Abstract

ZIv, AVNER. Children's Behavior Problems as Viewed by Teachers, Psychologists, and Children. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1970, 41, 871-879. 30 behavior problems, based on Wickman's checklist, were ranked according to their severity by 165 eighth-grade boys and girls, 82 teachers, and 45 psychologists. A significant positive correlation was found between teachers' and psychologists' rankings. This result is different from that found in similar studies conducted in the United States. However, a qualitative analysis indicated that teachers still consider overt behavior problems more serious, while psychologists consider withdrawal problems to be more severe. Children ranked the problems more like the teachers than like the psychologists. This is probably due to the teachers' socializing influence and the continuous interaction between teachers and students.
