ABSTRACT
Studying behavioural problems in children is complex, even more if they have intellectual disability. The aetiology of such problems is diverse: context, genetics, family and interaction, and some of these factors can be themselves a cause of psychopathology or increase the risk of it. The aims were: 1) to identify emotional and behavioural problems in 6-to-11-year-old children with intellectual disability from different socioeconomic levels (SEL) from Tucumán, Argentina; 2) to analyse internalizing and externalizing behaviour in children with intellectual disability and 3) to analyse whether there are differences in emotional and behavioural problems depending on the children’s socioeconomic level. The findings of this study can be related to greater emotional and behavioural problems in children who have moderate intellectual disability associated with attention, shyness and social problems. In addition, greater emotional problems were found in children with intellectual disability of low socioeconomic levels from Tucumán.REFERENCES
