title: Family variables related to behavioral problems in childhood.
abstract: The aim of this study is to ascertain whether there are any differences in the parenting practices received by two groups of children who obtain low-risk and high-risk scores, respectively, in relation to conduct problems and determine which parenting variables are linked with the presence or absence of this kind of problematic behavior. We selected a sample of 30 children between 6 and 14 years old with risk scores in behavioral problems according to the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC), and another similar group with low scores in this variable. After applying the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI) to both parents, we carried out a binomial logistic regression analysis which resulted in a prediction model for the 80% of the sample, composed of the Parenting variables: communication and role orientation from the mothers, and parental support, autonomy and limit setting (the most significant factor) from the fathers. Finally, the utility of results to raise intervention strategies within the family is discussed.
