A study carried out on a sample of 300 children between 3–6 years, using the same PKBS-2 test tool, found for children with an average age of 5 years, that the external behavioral aspects recorded an X ± SD = 1.293 ± 0.585, where p = 0.003, and internal behaviour problems X ± SD = 1.297 ± 0.568, where p = 0.001, results that align with the results identified in our study [ 54 ].…”

“…In line with our findings, we mention a study carried out on a Portuguese sample of 1030 children, of which 538 boys and 492 girls, aged between 3–6, where the Years Teacher Classroom Management (IY-TCM) training program was implemented and the entire PKBS questionnaire was applied; the study highlighted that on the social skills scale A, the number of children who shifted from the moderate or high- risk interval to the low-risk one was 8.7 times higher at the EG compared to those in the CG who moved in the opposite direction 6.0 times [ 53 ]. A study conducted using the same PKBS-2 instrument, on a sample of 300, taking into account the age of 5 years, recorded significant results, where p = 0.001 for all subscales of social skills, results that align with the results obtained in our study [ 54 ].…”
