This study surveys the association of restricted and repetitive behaviours in pre-school children with their emotional and behavioural problems. Parents of 504 pre-school children selected by cluster sampling participated and filled in the questionnaires including repetitive and restricted behaviour (RRB) scale and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The parents reported repetitive and restrictive behaviours are gender-related in pre-school-aged children. Hyperactivity and emotional problems are significantly in association with all the four types of repetitive and restrictive behaviours. Prosocial problems score is in association with 'reaction to change' subscale score. Children with higher scores of conduct problems have higher rates of 'sensorimotor stereotypies', 'reaction to change' and 'modulation insufficiency'. Pre-school children with a higher rate of RRBs are more hyperactive and have more emotional problems than those with lower rates of RRBs. Conduct problems are more common in children with 'sensorimotor stereotypies', 'reaction to change' and 'modulation insufficiency' problems. Repetitive and restricted behaviours are associated with mental health problems in pre-school-aged children.
本研究调查了学龄前儿童受限和重复行为与情绪和行为问题之间的关联。通过聚类抽样选择了 504 名学龄前儿童的家长参与,并填写了包括重复和受限行为(RRB)量表以及长处和困难问卷在内的问卷。家长报告说,学龄前儿童的重复和受限行为存在性别差异。多动和情绪问题与所有四种重复和受限行为显著相关。亲社会问题得分与“对变化的反应”分量表得分相关。行为问题得分较高的儿童“感觉运动刻板行为”、“对变化的反应”和“调节不足”的发生率较高。RRB 发生率较高的学龄前儿童比 RRBs 发生率较低的儿童更多动,情绪问题更多。“感觉运动刻板行为”、“对变化的反应”和“调节不足”问题儿童中更常见行为问题。重复和受限行为与学龄前儿童的心理健康问题有关。
