Abstract
Analysis of the causes of challenging behavior in individuals with intellectual disability (ID). The relatedness and the impact of cognitive and emotional functioning on challenging behavior was investigated by correlation and regression analyses in 262 individuals with ID and mental disorders / challenging behavior. Despite the high correlation between ID and emotional development, cognitive-emotional developmental discrepancies were found in every second patient. The severity of challenging behavior was associated with a lower level of emotional development, especially in the area of "aggression regulation". The level of emotional development should be ascertained in the context of an assessment of challenging behavior in individuals with ID.
