Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Migration Studies
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Migrant children face unique challenges impacting their emotional and behavioral well-being.
  • Understanding these challenges is crucial for developing targeted support systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate emotional and behavioral issues in migrant children.
  • To compare these problems with those of non-migrant children in similar environments.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 526 students (182 migrants, 344 non-migrants) aged 11.23 ± 1.05 in Adana, Turkey.
  • Utilized standardized instruments: Depression Inventory for Children (CDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C), Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), and Rutter's Teachers Rating Scale (RTRS).

Main Results:

  • Migrant children reported significantly lower self-esteem, higher depression, and anxiety levels.
  • No significant differences in behavioral symptoms were found between migrant and non-migrant children.
  • Psychometric test results showed no significant correlation with father's education, duration of residence, or room density.

Conclusions:

  • Migrant children exhibit significant emotional distress but not behavioral problems compared to non-migrant children.
  • Further longitudinal research is recommended to understand the long-term adjustment and prognosis of migrant children.
