Subjective and objective experiences of childhood adversity: a meta-analysis of their agreement and relationships with psychopathology
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘Researchers use both subjective self-report and objective measures, such as official records, to investigate the impact of childhood adversity on psychopathology.
