Strengths and difficulties of child behavior and its relationship with sociofamily risk factors.

Abstract

The objective of this study is the analysis of the relationship between social and family risk factors and behavioural characteristics in pre-schoolers. Data have been obtained from a sample of 471 children, from the information provided by their teachers through the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ - Goodman). Results indicate that children from families with a low o very low socioeconomic and cultural level have more behavioural problems than those from families with a medium o high socioeconomic and cultural level. The main conclusion is that there is a relationship between the social and family environment and the psychological and behavioural distress of preschoolers, which could be the antecedent of later problems.
