“…Furthermore, children who were more secure were also expected to evince greater resistance to false suggestions. Children's attachment insecurity was also expected to predict their behavior problems, consistent with previous research (e.g., Clarke-Stewart et al, 2003). Behavioral problems, in turn, were expected to be associated with increased memory errors.…”

“…Furthermore, studies link behavior problems to children's earlier attachment status. For example, Clarke-Stewart, Allhusen, McDowell, Thelen, and Call (2003) found that children's attachment insecurity assessed via Q-Sort at 2 years of age positively predicted their behavior problems as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) at both 3 and 5 years of age. Thus, it was predicted here that children with higher attachment security and lower attachment dependence would have less behavioral maladjustment.…”

“…The needs of children displaying internalizing issues are often overlooked, requiring greater inference because symptoms are not readily observed (Coyle et al 2003). Indeed, mothers often overestimate externalizing problems but underestimate internalizing problems in their children (Clarke-Stewart et al 2003). Despite the pervasiveness of externalizing difficulties in children (APA 2000) and their potential long-term effects (Loeber 1991), proportionally more mental health problems in adulthood reflect internalizing problems (Hartung and Widiger 1998).…”

Although considerable research has investigated parenting stress and children's externalizing behavior problems, comparatively less has considered parenting stress in relation to children's internalizing difficulties. Even less research on parenting stress has incorporated children's report of their internalizing symptoms or the potential mediating role of children's attributional style. The current study hypothesized that children's independent reports of internalizing symptoms would be associated with mothers' reports of parenting stress through children's attributional style. A community sample of 92 motherchild dyads participated. Results suggest maternal parenting stress from both child and parent sources were significantly associated with children's anxious and depressive symptoms. Parenting stress was associated with children's internalizing symptoms partially mediated by children's maladaptive attributional style, primarily negative attributions for positive outcomes. Findings are discussed in terms of future directions to tease apart specific areas of parenting stress that may be most pertinent as well as to explore other cognitive mechanisms in children that may relate to parenting stress and children's adjustment.

“…The different relation between the BSOS and mother and teacher reports of externalizing behaviour problems may relate to research indicating that parent reports of child behaviour problems frequently differ from those of other observers (Clarke-Stewart, Allhusen, McDowell, Thelen, & Call, 2003;de la Barra, Toledo, & Rodriguez, 2005;Doctoroff & Arnold, 2004;Fagot & Leve, 1998). This may due to factors such as measurement error, rater variance or the different environments in which different raters see the child behave (Greenbaum, Dedrick, Prange, & Friedman, 1994).…”

The behaviour style observation system for young children predicts teacher‐reported externalizing behaviour in middle childhood

The Behaviour Style Observation System for Young Children (BSOS) was used to predict preschool-aged children's externalizing and internalizing behaviour problems in middle childhood, 3-5 years after the initial assessment. This observational measurement tool was designed to sample and assess young children's disruptive, non-compliant, and unresponsive behaviour, during a brief (11 min) observation in the child's home. In the current study, the BSOS was used to predict parent and teacher ratings of child behaviour problems after school entry in a longitudinal sample (N 5 81) of at-risk children at time 2. The BSOS predicted teacher-reported externalizing problems at time 2. In contrast, parent reports of behaviour problems, although correlated with repeated parent reports at time 2, were not significantly predictive of teacher-reported behaviour problems at school age. The BSOS was not associated with either parent or teacher reports of internalizing problems. These findings emphasize the importance and utility of using observational measures when examining the continuity of behaviour problems in young children over time.
