Abstract
Children enrolled in a day treatment program (n = 54) exhibited improved teacher-rated attention problem and clinician-rated global functioning scores, but not teacher-rated externalizing problem scores, at discharge. Chronological age predicted improvement regarding externalizing problems and global functioning, with younger children exhibiting greater progress in treatment. Children high on Proactive or Proactive/Reactive, but not Reactive-only, aggression made significantly less improvement in externalizing problems at discharge compared to children who were relatively low on both subtypes. A non-significant trend was found for children's aggression acceptability scores to predict increased externalizing problems at discharge. This study adds to the growing literature establishing important differences between proactive and reactive subtypes of aggressive behavior.
