Eco-immigrant Chirdren’s Behavior Problems And The Relationship With Biological Rhythm

Objective(1)To analyze the differences of behavior problems in different circadian typology of eco-immigrant children and homeland children, relationship between circadian typology and behavior problems, and the influence of circadian typology,fea-tures move, family and classroom environment on the behavior problems in eco-immigrant children and homeland children,(2)and to comprehend circadian typology and seasonal pattern of eco-immigrant children, in order to provide scientific basis of the study in behavior problems eco-immigrant children.Methods First,755 eco-immigrant and 706 homeland children were investigated by Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL), Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire(MEQ), Family Environment Scale(FES) and My Class Investigation(MCI),it was used for general epidemiological research of circadian typology,and compare the differences of behavior problems between different circadian typology, then study the relationship between the circadian typology and behavior problems, then we used the hierarchical multiple regression analysis to analyze the effects of circadian typology, fea-tures of move, family and classroom environment on behavior problems. At second, we used the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire for children(SPAQ-CA) to investigate 755 eco-immigrant children, to study the seasonal pattern and relationship between the circadian typology and seasonal pattern.Results(1)Through comparative research and analysis,the circadian typology of eco-immigrant children were more inclined to morning-type.(2)In eco-immigrant children, the severity of behavior problems was significantly higher in Evening-type children than Morning-type children, and relevant analysis showed that circadian typology and behavior problems have highly correlation. The regression analysis showed that circadian typology(β=-0.26,t=-5.95,P<0.01),willingness to move back(β=0.12,t=2.61,P<0.05)and life satisfaction(β=-0.12,t=-2.56,P<0.05),competition(β=0.13,t=2.10,P<0.05),independence(β=0.17,t=3.20,P<0.05) were found to be impact factors of introversion behavior problems in eco-immigrant children, and circadian typology(β=-0.18,t=-3.94,P<0.05),willingness to move back(β=0.13,t=2.92,P<0.05), teacher-student relationship(β=0.16,t=3.46,P<0.05) were found to be impact factors of extraversion behavior problems in eco-immigrant children, circadian typology(β=-0.09,t=-2.34,P<0.05), contradiction(β=0.12,t=2.12,P<0.05) and student relationship(β=-0.09,t=-2.52,P<0.05)were found to be impact factors of introversion behavior problems in homeland children, circadian typology(β=-0.10,t=-2.68,P<0.05),emotional expression(β=-0.12,t=-3.40,P<0.05) and academic burden(β=0.15,t=-2.91,P<0.01) were found to be impact factors of extraversion behavior problems in homeland children;(2) We found that circadian typology and seasonal pattern have a significant negative correlation, Evening-type has the higher seasonal proportion than Morning-type in eco-immigrant children.Conclusion(1)The Evening-type subjects showed the highest propensity to behavior problems, and the circadian typology more closer to Evening-type, the more serious behavior problems,in this study also found that circadian typology, fea-tures move and family and classroom environment are associated with the development of behavior problems in eco-immigrant children, the circadian typology predicted strongest effect on behavior problems among them,(2)the circadian typology more closer to Evening-type, the more significant of seasonal pattern.
