The object of this paper is to examine why agreement between parents and adolescents varies across topics in the way it does and why discrepancies take the particular form they do. Data from a large-scale survey of adolescents matched with independent reports from their parents (N=3,988) have been used to show that the level of dyadic agreement is influenced by the objectivity of the topic, its relation to social norms, and its salience to the respondents. Agreement is high when the topic is objective and unambiguous, and when it does not activate problems of social desirability or personal threat. Topics which refer to recent events produce slightly less agreement than less timebound topics when the topic is a potentially threatening one. The level of agreement does not change if the referent is changed from the parent, to the student, or to those outside the dyad
