SDQ (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire): identificação de características comportamentais de crianças leitoras

Abstract

RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar características comportamentais em crianças com desenvolvimento típico de leitura, utilizando o Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Este breve questionário é uma medida útil em psicopatologia aplicada a crianças e jovens de 4 a 16 anos. O SDQ é dividido em cinco sub-escalas: problemas no comportamento pró-social, hiperatividade, problemas emocionais, de conduta e de relacionamento. Participaram da pesquisa pais e professores de 74 crianças, que cursavam a 2 a , 3 a ou 4 a séries em uma escola pública de São Paulo. As crianças não apresentavam alterações no desenvolvimento geral e na linguagem, e nem problemas escolares. Pais e professores responderam ao questionário. As respostas ao SDQ diferiram entre pais e professores, e de acordo com o sexo e a série escolar das crianças. Estas diferenças podem refletir mudanças comportamentais e de comunicação, conseqüência de situações vivenciadas no período do desenvolvimento no qual se encontram.

This brief questionnaire is a useful measure in psychopathology applied to children and young people from 4 to 16 years.

The participants were parents and teachers of 74 children, attending 2 nd, , 3 rd , or 4 th grades in a public school in the city of São Paulo.

A recent study has evaluated different cutoffs for the Brazilian version of the SDQ (different from the ones used in the analyses for this manuscript).…”
