Abstract

This research used a parent-administered measure of problem behaviors to study perceptions of child behaviors in different home situations. We applied latent profile analysis to identify unique subgroups of children with common behavioral tendencies in a nationally representative sample of 4- to 15-year-old students in Trinidad and Tobago.
