Although externalizing behavior typically peaks in toddlerhood and decreases by school entry, some children do not show this normative decline. A sample of 383 boys and girls was assessed at ages 2, 4, and 5 for externalizing behavior and at age 2 on measures of emotion regulation and inattention. A longitudinal latent profile analysis was performed and resulted in 4 longitudinal profiles of externalizing behavior for each gender. Poor emotion regulation and inattention were important…

Developmental profiles of aggression across early childhood contributions of emotion regulation and maternal behavior
"Aggressive behavior typically peaks in toddlerhood and decreases by school entry. However, an estimated ten percent of children do not show this normative decline. In addition, persistent aggression…
Profiles of disruptive behavior across early childhood: contributions of frustration reactivity, physiological regulation, and maternal behavior.
TLDR
Examination of disruptive behavior in 318 boys and girls at 2, 4, and 5 years of age and frustration reactivity, physiological regulation, and maternal behavior in the laboratory concluded that a high profile was associated with high reactivity combined with high maternal control or low regulation combined with low maternal control.
Self-regulation as a predictor of patterns of change in externalizing behaviors from infancy to adolescence
TLDR
Analysis of associations between specific self-regulatory mechanisms and externalizing behavior patterns from ages 2 to 15 suggests that behavioral inhibitory control and emotion regulation are particularly important in distinguishing between children who show normative declines in externalizing behaviors across early childhood and those who demonstrate high levels through adolescence.
Physical discipline and externalizing behavior problems: moderating factors
Growth curve modeling was used to examine the influence of physical punishment (PP) on the trajectory of externalizing behavior problems in a community sample of children across the ages of 5 to 10.…
Trajectories of social withdrawal from grades 1 to 6: prediction from early parenting, attachment, and temperament.
TLDR
Differentiated pathways to varying trajectories of social withdrawal are suggested and the importance of identification of longitudinal patterns in relation to risk is highlighted.
Identifying Family and Classroom Practices Associated With Stability and Change of Social-Emotional Readiness for a National Sample of Low-Income Children
Among a nationally representative sample of 2,529 Head Start children, patterns of social-emotional readiness were identified at the beginning and end of children's first preschool year. This study…
The transactional relationship between parenting and emotion regulation in children with or without developmental delays.
Growth trajectories of early aggression, overactivity, and inattention: Relations to second-grade reading.
TLDR
Reports of inattentive and overactive behaviors at ages 1-3 years and changes in inattention through toddlerhood predicted reading achievement in 2nd grade, and a parallel process model suggested that the effects of early inatt attention on reading appear to be most robust.
Child language and parenting antecedents and externalizing outcomes of emotion regulation pathways across early childhood: A person-centered approach
TLDR
Findings illustrate how indicator-specific departures from typical pathways signal risk for behavior problems and point to pathway-specific intervention opportunities.
Predicting Children's Prosocial and Co‐operative Behavior from Their Temperamental Profiles: A Person‐centered Approach
The goal of this study was to examine how aspects of self-regulation and negative emotionality predicted children’s co-operative and prosocial behavior concurrently and longitudinally using the…

Early externalizing behavior problems: Toddlers and preschoolers at risk for later maladjustment
TLDR
Findings from a number of studies suggest that the small subgroup of boys with multiple risk factors that include especially high levels of early hyperactivity and aggression, and highlevels of negative parenting and family stress, are most likely to evidence continuing problems at school entry.

Preschool boys identified by their parents and/or teachers as active, inattentive, and impulsive (N = 69) at age 4 were compared with boys without problems (N = 43) on observational measures of…

Measurement of Impulsivity: Construct Coherence, Longitudinal Stability, and Relationship with Externalizing Problems in Middle Childhood and Adolescence
TLDR
Assessment of impulsivity in nonreferred school-aged children found children who performed impulsively on the laboratory measures were perceived by mothers and by teachers as more impulsive, inattentive, and overactive than others, affirm the external validity of the impulsivity constructs.
Prediction of elementary school children's externalizing problem behaviors from attentional and behavioral regulation and negative emotionality.
TLDR
According to the best fitting structural equation model, at two ages behavioral dysregulation predicted externalizing behavior problems for children both high and low in negative emotionality, whereas prediction of problem behavior from attentional control was significant only for children prone tonegative emotionality.
Developmental trajectories of childhood disruptive behaviors and adolescent delinquency: a six-site, cross-national study.
TLDR
The results indicate that among boys there is continuity in problem behavior from childhood to adolescence and that such continuity is especially acute when early problem behavior takes the form of physical aggression.
Relations Among Child Language Skills, Maternal Socialization of Emotion Regulation, and Child Behavior Problems
TLDR
Children's use of physical self-comforting was positively related to overall, internalizing, and externalizing behavior problems, and parents of children with low verbal comprehension used more unexplained compliance demands than other parents.
Early childhood antecedents of aggression and passive-withdrawal in early elementary school.
TLDR
It is suggested that these findings support Bowlby's view that early acquired "working models" of self and other affect later interpersonal function, and that boys' outcome was strongly related to attachment classification at 18 months.

TLDR
Research on the prevalence, course, and correlates of behavior problems in preschool children was examined, indicating that serious externalizing problems identified early often persist and predict their persistence to school age.
