Abstract

The scientific literature clearly reveals the growing incidence of the children's emotional and behavioural problems. The current paper investigates the prevalence of the socially and emotionally related problems in a Romanian sample of 1292 children, from low-budget families, studying in schools from disadvantaged communities. The children, aged 7 to 11, were assessed using ASEBA and SSRS self-reported questionnaires. Statistical analysis revealed a high incidence of social problems (21%), internalising (17,1%) and externalising (13,7%) problems, with a significant difference between boys and girls (F(4, 424) = 6.58, p< .01). Strategies to prevent these problems in the school environment are discussed.
