La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer la relación entre regulación emocional y problemas de conducta de agresividad y ansiedad en niños y niñas en edad preescolar. Para este propósito se contó con la participación de 30 preescolares con edades entre 38 y 64 meses (M = 55.13, DE = 8.42) y sus madres, con edades entre 22 y 49 años (M = 33.67; DE = 7.44), utilizando el Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC, Shields & Cicchetti, 1997) para medir la regulación del niño y el Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (SCBE-30, LaFreniere & Dumas, 1996) para identificar problemas de conducta de agresividad y ansiedad en el niño o niña. Según lo reportado por las madres, se encontró una asociación positiva, alta y significativa entre labilidad/negatividad y agresividad, así como una asociación positiva significativa, aunque baja, entre labilidad/negatividad y ansiedad. Por otro lado, los objetivos específicos fueron identificar las posibles diferencias en la regulación emocional y los problemas de conducta entre niños y niñas, así como entre niños de 3 y 5 años. No se encontraron diferencias en regulación emocional o agresividad y ansiedad según sexo ni diferencias en regulación emocional según grupo de edad

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo central establecer la relación entre la seguridad del apego con la competencia social y con los problemas de conducta en niños preescolares de nivel socioeconómico bajo. Como objetivos específicos se busca establecer la relación entre seguridad del apego con la edad de la madre y la comparación de la competencia social y los problemas de conducta a partir del sexo del niño. Para este propósito se evaluó a 32 diadas de madres e hijos. Las madres tenían una edad que oscilaba entre los 22 y los 42 años (M = 28.38, DE = 5.35) y sus hijos entre 3 y 5 años (M = 44.94, DE = 7.21). Se utilizó el Attachment Q-Set 3.0 (Waters, 1995) mediante la observación de la interacción madre e hijo para evaluar la seguridad del apego y el Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (SCBE) a través del reporte de la madre (LaFreniere & Dumas, 1996) para la evaluación de la competencia social y los problemas de conducta. En general, no se encontró una relación entre ambos constructos. Además, en respuesta a los objetivos específicos, se halló una relación entre la seguridad del apego y la edad de la madre y no se encontraron diferencias significativas según el sexo del niño entre las sub escalas de la competencia social y los problemas de conducta. Los resultados justifican la necesidad de continuar con la investigación del apego y su relación con la competencia social. / This research has as a central objective to establish the relationship between attachment security with social competence and with behavioral problems in preschool children of low socioeconomic level. The specific objectives are to establish the relationship between attachment security with the mother's age and the comparison of social competence and behavioural problems based on the child's sex. For this purpose, 32 days of mothers and children were evaluated. The mothers were between 22 and 42 years old (M = 28.38, SD = 5.35) and their children between 3 and 5 years old (M = 44.94, SD = 7.21). Attachment Q-Set 3.0 (Waters, 1995) was used by observing mother-child interaction to assess attachment security and social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (SCBE) through the mother's report (LaFreniere & Dumas, 1996) for the assessment of social competence and behavior problems. In general, no relationship was found between the two constructs. In addition, in response to specific objectives, a relationship was found between attachment security and the mother's age and no significant differences were found according to the child's sex between the social competence subscales and behavior problems. The results justify the need for further research on attachment and its relationship to social competence.

