  • Title: Behavior problems in children with the presenting problem of poor school performance.
    Author: Thompson RJ, Lampron LB, Johnson DF, Eckstein TL.
    Journal: J Pediatr Psychol; 1990 Feb; 15(1):3-20. PubMed ID: 2324908.
    Abstract:
    Used 3 methods of assessing behavioral disturbance in 79 children presenting with poor school performance to an interdisciplinary evaluation center. Findings revealed a very high frequency of behavior problems, particularly of the internalizing type, but few differences in frequency or type of behavior problems among 4 subgroups: children with learning disabilities, mental retardation, borderline intellectual functioning, and without learning disabilities or cognitive impairment. Behavioral problems were associated with lower perceptions of self-worth and family functioning characterized as more controlling, and less supportive. Findings are discussed in terms of the need for interactional models of learning and behavior problems.
