“…For example, a prospective study conducted by Vitaro et al (2002), found that general anxiety symptoms assessed at age 6 years were positively related to aggressive behaviour at age 10-12 years. In contrast, Slemming et al (2010) found that hostile/aggressive behaviours assessed at 3-4 years of age were positively associated with internalising difficulties at 10-12 years of age. It is also possible that the co-occurrence of aggression and internalising symptoms is due to common factors.…”

“…As such, causation, and therefore mediation, can only be inferred. Furthermore, previous research has shown support for the hypothesis that aggressive behaviour is related to later emotional difficulties (Slemming et al 2010). As such, future research would benefit from examining the relationships found in the current study using a longitudinal design, considering relationships between internalising symptoms and aggression in each direction simultaneously.…”

“…While some research findings suggest that anxiety might lead to later aggressive behaviours (e.g. Vitaro et al 2002), other research suggests that aggression predicts later internalising symptomatology (Pihlakoski et al 2006;Slemming et al 2010). For example, a prospective study conducted by Vitaro et al (2002), found that general anxiety symptoms assessed at age 6 years were positively related to aggressive behaviour at age 10-12 years.…”

The Role of Anger in the Relationship Between Internalising Symptoms and Aggression in Adolescents

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of anger in the relationships between various internalising symptoms and direct and indirect aggression. A sample of 241 adolescents aged 12-17 years completed the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders, Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D) and the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire (AQ-15). Symptoms of panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder and depression, but not social phobia, were positively correlated with anger, direct aggression and indirect aggression. When considered simultaneously in regression analyses, only symptoms of depression contributed to variance in the anger and aggression variables. However, using indirect effect modelling, no direct relationships were found between the internalising symptom variables and the aggression variables. Instead, the data suggested that the relationship between internalising symptoms and aggression is mediated by the emotion of anger. These findings suggest that the degree to which anger co-occurs with internalising symptoms may play an important role in an individual's propensity to engage in aggressive behaviour.

“…Somado a isso, pelo fato de a identificação dos problemas comportamentais nas crianças depender também do papel que os adultos desempenham em suas vidas, muitos problemas podem não ser detectados até mesmo pelos pais, sugerindo que a ocorrência de problemas de comportamento pode ser subestimada, particularmente os de internalização 37,38 , que costumam ser mais difíceis de serem notados. Seria mais adequado, assim, acessar os problemas de comportamento na infância por meio de outros informantes (por exemplo, professores), já que existe a possibilidade de o relato dos pais refletir o estado mental deles próprios ou a relação pais-criança em adição aos sintomas inerentes à criança 39,40 . Cabe salientar ainda que, ao se interpretar os resultados do presente estudo, deve-se levar em consideração que os problemas de comportamento das crianças foram acessados apenas por meio de um instrumento que, além disso, é de rastreamento.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Este estudo objetivou investigar a associação entre problemas de comportamento e excesso de peso (sobrepeso e obesidade) em pré-escolares de uma coorte de nascimentos do sul do Brasil, acompanhados do nascimento aos 4 anos de idade. Métodos: No acompanhamento dos quatro anos foram realizadas entrevistas domiciliares com as mães das crianças, tendo sido coletadas informações sobre a saúde e o desenvolvimento infantil, além de ser aplicado o Child Behavior Checklist 4-18/CBCL. Resultados: Cerca de 15% dos meninos e 12% das meninas de 4 anos apresentaram excesso de peso, e a associação entre problemas de comportamento e o excesso de peso nessa idade se deu apenas em problemas de ansiedade-depressão, nas meninas (OR: 3,79 [IC95%: 1,60-8,97]; p = 0,002). Conclusões: Meninas em idade pré-escolar com excesso de peso apresentaram mais problemas de ansiedade-depressão do que as com peso adequado da mesma idade. Essa informação é de extrema relevância, visto que os anos pré-escolares são ideais para se investir em prevenção, tanto dos problemas de comportamento, como do excesso de peso, possibilitando introduzir comportamentos/hábitos mais saudáveis e diminuir, assim, as consequências negativas que ambos acarretam à vida das crianças. ABSTRACTObjective: This study aimed to investigate the association between behavior problems and excess of weight (overweight and obesity) in preschool children from a birth cohort in southern Brazil, followed from birth to four years old. Methods: In the follow-up of four years, home interviews with mothers were carried out where information on the health and development of children were collected, in addition to application of the Child Behavior Checklist 4-18/CBCL. Results: About 15% of boys and 12% of four-year girls were overweight/obese, and the association between behavior problems and excess of weight in this age occurred only with problems of anxiety-depression in girls (OR: 3.79 [95% CI: 1.60 to 8.97]; p = 0.002). Conclusions: Preschool girls with excess of weight showed more problems of anxiety and depression than those with adequate weight at the same age. This information is extremely important, as the preschool years are ideal for investing in prevention of both behavioral problems and overweight/obesity, allowing to introduce healthier habits and behaviors and decrease thus the negative consequences both cause to children.

“…Thus, depending on a child's age and the various characteristics and types of EBD, different informants may hold discrepant opinions about the presence or absence of problems (Wingenfeld, 2002). However, it is essential to preserve the contributions of multiple informants for accurate and effective assessment and intervention planning (Grikorenko et al, 2010;Hackett et al, 2010;Renk & Phares, 2004;Slemming et al, 2010).…”
