The children's behaviour questionnaire for completion by parents and teachers in a Chinese sample.
Children's behaviour questionnaires were completed by parents and teachers for 248 and 266 12-year old children in Beijing, China, respectively. Compared with studies in other countries, the present study showed that (1) mothers rated children as showing higher frequencies of all behavioural items than did teachers; (2) the ratio of antisocial to neurotic behaviour was higher than the other relevant studies; (3) some items showed sex differences, and these were more marked for teachers than mothers; (4) Chinese boys scored lowest on aggression, but high on psychosomatic symptoms; and (5) difficulties in reading, writing and concentration were positively correlated with teachers' hyperactive-aggressive factor dimension and antisocial subscore.
