The Development of Concern for Others in Children with Behavior Problems.

Hastings, Paul D.; Zahn-Waxler, Carolyn; Robinson, JoAnn; Usher, Barbara; Bridges, Dana

Developmental Psychology, v36 n5 p531-46 Sep 2000

Examined development of concern and externalizing problems in children at three behavior problem levels. Found no group differences in concern at 4-5 years. Concern in children with clinical behavior problems decreased by 6-7 years. Greater concern at 4-5 or at 6-7 years predicted decreased stability and severity of externalizing problems by 6-7 years and decreased stability by 9-10 years, respectively. (Author/KB)
