Some children develop externalizing and internalizing behavior problems at an early age. Previous research has often treated these children as a homogeneous group, the purpose of this study is to show that this group of children is in fact heterogeneous. Data from theSOFIAstudy was used and preschool pedagogues were informants. The sample contained 2121 boys and girls between 3-5 years. Groups of children with the behavior problems and the risk factors AD/HD symptoms, fearlessness and callous-unemotional traits were created. What different constellations of the behavior problems and the risk factors are there, and what constellations of risk factors occur in the constellations of behavior problems? Preschool children with externalizing and internalizing problems is a very heterogeneous group since children with the same constellation of behavior problems have different constellations of risk factors, this also shows heterogeneity regarding the risk factors.
