The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of behavioral problems of young people with psychological disorders in welfare institutions, according to age and intelligence level. For the purposes of this research, the intelligence of 297 children and adolescents(Average age: 10.77, 182 boys and 115 girls) currently in welfare institutions was tested by means of the Korean-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition(K-WISC-III), and behavioral problems were investigated using K-CBCL 6-18(Korea Child Behavior Checklist). First, age, intelligence and behavioral problems were analyzed by correlation for descriptions. As a result, the variable of age indicated significantly negative correlations with Full IQ, Verbal IQ and Comprehension factor index. Second, participants were divided into three groups based on their age levels(6~9 years old, 10~12 years old, 13~16 years old), and each group`s behavioral problems were compared. The result indicated that there were significant differences in terms of Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, DSM ODD and DSM ADHD. When each age group`s intelligence was compared, the results showed that there were significant differences on FIQ, VIQ, and the Verbal Comprehension factor index. Third, participants were divided into four groups (MR, Borderline, Low Average and Above Average), and each group`s behavioral problems were compared. The results showed that there were significant differences in terms of Social Problems, Attention Problems and Total Problems scores. Forth, participants`s verbal IQ was divided into four levels(MR, Borderline, Low Average and Above Average) and each verbal IQ group`s behavioral problems were compared. The result again indicated that there was significant differences in terms of Attention Problems of CBCL. As a general rule, lower verbal IQ resulted in more attention problems.
