“…In agreement with earlier findings, we can conclude that delinquent behavior and aggressive behavior tap different constructs and follow distinct developmental pathways (40, 41) insofar as they predict different outcomes. The longitudinal association between externalizing behavior and both later thought problems and somatic complaints have been reported before in young children (40)(41)(42)(43). However, until replicated in future studies that report up to adulthood, these results should be considered preliminary.…”

Reef J, Diamantopoulou S, van Meurs I, Verhulst F, van der Ende J. Child to adult continuities of psychopathology: a 24-year follow-up.Objective: To determine continuities of mental health problems of children across a 24-year follow-up period. Method: In 1983, parent ratings of emotional and behavioral problems were collected with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in a general population sample of 2076 children. Twenty-four years later, 1365 participants completed Adult Self-Reports (ASR) to assess emotional and behavioral problems. Results: Of the participants who were classified as deviant in childhood, 22.2% were also classified as deviant in adulthood. Both homotypic and heterotypic continuity was found. Childhood aggressive, delinquent, and anxious ⁄ depressed problems were associated with most adult psychopathology. Attention problems did not predict later problems independently. Conclusion: Even though assessed with parent-reports in childhood and analogous self-reports in adulthood, and over a large period of 24 years, continuity of psychopathology was found from childhood into adulthood. Anxious ⁄ depressed problems, delinquent behavior and aggressive behavior in childhood are core predictors for adult psychopathology. Significant outcomes• Although we found continuity of psychopathology after 24 years, the great majority of children with emotional and behavioral problems is not at risk for adult problem behavior.• Three fundamental childhood predictors of adult psychopathology were found: aggressive, delinquent, and anxious ⁄ depressed problems.• Attention problems did not independently predict adult psychiatric problems. Limitations• Over 24 years, 33% of the original sample from 1983 was lost to follow-up.• Time dependent environmental covariates were not measured.

“…Furthermore, students who develop a diagnosable disorder often exhibit early indicators (Pihlakoski et al, 2006) that could be identified through systematic screening for emotional and behavioral risk.…”

The Emotional and Behavioral Screener (EBS) is a recently developed teacher-reported brief screening instrument for identifying students who are at-risk of an emotional or behavioral disorder (EBD). Although prior research supports the technical adequacy of scores from the EBS, there is a gap in the literature regarding strong evidence of the factor structure underlying EBS scores. This study investigated the latent structure of scores from the EBS in a sample of 646 elementary students who were rated by their teachers in a 2-week screening period. Single-factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and bifactor models were used to test the hypothesis that EBS scores are a measure of both overall emotional and behavioral risk and students’ externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Results supported a bifactor structure, in that scores from the EBS can be considered to represent a general factor (i.e., risk of EBD) and two group factors (i.e., externalizing and internalizing domains). Findings have implications for interpreting scores when using the EBS as a universal screener for the risk of EBD.

“…The notion that persistent aggressiveness in childhood can become violent behavior over time justifi es the need for it to be recognized early (Dessen & Szelbracikowski, 2006) so that, where necessary, appropriate intervention can be performed as soon as possible to promote child health (Pihlakoski et al, 2006). With regard specifi cally to children, the concern with controlling and minimizing aggressive behavior in order to avoid future behavioral problems is increasing.…”

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar o engajamento paterno como fator de regulação da agressividade em crianças de quatro a seis anos de idade. Cinquenta pais responderam a questionários sobre seu engajamento com os filhos e dados sociodemográficos e 26 educadoras responderam questionários acerca do desenvolvimento social das crianças. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e inferenciais. Constatou-se que os pais estão engajados com seus filhos e realizam com maior frequência atividades referentes a suporte emocional, disciplina e jogos físicos. O pai com maior jornada de trabalho é menos engajado e quanto mais ele se dedica aos cuidados básicos e às tarefas de casa, menos os filhos apresentam problemas de externalização. Políticas e programas de apoio ao envolvimento paterno são essenciais para a transformação e consolidação da responsabilidade masculina com relação aos filhos e para a prevenção da agressividade persistente.
