“…We also found more emotional and behavioural problems in rural than in urban adolescents. The result was consistent with one Chinese study (Shen et al 1985) but contrary to most studies in other settings (Rutter et al 1975;Connell et al 1982;Quinton 1988). This may be related to disadvantages in Chinese rural areas such as poverty, poor education and social environment (Yu et al 2005;Kinyanda et al 2011).…”

“…Epidemiological studies (Quinton, 1988) and criminal justice statistics (California Criminal Justice Statistics Center, 1995) report that children living in urban areas display more problem behaviors and commit more crimes than children living in suburban and rural areas. Media reports consistently portray youth in urban settings as violence-prone.…”

Multiple perceptions of children's aggression: Differences across neighborhood, age, gender, and perceiver

et al. 2001

We investigated how overtly aggressive behavior was differentially perceived by two types of perceivers, teachers and peers, as a function of student neighborhood, gender, and grade level. Participants (N ϭ 765) were predominantly African American students in grades 3 -5 recruited from two urban public schools in southern California. The neighborhoods surrounding the two schools differed in levels of identified violent crime and economic levels. Teachers in the community experiencing more violence perceived student behavior to be relatively less aggressive and more similar across genders than did teachers in the less violent community. Peers in the community experiencing more violent crime perceived both boys and girls to be somewhat aggressive, whereas in the less violent community, boys were perceived as aggressive more so than were girls. In general, agreement between teacher and peer perceptions was stronger for boys than for girls.

“…Conventional child mental health services have developed slowly in response to these trends and remain on too modest a scale to aid more than a minority of the populations at risk (Boyle & Offord, 1988). Indeed, even if rates of mental disorder were static, the numbers at risk, especially in inner cities (Quinton, 1988), would be in any case substantial (McArdle et al, 1995; Verhulst, van der Ende, Ferdinand, & Kasius, 1997). Consequently, there has been significant interest in the potential of large‐scale preventative interventions capable of promoting normal psychosocial development and of reducing risk of mental disorder (Offord, 1996).…”
