Stability of Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Preschoolers: A One-Year Follow-up Study

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the one-year stability of internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in preschoolers. One hundred ninety-seven preschoolers aged 3-5 years (105 boys and 92 girls) who had been recruited from daycare centers in the metropolitan area of Seoul were assessed twice with the Korean version of the CBCL 1.5-5 at one year intervals. The one-year stability for internalizing, externalizing, and total behavior problems were r=0.71, 0.76, 0.77 for boys, and r=0.73, 0.59, 0.67 for girls, respectively. Seven of the 13 boys (53.8%) and 9 of the 14 girls (64.3%) with internalizing problems in the clinical range (T > 64) at Time 1 continued to be in the clinical range one year later. For externalizing problems, 14 of the 19 boys (73.7%) but none of the five girls remained in the clinical range at Time 2. The results suggested interesting gender differences in the stability of internalizing and externalizing problems of preschoolers.
