Peter J. LaFreniere

TL;DR: LaFreniere et al. as discussed by the authors presented the factor structure and scale characteristics of the shortened version of the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (SCBE) for a Quebec sample and 3 US samples, as well as age and gender differences in the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems and social competence throughout the preschool years.

TL;DR: The authors compared mother-child and child-to-mother control exchanges in dyads involving socially competent, aggressive, and anxious children (aged 2.5-6.5 years) observed in a laboratory setting.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the Preschool Socioaffective Profile (PSP) using a sample of 608 preschoolers revealed high internal consistency, interrater reliability, and stability for the 810-item scales and identified three coherent factors representing externalizing and internalizing behavior problems and social competence.

TL;DR: A multi-national study using the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Inventory (SCBE-30) was conducted to investigate preschool children's social and emotional development across cultures as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The demonstration of effects of this home intervention for the mother on the child's behavior in the preschool confirm the transactional model underlying this study and demonstrate the utility of a parent-child interaction training component for the prevention of behavioral-emotional problems in young children.
