| dc.description.abstract | This study examined longitudinal links between household income and parents’ education and children’s trajectories of internalizing and
externalizing behaviors from age 8 to 10 reported by mothers, fathers, and children. Longitudinal data from 1,190 families in 11 cultural
groups in eight countries (Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States) were included. Multigroup
structural equation models revealed that household income, but not maternal or paternal education, was related to trajectories of
mother-, father-, and child-reported internalizing and externalizing problems in each of the 11 cultural groups. Our findings highlight
that in low-, middle-, and high-income countries, socioeconomic risk is related to children’s internalizing and externalizing problems,
extending the international focus beyond children’s physical health to their emotional and behavioral development | en_US |
