Studies about changes in the prevalence of emotional and behaviour problems across time are lacking, especially among younger children.
To determine if the level of parent-reported emotional and behaviour problems and competencies in young Norwegian school children had changed across a 16-year time interval.
We compared parent reports obtained by the Child Behavior Checklist in two samples of children aged 7-9 years from the general population assessed in 1991 and 2007.
The results demonstrated overall stability or slight decreases of emotional and behaviour problems and a significant increase in competencies, mainly due to increased activity and social competence scores in the 2007 sample. Boys obtained higher scores than girls in Total Problems, Externalizing and Attention problems at both time points and there was a high stability of the rank order of items.
The findings suggest stability in child emotional and behaviour problems, and an increase of competencies across the period.
目前缺乏关于情绪和行为问题患病率随时间变化的研究，尤其是在年幼儿童中。
确定挪威学龄儿童家长报告的情绪和行为问题水平以及能力在16年的时间间隔内是否发生了变化。
我们比较了1991年和2007年从普通人群中抽取的两个7至9岁儿童样本通过儿童行为清单获得的家长报告。
结果表明，情绪和行为问题总体稳定或略有下降，能力显著提高，主要是由于2007年样本中的活动和社交能力得分增加。在两个时间点上，男孩在总问题、外化问题和注意力问题上的得分均高于女孩，且项目的排名顺序具有高度稳定性。
研究结果表明儿童的情绪和行为问题具有稳定性，且在此期间能力有所提高。
