“…These usually include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, somatization, post-traumatic stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Balan et al, 2017;Boyraz et al, 2019). Externalized mental health problems include disruptive or inappropriate behaviors, such as Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity-Impulsivity, Anger Control Problems, Aggression, Defiant Behavior, and Antisocial Behavior (Jenson et al, 2011;Lewis et al, 2016;Van Heel et al, 2019;Bishop et al, 2020). The first two are sometimes considered to be specifically executive function problems (Re et al, 2015).…”

Background: Both the control that people attribute to themselves over a situation (locus of control) and the control they attribute to themselves (self-control) have been proposed as aspects that can have an effect on internalizing problems in young people. There is little evidence of this relationship in the infantile-juvenile population in Latin America. Objective: To establish whether there is a significant predictive relationship of locus of control and self-control over internalizing and externalizing problems in the infantilejuvenile population, both at a general level and dimension-specific. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, somatic complaints, and post-traumatic stress. Methods: A cross-sectional-correlational study was carried out to establish if there was a possible predictive relationship in 3,664 schoolchildren of both primary (4th-6th grade) and secondary (7th-12th grade) in northern Chile, using the short version of the Nowicki-Strickland scale to measure locus of control, the Tangney scale to measure self-control, and the Child and Adolescent Evaluation System (SENA) to measure the dimensions of internalized problems. Hypotheses: (1) Greater self-control is associated with lower levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. (2) Higher external locus of control is associated with higher levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. (3) Self-control, locus of control, and gender can together significantly predict each of the internalizing and externalizing problems. Results: Evidence is found to support the first two hypotheses fully and partially support the third, since gender did not function as a predictor in all models. Conclusion: The results confirm previous international research in that both locus of control and self-control appear to have a significant influence on internalizing and externalizing problems. Implications for mental health promotion in this population are discussed.

“…Behavioral regulation in adolescence, as an essential aspect of psychosocial adjustment, has many consequences on the later development (Reitz et al, 2005;Van Heel et al, 2019). For instance, severe externalizing problem behavior negatively impacts adolescents in the close environment (e.g., parents, peers, and teachers) or society as a whole (Janssens et al, 2017).…”

Research has consistently documented that the death of a close family member can disrupt a family's functional equilibrium and has a deleterious effect on adolescents' adaptation; however, little attention has been paid to behavioral adaptation of adolescents after a loss in a collective setting. Attempting to fill this research gap, the objectives of the current study are: (1) to identify autonomy support profiles based on two centered figures (parents and head teachers) and (2) to examine whether these emerging profiles may moderate the association between the two dimensions of grit (perseverance and consistency) and externalizing problem behavior in Chinese family-bereaved adolescents. A total of 763 family-bereaved adolescents aged from 13 to 18 years (60.3% girls; M age = 15.74; SD = 1.53) were involved in the current study; they were asked to fill a battery of self-report questionnaires. A latent profile analysis revealed three autonomy support profiles: high parental autonomy supporthigh teacher autonomy support (HPHT; n = 598), high parental autonomy support-low teacher autonomy support (HPLT; n = 34), and low parental autonomy support-low teacher autonomy support (LPLT; n = 131). Moreover, results from linear regression analyses, after controlling for relevant bereavement variables, sociodemographics, and social desirability, showed that perseverance and consistency were negatively related to externalizing problem behavior for adolescents within the HPHL profile; nevertheless, the association between perseverance and externalizing problem behavior turned to be positive for adolescents within the HPLT profile. The current study sheds light on the variability of the association between grit and family-bereaved adolescents' behavioral adaptation and further enriches the beneficial effect of autonomy support on adaptive functions in a collective cultural setting. The interplay between grit and autonomy support from parents and teachers has a significant influence on buffering externalizing problem behavior among family-bereaved adolescents.

“…Feng YT et al [15]took yongning county as the investigation site and found that the detection rate of behavioral problems of Hui nationality LBC was 31.25%, which was far higher than 17.84% of Han nationality LBC. Previous studies have shown that children's psychological behavioral problems are related to a variety of factors, including children's personality characteristics [16], selfconcept [17][18][19], parenting behaviors [20,21] ,and family environment factors [19]and so on. Du YS showed that family structure and environment were closely related to children's behavior development [22], and LBC as special family structure will have more emotional [23] and social behavior problems [24].…”

Background: Externalizing behavior problems (EBP) is being increasingly viewed as a public health problem. Previous study showed that the detection rate of behavioral problems of Hui nationality left-behind children (LBC) was far higher than that of Han nationality LBC. However, existing literature has not reported EBP of Hui nationality LBC. The purpose of current study was to investigate the prevalence EBP and its influencing factors among Hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from the southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012-2013). The general self-made questionnaire, Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ for Children), Piers-Harri Children's Self-concept Scale (PHCSS) and Achenbach's Child behavior Checklist (CBCL for parents) were used to investigate the related information. Descriptive analysis and logistic regressions were conducted. Results: The prevalence of EBP in Hui nationality LBC and non-left-behind children(non-LBC) were 12.01% (46/383) and 8.57% (49/572), respectively, and there was no significant difference between them (χ2 =3.04, P=0.08). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low self-concept of behavioral (OR=13.71), introversion (OR =11.19) and intermediate personality (OR=9.35) were risk factors for EBP of Hui nationality LBC, while the intermediate type of mother refusal and denial (OR =0.43) was their protective factor. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for EBP among Hui nationality LBC in rural China. Influencing factors should be considered when formulating relevant policies and undertaking intervention measures in the future, so as to reduce EBP of Hui nationality LBC.
