| description | The relationships between symptoms that comprise behavioral problems in children can be traced longitudinally to provide long-term support. This study identified signs that should be considered important in school age children by tracking changes in the relationships between different symptoms of behavioral problems in preschool and school age children. This study used Gaussian graphical network analysis to clarify the interaction of the overall subscales constituting the K-CBCL (Korean Child Behavior Checklist) and centrality in the network. In the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC), the K-CBCL/1.5–5 was used for children up to age six (first grade, elementary school), and the K-CBCL/6–18 was used for older children. In this study, 1323 PSKC samples (boys, <i>n</i> = 671; girls, <i>n</i> = 652) were used to distinguish nonclinical and (sub)clinical groups (T-score ≥ 60) compared to node centrality in each group’s CBCL subscale networks. Depression/anxiety was a persistent core symptom of the behavioral problem network in 5- and 7-year-old children. A new core symptom in 7-year-old children was posttraumatic stress problems added in version CBCL/6-18. Based on these results, it is necessary to consider both anxiety/depression and posttraumatic stress problems in preschool children to support the adaptation of school-age children. |
