We tested a criterion group and two control groups. The criterion group consisted of children whose fathers were in prison. The children in control group I were from complete families; the level of problem behaviors in these families and the level of psychological resiliency in these children were similar to the respective levels in the criterion group. Finally, control group II consisted of children whose fathers were not in prison; problem behaviors in their families were basically absent or slight, and their level of resiliency was significantly higher compared to prisoners\u2019 children and control group I. Prisoners\u2019 children exhibited a higher level of emotional and behavioral problems than children from families in which the father was not serving a prison sentence and in which the level of dysfunctions was low. As regards prisoners\u2019 children compared to their peers with a similar level of resiliency and a similar level of problem behavior in the family, statistically significant differences were found only in a few categories of emotional and behavioral problems. Parental incarceration proved to be an additional factor increasing the level of behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents\u2014particularly girls\u2014whose fathers were imprisoned.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19010561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]],"date-time":"2022-01-06T03:41:32Z","timestamp":1641440492000},"page":"561","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Behavioral and Emotional Problems of Prisoners\u2019 Children Based on the Children\u2019s Self-Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3088-8018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aneta","family":"Dom\u017calska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Social Sciences and Resocialization, University of Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmie\u015bcie 26\/28, 00-927 Warszawa, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5338-6715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bart\u0142omiej","family":"Skowro\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Social Sciences and Resocialization, University of Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmie\u015bcie 26\/28, 00-927 Warszawa, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Wola\u0144czyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Psychiatry, Medical University of Warsaw, \u017bwirki i Wigury 61, 02-091 Warszawa, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.12740\/PP\/75738","article-title":"Rozpowszechnienie zaburze\u0144 psychicznych w\u015br\u00f3d dzieci i m\u0142odzie\u017cy przebywaj\u0105cych w plac\u00f3wkach opieku\u0144czo-wychowawczych, domach dziecka\u2014Przegl\u0105d bada\u0144 epidemiologicznych","volume":"52","author":"Pawliczuk","year":"2018","journal-title":"Psychiatr.
