Analysis of behavioural problems in young children with language problems.
From 38 children diagnosed with a language problem, the opinion of the parents about the behaviour of their child, scored by the Child Behaviour Checklist 1.5-5 was compared with the behavioural problems in the Dutch population with the Chi-square test. T-tests and Mc Nemar tests were used to compare the opinion of the fathers about the behavioural problems with the opinion of the mothers and to compare the scores on internalizing problems with scores on externalizing problems. Plots display the measurement of the mean behavioural problems of the parents against the discrepancy between the parents and of the total behavioural problems against the discrepancy between internalizing and externalizing problems. The relation between the behavioural problems, the language score and the non-verbal intelligence score was also compared and is presented in a bar chart.
All children had an inadequate language production (GDS). Twenty-seven children had an adequate and 11 children had an inadequate Language Comprehension Quotient (LCQ). Twenty-eight children had an adequate and 10 children had an inadequate non-verbal IQ (SON-IQ). In the clinical population mothers report more internalizing behavioural problems than in Dutch peers. The fathers also experience differences, but these are not significant. There is agreement between the parents in how they experience problems on the internalizing, externalizing and total problem scale. And there are no significant differences between the internalizing and externalizing problem scales, between boys and girls, and in behavioural problems in children with both adequate LCQ and SON-IQ and with inadequate LCQ and/or SON-IQ.
Compared to their peers in the Dutch population, young children with language problems show more internalizing problems according to their mothers. The fathers also experience differences, but these are not significant. Fathers and mothers agree on the behaviour analysis of their child and there are no differences between the occurrences of internalizing or externalizing problems and between boys and girls. There is also no relation between the behavioural problems and the severity of the language problem or the level of non-verbal functioning.
分析有语言问题的幼儿的行为问题。
从38名被诊断有语言问题的儿童中，通过儿童行为清单1.5 - 5对家长关于其孩子行为的看法进行评分，并通过卡方检验将其与荷兰人群中的行为问题进行比较。使用t检验和麦克尼马尔检验来比较父亲和母亲对行为问题的看法，并比较内化问题得分与外化问题得分。图表展示了家长对平均行为问题的测量与家长之间差异的关系，以及总行为问题与内化和外化问题之间差异的关系。还比较了行为问题、语言得分和非语言智力得分之间的关系，并以柱状图呈现。
所有儿童的语言表达能力均不足（GDS）。27名儿童的语言理解商数（LCQ）充足，11名儿童的LCQ不足。28名儿童的非语言智商（SON - IQ）充足，10名儿童的SON - IQ不足。在临床人群中，母亲报告的内化行为问题比荷兰同龄人更多。父亲也有差异，但不显著。在如何体验内化、外化和总问题量表上的问题方面，父母之间存在一致性。并且在内化和外化问题量表之间、男孩和女孩之间，以及LCQ和SON - IQ均充足与LCQ和/或SON - IQ不足的儿童的行为问题之间没有显著差异。
与荷兰人群中的同龄人相比，有语言问题的幼儿的母亲认为他们有更多的内化问题。父亲也有差异，但不显著。父亲和母亲在对孩子行为的分析上意见一致，并且内化或外化问题的发生情况以及男孩和女孩之间没有差异。行为问题与语言问题的严重程度或非语言功能水平之间也没有关系。