Casuistics: Sixty-two patients were studied, 36 male and 26 female, ages ranging from 7 to 16 years (MA: 10.94; SD: 2.28), with clinical diagnosis of moderate to severe asthma, without comorbidity, seen at the Pediatric Pneumology Service and the Allergy and Immunology Service at a University Hospital, from March to September, 2000. A control group was simultaneously studied and included 62 patients, 37 male and 25 female, ages ranging from 7 to 16 years (MA: 10.26; SD: 2.37), seen at the Orthopedics and Ophthalmology Outpatient Wards at the same hospital, without symptoms of asthma, respiratory allergy and no chronic diseases. Material and method An Identification Form, a Clinical Data Form and the CBCL (Child Behavior Checklist), a tool to evaluate social competence and behavior disorders, were used. Results Results were evaluated by the proportional tests, Student s t test and ANADEP and ANADEPMU and a significance level of 0.05 was chosen. Patients were classified according to the clinical manifestations of asthma: 42 had moderate asthma and 20 had severe asthma, most of them (93.55%) had been diagnosed since 3 years of age. There was no significant difference in age and gender between the group with asthma and the control group. There was a marked association between overall social competence and asthma (with p=0.000) and between social competence associated to activities (with p=0.001) and school (with p=0.01). There was no difference between children with asthma and the control group for social markers (with p=0.23). There was no correlation between gender and age when evaluating social competence, or overall social competence specific parameters: activities, school and social activities. The evaluation of social competence and type of asthma did not show a correlation. There was a strong association between the presence of behavior disorders and asthma (p=0.005), specially internalizing disorders (p=0.001). There was no association between the externalizing disorders and the disease. Behavior disorders were not associated to gender, age and type of asthma. Conclusions Children with asthma showed alterations in overall social competence and social competence related to activities and school, when compared to the control group. They also showed overall and internalizing disorders, which may be harmful to their development, their quality of life, compliance with the treatment and adequate management of the disease. The integration of biological, psychological and social factors is essential to establish adequate programs for the treatment of children with asthma and their families. / Objetivo - avaliar competência social e transtornos comportamentais em crianças com asma moderada e grave, a partir de percepção dos pais. Causística: foram estudados 62 pacientes, 36 do sexo masculino e 26 do sexo feminino, com idade entre 7 e 16 anos (im:10,94; dp:2,28), com diagnóstico clínico de asma moderada e grave, sem comorbidade, atendidos nos serviços de pneumologia infantil e alergia e imunologia de um hospital escola, no perído de março e setembro de 2000. Um grupo de controle foi estudado no mesmo período, composto de 62 pacientes, 37 do sexo masculino e 25 do sexo feminino, com idade entre 7 e 16 anos (im: 10,26; dp: 2,37), atendidos nos ambulatório de ortopedia e oftalmologia do mesmo hospital, sem qualquer sintomatologia de asma, de alergia respiratória e sem qualquer doença crônica. Material e método - foram utilizados na obtenção dos dados uma ficha de identificação, uma ficha de dados clínicos e um instrumento que avalia competência social e transtornos comportamentais - child behavior checklist (cbcl). Resultados - os resultados foram analisados com testes proporção x (ao quadrado), teste t de student, anadep e anadepmu, adotando-se nível de significância de 0,05. Os pacientes foram classificadossegundo manifestações clínicas da asma: 42 com asma moderada e 20 com asma grave, sendo que 93,55% receberam o diagnóstico da doença antes dos 3 anos de idade. Não houve diferença significante em termos de idade e sexo entre os grupos com asma e controle. Houve associação entre competência social e global e asma (p=0,000) e entre competência social associada a atividades (p=0,001) e escola (p=0,01). Não houve diferença entre crianças com asma e o grupo controle em relação ao aspecto social (p=0,23). Não houve relação entre sexo e idade na análise da competência social, nem quanto à competência social global nem quanto aos aspectos específicos: atividades, escola e social. A análise entre competência social e tipo de asma também não mostrou associação. Houve associação entre presença de transtornos comportamentais e asma (p=0,005), principalmente os transtornos internalizantes (p=0,001). Não houve associação dos externalizantes com a doença. Os transtornos comportamentais não se mostraram associados ao sexo, idade da amostra e tipo de asma. Conclusões - as crianças com asma apresentaram alterações na competência social e global e competência social relacionada a atividades e escola, quando comparadas ao grupo controle. Apresentaram ainda transtornos globais e internalizantes, que podem prejudicar o seu desenvolvimento, sua qualidade de vida, a adesão ao tratamento e o manejo adequado da doença. A integração dos aspectos biológicos, psicológicos e sociais é imprescindível para o delineamento de programas adequados de atendimento à criança portadora de asma e a seus familiares.
