Online published on 13 December, 2018. Abstract Behavioral abnormalities are defined as the amount of person's behavioral incompatibility with social values. Since students are considered as the future capital of all societies, their behavioral health should be considered. This study sought to compare the behavioral abnormalities of students in Markazi and Hamedan provinces. The present study was applied in terms of purpose and was a combination of survey and causal-comparative methods in terms of implementation. The statistical population consisted of all students of elementary and secondary schools of urban state schools in Markazi and Hamedan in the academic year of 2015–16. Out of each province, 410 students were selected by random sampling. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire form Aachen Bach TRF and YSR. T-test with independent groups was used to analyze the field data. The results showed the syndromes that were more dominant in girls compared to the boys: anxiety and depression, physical complaints, attention problems and internalization. In other cases, behavioral abnormalities such as depression and withdrawal, social problems, thinking problems, behavioral abusive behavior, exaggerated behavior and extraversion, were more dominant in the boys compared to the girls. Therefore, behavioral abnormalities are different in terms of sex. Top Keywords Behavioral Abnormalities, Sex, Students. Top |
