This study examined longitudinal links between household income and parents' education and children's trajectories of internalizing and externalizing behaviors from age 8 to 10 reported by mothers, fathers, and children. Longitudinal data from 1,190 families in 11 cultural groups in eight countries (Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States) were included. Multigroup structural equation models revealed that household income, but not maternal or paternal education, was related to trajectories of mother-, father-, and child-reported internalizing and externalizing problems in each of the 11 cultural groups. Our findings highlight that in low-, middle-, and high-income countries, socioeconomic risk is related to children's internalizing and externalizing problems, extending the international focus beyond children's physical health to their emotional and behavioral development.
本研究考察了家庭收入、父母教育程度与母亲、父亲及孩子报告的8至10岁儿童内化和外化行为轨迹之间的纵向联系。研究纳入了来自八个国家（哥伦比亚、意大利、约旦、肯尼亚、菲律宾、瑞典、泰国和美国）11个文化群体的1190个家庭的纵向数据。多组结构方程模型显示，在11个文化群体中的每一个群体中，家庭收入而非母亲或父亲的教育程度，与母亲、父亲和孩子报告的内化和外化问题轨迹相关。我们的数据表明，在低收入、中等收入和高收入国家，社会经济风险与儿童的内化和外化问题有关，将国际关注重点从儿童的身体健康扩展到他们的情感和行为发展。
