and the Swedish Child and Adolescent Twin Study the ASEBA questionnaires. In Finland, the Multidimensional Peer Nomination Inventory (MPNI) was employed. For several age groups from different countries, aggression assessed with identical instruments was available. For example, parental ratings with the CBCL were available for 7- to 8-year-olds and 12- to 13-year-olds in the Netherlands (NTR) and Sweden (TCHAD). In addition to indicators of aggression, all instruments provided quantitative scores on other childhood psychopathologies from the externalising and internalising spectrum. We investigated patterns of co-occurrence across age, rater, instrument and gender.
