TL;DR: The seven-syndrome model provides one way to capture patterns of children's problems that are manifested in ratings by parents from many societies, and Clinicians working with preschoolers from these societies can assess and describe parents' ratings of behavioral, emotional, and social problems in terms of the seven syndromes.

TL;DR: International comparisons were conducted of preschool children's behavioral and emotional problems as reported on the Child Behavior Checklist by parents in 24 societies, indicating that the rank orders of mean item ratings and internal consistencies of scales were very similar across diverse societies.

TL;DR: Societies were very similar with respect to which problem items, on average, received high versus low ratings from parents and caregivers/teachers, and cross-informant agreement for item ratings varied widely across children.

TL;DR: It is concluded that although institutionalized infants in Chile do not exhibit high levels of atypical attachment, socioemotional deterioration may lead to vulnerability in present and future development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Caregiver-Teacher Report Form (C-TRF) to assess the emotional, behavioral, and social functioning of preschoolers, and found that the first four and the last two syndromes form superordinate groupings labeled Internalizing and Externalizing.
