Behavior problems of Anglo and Mexican-American children.
The present investigation compared Anglo (N = 1,999) and Mexican-American children (N = 192) on the four factors of the Behavior Problem Checklist (BPCL). Teachers provided general information and BPCL ratings. The Anglo children manifested more problems on three of the factors than did the Mexican-American children. Significant interactions of grade, sex, and social class with ethnic group were revealed for two of the factors.
