ARAUJO, Fernanda Ribeiro de et al. Internalizing problems in adults. Aletheia [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.2, pp. 104-111. ISSN 1413-0394. http://dx.doi.org/DOI10.29327/226091.54.2-10.
ABSTRACT investigations on internalizing problems in Brazilian adults are scarce. Epidemiological studies indicate that anxiety and depression are more common among women. This study presents an investigation with 240 adults from different municipalities in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region, using the Adult Self Report. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, considering as variable the gender. No significant differences were found between men and women in the sample in terms of internalizing problems, anxiety/depression, withdrawal and somatic complaints. Results are discussed in the light of epidemiological data on mental disorders in other Brazilian population segments. New studies with sample expansion are suggested.
