| Abstract
|
:
|
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Saudi mothers; environmental factors such as socioeconomic status, education level, marital status; demographic factors such as gender and the age of the child; and the externalizing behavior scores of their children between the ages of 6–18 years old. Externalizing behavior is one of the two behavioral patterns. It is the inappropriate behaviors that are directed regarding the external environment. It reflects conflict with others and violation of social norms like rule-breaking behavior and aggressive behavior. This study was conducted in Saudi Arabia. The focus was to assess whether the mothers’ educational level, socioeconomic status, and marital status predicted the level of inappropriate behavior of their children. A quantitative data collection methodology was used. The Child Behavior Check List 6–18 (CBCL) instrument was used to collect data from Saudi mothers living in Saudi Arabia and assessed whether the mothers’ educational level, socioeconomic status, and marital status predicted the level of inappropriate behavior of their children. There were 808 participants who participated in the survey. Multiple regression analysis was used in this research. The results of this study were; the age of the child, high household income, and marital status did not present significant effect on the externalizing behavior of the child. Whereas the gender and mother’s educational background were statistically significant to the externalizing behavior of the child. The limitation, recommendations, implications for future research, and future program were discussed.
