Abstract
This paper describes sex differences in a clinically referred sample on direct measures of child competence and ratings of psychopathology. The sample comprised 117 6–12 year-old boys and 63 girls referred to a psychiatric outpatient service. The results indicated that although boys and girls did not differ in overall problems or on externalizing problems, girls had significantly more internalizing problems and were more impaired as measured by both individual and composite measures of competence.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
