The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between neurodevelopmental areas and possible difficulties in emotional-behavioural variables, and to determine if sex moderated this relationship. A community sample of 231 boys and girls with typical development and with a mean age of 19.84 months was evaluated, using the Bayley-III and CBCL 1.5-5 scales. The main results confirmed: (1) better linguistic abilities in girls in both language areas (receptive communication and expressive communication), finding more evidence according to the Bayesian analysis in expressive communication; (2) in the emotional-behavioural area girls had higher scores in withdrawal; (3) significant negative correlations of low magnitude were found between the Bayley and CBCL scales, particularly in the areas of language and cognitive and internalising and externalising problems; (4) children with low cognitive abilities and those with poor receptive communication showed more inter and externalising difficulties; (5) no significant predictive value or moderating effect of sex was found, (6) the number of participants who simultaneously manifested significant deficits in both domains (neurodevelopmental and emotional-behavioural) was very reduced. Future research should corroborate these results and the characteristics of the relationship found at these early ages. Detecting the population at risk in the first two years of life would enable the implementation of interventions aimed at improving neurodevelopmental deficits and emotional-behavioural problems. Thus, identification of deficits in one domain should lead to evaluation of the other.
本研究的目的是探讨神经发育领域与情绪行为变量中可能存在的困难之间的关系，并确定性别是否会调节这种关系。对231名发育正常、平均年龄为19.84个月的男孩和女孩组成的社区样本进行了评估，使用了贝利婴幼儿发展量表第三版（Bayley-III）和儿童行为量表（CBCL 1.5 - 5）。主要结果证实：（1）女孩在两个语言领域（接受性沟通和表达性沟通）的语言能力更好，根据贝叶斯分析，在表达性沟通方面有更多证据；（2）在情绪行为领域，女孩在退缩方面得分更高；（3）贝利量表和儿童行为量表之间存在显著的低强度负相关，特别是在语言、认知以及内化和外化问题领域；（4）认知能力低的儿童和接受性沟通差的儿童表现出更多的内化和外化困难；（5）未发现性别有显著的预测价值或调节作用；（6）在两个领域（神经发育和情绪行为）同时表现出显著缺陷的参与者数量非常少。未来的研究应证实这些结果以及在这些早期阶段发现的关系特征。在生命的头两年检测出高危人群将有助于实施旨在改善神经发育缺陷和情绪行为问题的干预措施。因此，确定一个领域的缺陷应该会促使对另一个领域进行评估。
