| Abstract: | Objective: Compare behavioral and emotional problems of childrenand adolescents with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and clientsconsulting mental health centers (MHC) and related behavioraland emotional problems to the children's personality in thePWS group. Methods: Participants were 39 children with PWS and 585 matchedMHC dlents. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) syndromes were relatedto the Big-Five personality factors measured with the CaliforniaChild Q-sort (CCQ). Results: Mean CBCL Total Problems scores were not differentfor the PWS and MHC groups, but differences were found for severalof the CBCL subscales. Patterns of correlations among CBCL scaleswere similar In both groups, although coefficients were generallyhigher in the PWS group, indicating higher comorbidity or co-absenceof CBCL syndromes in children and adolescents with PWS. Personalityprofiles were specific for Internalizing and Externalizing problemsof children and adolescents with PWS. |
