本研究比较了6-11岁的希腊和美国儿童中父母报告的能力和行为/情绪问题。各国籍356名儿童的家长完成了儿童行为检查表（CBCL）。美国孩子的能力得分更高，除了学术能力，希腊孩子的得分更高。希腊人在孤僻、焦虑/抑郁、注意力问题、不良行为、攻击行为、内化、外化和总体问题量表上的得分明显高于美国人。在焦虑/抑郁综合症中，国籍占14%的差异。性别和年龄几乎没有主要影响，相互作用也更少。希腊样本中较高的问题得分部分是由于希腊父母倾向于使用极端的项目得分。当项目被分为在场和缺席时，希腊人的得分只在孤静、焦虑/抑郁、内化和总体问题上更高，而美国人的得分在躯体抱怨和思想问题上更高。精神卫生服务转诊率的国籍差异和既往精神卫生服务排除标准的样本差异可能导致问题得分的差异。结果与其他跨文化研究的结果进行了比较。
This study compared parent-reported competencies and behavioral/emotional problems in demographically-matched samples of Greek and American children, ages 6–11. Parents of 356 children of each nationality completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Competence scores were higher for American children, except on Academic Competence, where scores were higher for Greek children. Greek scores were significantly higher than American scores on the Withdrawn, Anxious/Depressed, Attention Problems, Delinquent Behavior, Aggressive Behavior, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problem scales. On the Anxious/Depressed syndrome, nationality accounted for 14% of the variance. There were few main effects for sex and age and fewer interactions. The higher problem scores in the Greek sample were partly due to the tendency of Greek parents to use extreme item scores. When items were scored present v. absent, Greek scores were higher only on Withdrawn, Anxious/Depressed, Internalizing, and Total Problems, while American scores were higher on Somatic Complaints and Thought Problems. Nationality differences in rates of referral for mental health services and sample differences in exclusion criteria for prior mental health services may have contributed to differences in problem scores. Results are compared to findings from other cross-cultural studies.
