Partiendo de la clasificación del DSM-IV TR que aglutina, bajo la etiqueta de trastornos del comportamiento perturbador, el trastorno de conducta antisocial y el trastorno negativista desafiante, se ha realizado un estudio con dos objetivos: a) conocer las diferencias en la sintomatología del trastorno del comportamiento perturbador durante la adolescencia en función del género, la edad y la ubicación del centro escolar; y b) analizar las relaciones entre las variables temperamentales y de afrontamiento con las dimensiones psicopatológicas de conducta antisocial y negativista desafiante. Se ha administrado el YI-4, el EATQ-R y la ACS a una muestra de 1.240 adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y 17 años. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que los chicos realizan un mayor número de conductas antisociales que las chicas, no observándose diferencias según la ubicación del centro escolar. En el caso de la sintomatología negativista desafiante, se observan diferencias según el grupo de edad, siendo a la edad de 13 a 14 años cuando se presenta una mayor sintomatología. Los datos indican una correlación positiva de ambas dimensiones psicopatológicas con surgencia y afrontamiento no productivo y negativa con control voluntario y afrontamiento productivo.
Disruptive behavior in adolescence and its relationship with temperament and coping styles. Employing the DSM-IV TR classification, which classifies both antisocial behavior disorder and oppositional defiant disorder under the label of disruptive behavior disorder, a study was conducted with two aims: a) to determine the symptomatological differences of disruptive behavior disorder in adolescence depending on gender, age and school location, and b) to analyse the relationships between temperament, coping and the psychopathological dimensions of antisocial and oppositional defiant behavior. The YI-4, EATQ-R and ACS were administered to a sample of 1,240 adolescents between 11 and 17 years of age. The results show that boys display a greater number of antisocial behaviors than girls. No differences in school location were observed. In the oppositional defiant symptoms, there were differences according to age group, with 13 to 14 years being an age when there is a greater symptomatology. The data indicate a positive correlation with psychopathological dimensions of both surgency and non-productive coping and a negative correlation with effortful control and productive coping.
