abstract = {The socioeconomic status (SES) of parents has been reported to have a crucial impact on
emotional competence in childhood. However, studies have largely been carried out in
developed countries and in children in a specific age range, and it is not clear whether the
effect of the SES of parents varies by age. The objective of this study was to investigate the
psychopathological profile (including externalizing and internalizing problems) of children
aged 7, 9, and 11 years old with low SES in a developing country (Ecuador). The study
included 274 children (139 boys and 135 girls), who were divided between medium-SES
(n = 133) and low-SES (n = 141) groups. Data were gathered on socioeconomic and
anthropometric variables of the children, and the parents completed the Child Behavior
Check-List (CBCL). In comparison to the medium-SES group, children in the low-SES
group obtained higher scores for internalizing and externalizing symptoms and for total
problems, and they obtained lower scores for social competence skills. The housing risk
index and school competence were the two main predictors of internalizing and
externalizing problems in this population.},
