Early childhood behavior problems show varied development. Externalizing issues tend to decrease while internalizing problems increase, with individual differences and parenting factors influencing these developmental trajectories.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Child psychopathology
  • Behavioral science

Background:

  • Externalizing and internalizing problems are common in early childhood.
  • Understanding developmental trajectories is crucial for early intervention.
  • Disadvantaged populations may face unique developmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the developmental trajectories of externalizing and internalizing problems in disadvantaged boys from ages 2 to 6.
  • To investigate the cross-domain associations between these problem types.
  • To identify child and parenting factors predicting distinct developmental pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-domain latent growth modeling was employed.
  • Longitudinal data from 303 disadvantaged boys (ages 2-6) were analyzed.

  • Child temperament (emotionality, fearfulness) and maternal control were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • On average, externalizing problems decreased, while internalizing problems increased over time.
    • Significant individual variability in trajectories was observed.
    • High externalizing problems predicted increases in internalizing problems.
    • Specific combinations of child temperament and maternal control predicted distinct trajectories for externalizing and internalizing problems.

    Conclusions:

    • Developmental trajectories of externalizing and internalizing problems are influenced by both general and specific processes.
    • Early identification of risk factors like temperament and parenting is essential.
    • Tailored interventions may be needed to address diverse developmental pathways.
