Resumo: Retrospective self-reports are a common procedure in psychology. The aim of the present study was to analyze, in a large sample of not institutionalized young adults, the consistency of their reports on several childhood experiences (victimization, fears, learning difficulties), by contrasting them with concurrent reports provided by their parents and/or teachers. Results showed a significant relationship between participants` retrospective self-reports and concurrent information provided by other sources, with the exception of childhood fears. The size of that relationship varied between poor and average. Accordingly, it is recommended that studies using retrospective self-reports provide a measure of the relationship betweenreports, as well as a size measure, so that the quality of inferences based on these reports could be more easily evaluated.

Neste estudo, analisou-se, em uma amostra de adultos jovens não institucionalizados, a consistência desses relatos sobre diversas experiências da infância (vitimação, medos, dificuldades de aprendizagem), confrontando-os com os relatos atuais dos seus pais e/ou professores. Os resultados mostraram uma relação significativa entre os relatos retrospetivos dos próprios participantes e as informações atuais fornecidas pelas outras fontes, exceto para os medos na infância. A magnitude dessa relação variou entre pequena e média. Com base nesses resultados, sugere-se que, nos estudos que recorram a relatos retrospetivos e atuais,indiquem-se medidas de relação entre relatos, bem como a sua magnitude, de modo a melhor se avaliar a qualidade das inferências baseadas nesses relatos.
