Abstract
The present research was conducted to find out home chaos as a predictor of behavioral and peers problems among young children. Sample consisted of 80 children (40 girls and 40 boys), with an age range of 3 to 7 years (M = 5.32, SD = 1.26). It was hypothesized that children from families reporting high chaos would show high levels of behavioral and peer problems. Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale-Urdu (Shamama-tus-Sabah & Gilani, 2006) and Strengths and Difficulty Questionnaire (Goodman, 2001) were administered to measure home chaos, behavioral and peer problems and prosocial behavior respectively. Correlation and Hierarchical multiple Regression was run to analyze the data. Home chaos was found to be positively correlated with children’s behavioral and peer problems. Moreover it was also found to be a significant predictor of behavioral and peer problems and prosocial behavior among young children. Implications and limitations and suggestion for future research have been discussed.
本研究旨在找出家庭混乱作为幼儿行为和同伴问题的预测因素。样本包括80名儿童（40名女孩和40名男孩），年龄范围为3-7岁（M=5.32，SD=1.26）。假设来自报告高度混乱的家庭的儿童会表现出高度的行为和同伴问题。使用Confusion、Hubbub和Order Scale Urdu（Shaama tus Sabah&Gilani，2006）以及Strength and Defence Questionnaire（Goodman，2001）分别测量家庭混乱、行为和同伴问题以及亲社会行为。采用相关分析和层次多元回归方法对数据进行分析。研究发现，家庭混乱与儿童的行为和同伴问题呈正相关。此外，它还被发现是幼儿行为、同伴问题和亲社会行为的重要预测因子。讨论了影响、局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
期刊介绍：
Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
