Baseline assessments of 4 to 8-year-old children, 26 girls and 101 boys, referred to outpatient treatment for disruptive behaviors, were examined, focusing on possible differences between the functioning of boys and girls and their families. Child variables included diagnostic information, measures of disruptive behaviors, social competence, and independent observations of child behaviors. A variety of family variables, such as information regarding parenting practices, parental stress, and depression were included. Teacher reports of disruptive behaviors and social competence at school were included. Teacher ratings of child functioning indicated that boys displayed significantly more externalizing behaviors and they were less socially competent than girls. Parents perceived both girls and boys as highly oppositional and aggressive, and generally speaking, differences were few. Nevertheless, the level of stress was higher in girls' than in boys' families, and mothers of girls reported of higher levels of depressive symptoms. Girls and boys did not differ regarding diagnostic status.
对因破坏性行为而接受门诊治疗的4至8岁儿童（26名女孩和101名男孩）进行了基线评估，重点关注男孩和女孩及其家庭功能方面可能存在的差异。儿童变量包括诊断信息、破坏性行为测量、社交能力以及对儿童行为的独立观察。还纳入了各种家庭变量，如育儿方式、父母压力和抑郁方面的信息。包括教师对学校破坏性行为和社交能力的报告。教师对儿童功能的评分表明，男孩表现出明显更多的外化行为，且社交能力比女孩弱。父母认为女孩和男孩都极具对抗性和攻击性，总体而言，差异不大。然而，女孩家庭的压力水平高于男孩家庭，女孩的母亲报告有更高水平的抑郁症状。女孩和男孩在诊断状况方面没有差异。
