Teachers Reports of Preschoolers Behavior Problems

Current research examined the differences in behavior problems between boys and girls estimated by their teachers. Research included 240 children (125 boys and 115 girls who were five to seven years old) and their teachers. Behavior problems are measured by The Child Behavior Checklist – Teacher rating scale (Achenbach, 1991). We used six scales: somatic complaints, anxious/depressed, emotional reactiveness, withdrawn, attention problems and aggressive behavior. Boys as opposed to girls were perceived as more aggressive and with more attention problems. In this sample older boys are less aggressive and have less attention problems than younger boys. There were no significant differences between boys and girls on other scales (somatic complaints, anxious/ depressed, emotional reactiveness, withdrawn).
