Abstract
The present study tries to offer a better understanding of transdiagnostic and specific correlates of externalizing problems in preadolescence. The first goal was to investigate which of the two categories of irrational beliefs (frustration intolerance and global evaluation of human worth) is more responsible for the manifestation of externalizing behaviors. The results claimed for dissociation in the cognitive profile of specific externalizing problems, frustration intolerance beliefs specifically predict unruly and disruptive behavior, and global evaluation of human worth specifically explained conduct disorder. The second goal of this research was to examine the role of dysfunctional anger in externalizing behaviors and results supported anger as a latent trait factor specific to externalizing problems. While for the most part of previous studies, externalizing factor was associated with a males, in the present study, this association was specific only for conduct disorder.
