TI  - Ego control, Ego resiliency, and the Five-Factor Model as predictors of 
      behavioral and emotional problems in clinic-referred children and adolescents.
PG  - 404-15
AB  - The relations of Ego control (EC), Ego resiliency (ER), and the Five-Factor Model 
      of Personality (FFM) with behavioral and emotional problems were explored among 
      116 clinic-referred children. Within the EC-ER model, Ego undercontrol was most 
      important in predicting externalizing problems, and both Ego brittleness (the 
      relative absence of ER) and Ego undercontrol made equal contributions to 
      predicting internalizing problems. Within the FFM, Extraversion and Agreeableness 
      were independent predictors of externalizing problems, whereas only Neuroticism 
      predicted internalizing problems. When the EC-ER model was tested against the 
      FFM, the latter model appeared to outperform the former in predicting 
      externalizing but not internalizing problems; when clinical syndrome groups were 
      examined, dimensions from both personality models were differentially salient for 
      children with primary internalizing, externalizing, or comorbid problems.
