Abstract

The objective of this study is the analysis of the relationship between social and family risk factors and behavioural characteristics in pre-schoolers. Data have been obtained from a sample of 471 children, from the information provided by their teachers through the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ - Goodman). Results indicate that children from families with a low o very low socioeconomic and cultural level have more behavioural problems than those from families with a medium o high socioeconomic and cultural level. The main conclusion is that there is a relationship between the social and family environment and the psychological and behavioural distress of preschoolers, which could be the antecedent of later problems.
