In this 4-year follow-up of behavioral/emotional problems in an epidemiological sample of 1,200 children originally aged 4 to 12 years assessed with the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), high stability in the level of CBCL total problem scores was found. Stability of problem behavior was equally substantial for ages 4 to 12 and both sexes. Aggressive and other externalizing behaviors showed the highest stability. Even in children as young as 4 to 5 years, aggressive and attentional problems showed considerable stability. The results of the present study were informative with respect to methodology in indicating clearly that employing a mailing survey for obtaining parent reports on behavioral/emotional problems resulted in the selective exclusion of a group of especially problematic children who were recovered when parents were interviewed at home.
在对1200名最初年龄在4至12岁儿童的流行病学样本进行的为期4年的行为/情绪问题随访中，使用阿肯巴克儿童行为量表（CBCL）进行评估，发现CBCL总问题得分水平具有高度稳定性。4至12岁儿童以及男女两性的问题行为稳定性同样显著。攻击性行为和其他外化行为表现出最高的稳定性。即使在4至5岁的儿童中，攻击性行为和注意力问题也表现出相当的稳定性。本研究结果在方法学方面提供了信息，明确表明采用邮寄调查来获取家长关于行为/情绪问题的报告，导致了一组特别有问题的儿童被选择性排除，而当在家中对家长进行访谈时，这些儿童又被找回。
