ROVARIS, Jéssica Aline    BOLSONI-SILVA, Alessandra Turini. Comparison of maternal and child behaviors differentiated by sex, education and behavior problems. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. []. 2021, 14, 1, pp.1-29. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais202114e15816.

This study aimed to describe and compare educational practices and child behaviors in children differentiated by behavior problem, education and sex. The participants were 155 mothers of children from the public school system, in preschool and school age, of both sexes, who answered the CBCL, RE-HSE-P instruments. The data were analyzed through test t of Student. The study found that boys and children with behavior problems are more exposed to negative practices and mothers complain more often about their behaviors. In contrast, the girls obtained higher averages for social skills and positive practices. Specific practices and more frequent child behaviors were found for groups differentiated by sex or diagnosis of behavioral problems, both in early childhood education and elementary school. Such analyzes can contribute to the development of intervention strategies for focus groups.
