Abstract
There is little agreement on the strength of association between childhood psychopathology and socio-economic status. In this meta-analysis of 24,215 US children from population-representative studies, the average association of SES with psychopathology was g=.28. SES indices differed in effect size, and SES was more related to externalizing than internalizing psychopathology.
