Abstract

Aim: To explore the differences in age and gender on emotional and behavioral broad band scales of children 10-12 years old. It was hypothesized that there will be differences between girls and boys and between ages. Methods: We used CBCL (6-18 years) the 2001 edition (Achenbach - Rescorla, 2001) to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Pearson correlation, T-test, and ANOVA were used to explore and analyse the differences. The sample included 236 children (123 or 52.1 percent boys and 113 or 47.9 percent girls), with a mean age of 11 years (SD .835). From 236 parents participated in the study, 92 of them or 39.0 percent were mothers, while only 144 of them or 61.0 percent were fathers. The parents voluntarily completed the questionnaire. Results: There were found no differences on broad band scales of emotional and behavioral problems, regarding the age and gender of children.
