Abstract
The paper analyzes the relationship between maladjustment behaviour and cognitive functioning in children. The investigation covered 177 pre-school children, 102 boys and 75 girls. The average age was 6 years and 3 months. The following instruments were applied: Praper Maladjustment Symptoms Questionnaire, Goodenough Draw a Man Test, Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test, Kohs Block Design Test and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - verbal scale. Low, but relatively consistent negative correlations were found between total number of maladjustment symptoms and measures of verbal intelligence in the total sample. However, correlations were not significant in the female sample as well as for the non-verbal tests. The results, to a certain degree, justify the hypothesis about the integrative functiooning of an individual's personality.
