A panel network approach of internalizing and externalizing problems in early childhood: Evidence from American and Chinese preschoolers / Hongting CHEN in Development and Psychopathology, 37-3 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 37-3 (August 2025) . - p.1605-1615 Titre : A panel network approach of internalizing and externalizing problems in early childhood: Evidence from American and Chinese preschoolers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hongting CHEN, Auteur ; Yiji WANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1605-1615 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : cultural differences  externalizing problems  internalizing problems  network analysis  preschoolers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Internalizing and externalizing problems tend to co-occur beginning in early childhood. However, the dynamic interplay of symptom-level internalizing and externalizing problems that may drive their co-occurrence is poorly understood. Within the frameworks of the Network Approaches to Psychopathology and the Developmental Cascade Perspective, this study used a panel network approach to examine how symptoms of internalizing and externalizing problems are related in early childhood both concurrently and longitudinally and whether the pattern may differ in American (N = 1,202) and Chinese (N = 180) preschoolers. Internalizing and externalizing problems were rated by mothers in two waves. Results from cross-sectional networks showed that the bridge symptoms underlying the co-occurrence of internalizing and externalizing problems were largely consistent in American and Chinese preschoolers (e.g., withdrawal, aggressive behavior, anxiety and depressive moods). Results from cross-lagged panel networks further showed that the co-occurrence was manifested by unidirectional relations from internalizing to subsequent externalizing symptoms in both American and Chinese preschoolers. The findings contribute needed cross-cultural evidence to better understand the co-occurrence of internalizing and externalizing problems and highlight the temporal heterogeneity of the symptom networks of internalizing and externalizing problems in early childhood.
