This article investigates sex differences in the accuracy of young adults' retrospective reports of parental status using Joreskog's general framework for the simultaneous covariance structure analysis of multiple populations. Results indicate that young women's reports of maternal education are significantly more reliable than are young men's reports and that the reliabilities of reports ofpaternal traits are similar for young men and women.
