Abstract Background Externalizing behavior problems (EBP) is being increasingly viewed as a public health problem. Few studies have addressed EBP in Chinese hui nationality left-behind children (LBC). The aims of this current study to explore the prevalence of 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 = 3.037, P = 0.081). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low self-concept of behavioral (OR = 13.709), introversion (OR = 11.188) and intermediate personality (OR = 9.349) were risk factors for EBP of hui nationality LBC, while the intermediate type of mother refusal and denial (OR = 0.430) was their protective factor.Conclusions Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for EBP among hui nationality LBC in rural China. And measures should be taken from self-concept development, personality development, and family education for the prevention of EBP of hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.

Abstract 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.

Abstract Objectives Externalizing behavior problems are considered to be a serious impediment to a child’s development, and therefore it is important to identify their predictors. In this study, we investigated the connections between school-aged boys’ externalizing problems, the mother’s reflective functioning (RF) and the mother’s perception of her childhood relationship with her own caregivers. Methods The study sample comprised 39 school-age boys diagnosed with externalizing behavior problems together with their mothers. A child’s psychopathology was assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher Report Form. Our assessment of the mothers’ mentalizing capacities was based on the Adult Attachment Interview and Reflective Functioning Scale. The perception of a mother’s childhood relationship with her parents was assessed using the Parental Bonding Instrument. Results The analysis revealed that more severe cases of aggressive and rule-breaking behavior in boys were associated with lower RF in mothers, as well as with a mother’s perception of her childhood relationship with her own parents as less autonomous. More aggressive behavior in boys was also associated with a mother’s perception of herself as experiencing a higher degree of care from her father during her own childhood. Conclusions These are only preliminary findings and we have discussed them with a view to understanding the possible ways in which a mother’s RF and the intergenerational context of relationship quality are associated with externalizing behavior problems in middle childhood.

The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the association between parental attachment and externalizing behavior is parallelly mediated by dysfunctional emotion regulation and callous-unemotional traits. The community sample included 296 adolescents (Mage = 14.90, SDage = 1.31), who completed the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits, the Regulation of Emotions Questionnaire, and the Youth Self-Report Child Behavior Checklist. A mediation analysis revealed both direct and indirect effects. Secure attachment representations were negatively associated with internal- and external dysfunctional emotion regulation strategies and callous-unemotional traits, which in turn were positively associated with externalizing behavior problems. The current study expands previous research by simultaneously investigating familial and cognitive factors that foster externalizing behavior problems. An attachment-based perspective offers new possibilities for theory expansion, research directions, and the development of interventions.

Abstract Background: Internalizing behavior problems (IBPs) of left-behind children (LBC) due to parental migration, such as depression and anxiety, has aroused widespread public health concern in China. Limited research to date has focused on studying IBP in Chinese hui nationality LBC. The aims of this present study were to explore the prevalence of IBP and its influencing factors among hui nationality LBC in rural areas of China.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012-2013). The demographic data were investigated by a self-designed questionnaire. The caregivers or parents assessed internalizing behavior problems using Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL for parents). Children completed Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ for Children) and Piers-Harri Children's Self-concept Scale (PHCSS). Data on 383 hui nationality LBC aged 6–16 years used in this study were from a survey conducted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship among the independent variables with children’s internalizing behaviors. Results: The prevalence of IBP in hui nationality LBC and non-left-behind children (non-LBC) was 21.7% (83/383) and 18.2% (104/572), respectively, and there was no significant difference between them (χ2=1.774，P=0.183). However, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of IBP among hui nationality LBC (22.2%) and non-LBC (14.1) for boys (χ2=5.086，P=0.024). Controlling for gender and age, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high mother-favoring subjects (OR=2.697), medium neuroticism (OR=12.77) and high neuroticism (OR=8.436) were risk factors for IBP in hui nationality LBC.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that parental migration is a risk factor for IBP among hui nationality LBC in rural China. Positive measures should be taken to prevent the IBP of LBC in rural Hui nationality from the aspects of personality development and parental rearing patterns.

Objetivo: En este estudio, se compararán los problemas de comportamiento de los niños prematuros sanos y a término. También se estudiará el efecto de las condiciones ambientales y neonatales en la tasa de problemas de comportamiento, prestando especial atención a la depresión materna y al estrés de los padres. Estudios anteriores encontraron tasas de prevalencia significativamente mayores de problemas totales en niños prematuros. La mayoría de estos estudios se llevaron a cabo con niños prematuros menores de 32 semanas de edad gestacional. En contraste, algunos estudios realizados con niños moderadamente prematuros no encontraron diferencias significativas. Método: Evaluamos 108 niños prematuros de bajo riesgo y 33 niños de término completo a través del Child Behavior Checklist cuando tenían 5 años de edad. El estrés y la depresión de sus madres también fueron evaluados. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos prematuros y los de término completo en cuanto a la internalización o la externalización general de los problemas de conducta, ni a los problemas de conducta más específicos, como la ansiedad, la atención o la agresión. No se encontró ningún efecto de la edad gestacional en la tasa de problemas de conducta. En contraste, el estrés materno, pero no la depresión materna, fue un fuerte predictor de problemas de conducta. Conclusiones: Estos resultados indican que los problemas de conducta no son característicos de los niños prematuros como grupo, sino solo de los niños muy o extremadamente prematuros. Background/Objective. In this study, the behavior problems of healthy preterm and full-term children will be compared. The effect of environmental and neonatal conditions on the rate of behavior problems, with special attention to maternal depression and parental stress, will also be studied. Previous studies found significantly higher prevalence rates of total problems in preterm children. Most of these studies were carried out with preterm children under 32 weeks of gestational age. In contrast, some studies carried out with moderately preterm children found no significant difference. Method. We assessed 108 low risk preterm children and 33 full-term children through the Child Behavior Checklist when they were 5 years-old. Their mothers` stress and depression were also assessed. Results. No significant difference was found between the preterm and the full-term groups for overall, internalizing or externalizing behavior problems, or for more fine-grained behavior problems such as anxiety, attention or aggression problems. No effect of gestational age on the rate of behavior problems was found. In contrast maternal stress, but not maternal depression, was a strong predictor of behavior problems. Conclusions. These results indicate that behavior problems are not characteristic of preterm children as a group, but only of very or extremely preterm children.

Introduction. Early life adversity (ELA) can result in negative health-outcomes, including psychopathology. Evidence suggests that adolescence is a critical developmental period for processing ELA. Identity formation, which is crucial to this developmental period, may moderate the effect between ELA and psychopathology. One potential moderating variable associated with identity formation is Prospective Self, a latent construct comprised of future-oriented attitudes and behaviors.Methods. Participants are from the first wave of an ongoing longitudinal study designed to characterize behavioral and cognitive correlates of risk behavior trajectories. A community sample of 10th and 12th grade adolescents (N = 2017, 55% female) were recruited from nine public school districts across eight Southeastern Michigan counties in the United States. Data were collected in schools during school hours or after school via self-report, computer-administered surveys. Structural equation modeling was used in the present study to assess Prospective Self as a latent construct and to evaluate the relationship between ELA, psychopathology, and Prospective Self.Results. Preliminary findings indicated a satisfactory fit for the construct Prospective Self. The predicted negative associations between Prospective Self and psychopathology were found and evidence of moderation was observed for externalizing behavior problems, such that the effects of ELA were lower for individuals with higher levels of Prospective Self. Conclusion. These results support the role of Prospective Self in conferring resilience against externalizing behavior problems associated with ELA among adolescents.
