DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILDREN'S SELF-PERCEIVED AND TEACHER RATINGS IN TRAIT EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ANXIETY: IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP WITH SCHOLASTI…
2022
The construct of Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been studied as a potential predictor of psychological wellbeing and social interaction during childhood. Among the different possible EI formulations, some studies about Trait EI during development have also focused on its relationship with academic performance. One main limitation pertains the self-report nature of trait EI assessment tools. The use of cross-informant ratings has become an important aspect of research and clinical practice for those working with children and adolescents because potentially resulting in a less biased approach in the evaluation process. The present study is a cross informant design which involved 150 children…
Heterogeneity of executive functions among preschool children with psychiatric symptoms
2019
The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between internalizing and externalizing symptoms and deficits in executive functions (EF) as well as to examine the overall heterogeneity of EFs in a sample of preschool children attending a psychiatric clinic (n = 171). First, based on cut-off points signifying clinical levels of impairment on the parent-completed Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), children were assigned into groups of internalizing, externalizing, combined or mild symptoms and compared to a reference group (n = 667) with regard to day care teacher ratings of EFs on the Attention and Executive Function Rating Inventory-Preschool (ATTEX-P). Second, latent profile an…
Children's help seeking and impulsivity
2004
Abstract The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between students' (100 children aged 8 to 12) help-seeking behavior and impulsivity. Help-seeking behavior was evaluated using a naturalistic experimental paradigm in which children were placed in a problem-solving situation and had the opportunity to seek help from the experimenter, if needed. Impulsivity was analyzed using the Hyperactivity–Impulsivity Scale from the Teacher Rating Form of the Multidimensional Peer Nomination Inventory (TR-MPNI), Circle Tracing Task (CTT), Matching Familiar Figures (MFF), and Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness scales from the Eysenck Junior I 6 questionnaire. Structural equation modeling…
Problem behavior as a precursor of male criminality
1996
AbstractThe participants (originally 196 boys and 173 girls) in an ongoing longitudinal study were examined using peer nomination and teacher rating at ages 8 and 14 years. Criminal records were collected at age 27 years. The results showed that (a) criminal offenses were best predicted if the accumulation of behavior problems over the school years was considered; (b) the risk for different types of offenses was highest for boys who exhibited escalating conduct problems and school failure over the school years; (c) norm-breaking behavior in early adolescence was strongly related to a propensity to later criminal offenses; (d) childhood aggressiveness did not predict arrests without the pres…
