A three-wave longitudinal study design with two 6-month intervals was used to examine the stability and change in Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problem behavior among children and adolescents referred to outpatient mental health services. Our results indicated high stabilities for parent ratings of child psychopathology across a 1-year interval. Additionally, we found decreases in the level of problem behavior. Interindividual differences in change were found for Total Problems and Externalizing behavior but not for Internalizing. While both the child's temperament and intelligence level and family relations were related to the initial level of parent-rated problem behavior, only intermediary stressful life events had an influence on the rate of change of child psychopathology.
采用一个包含两个6个月间隔的三波纵向研究设计，来考察转介至门诊心理健康服务机构的儿童和青少年内化、外化及总体问题行为的稳定性和变化情况。我们的结果表明，在1年的间隔期内，父母对儿童精神病理学的评分具有高度稳定性。此外，我们发现问题行为水平有所下降。在总体问题和外化行为方面发现了变化的个体差异，但在内化行为方面未发现。虽然儿童的气质和智力水平以及家庭关系都与父母评定的问题行为初始水平相关，但只有中介性应激生活事件对儿童精神病理学的变化率有影响。
