 children/adolescents and parents who completed the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire in Lithuanian. Our paper calls into question the monitoring of dyadic disagreements as lacking conceptual perspective and addresses self-rated health as shedding systemic insights into the topic.
