Introduction: Behavioral problems among children are described as serious negative changes in the way children behave and control their emotions and cause distress to those around them. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to analyze children’s behavioral problems with emphasis on the effects of family resources, especially economic factors.
Method: The research method is field study, and the instrument used is questionnaire. The statistical population of the research includes households that have at least one school-age child and does not have geographic restrictions. Also, bivariate regression and probit model were used to analyze data and information.
Findings: The findings of the research show that assuming the stability of other conditions, the father’s stepfather or the unavailability of the biological father when the child is four years old increases the probability of behavioral problems in the child by 0.165 units. Also, the mother’s full-time employment at the age of eightbincreases the probability of behavioral problems in the child by 0.003 units.
Discussion: Absence of a father at the age of four, due to the divorce or death of the child’s biological father, increases the probability of behavioral problems in the child. This means that children may spend less time with their parents in single-parent families or in stepfamilies. These findings are different from the results of Nozaki and Matsuura’s (2020) and Rice et al’s. (2019) studies. Also, having a private house when the child is eight years old, assuming the stability of other conditions, reduces the probability of behavioral problems in the the possibility of behavioral problems in children. This result is consistent with the findings of Mahmoudi and Mousavi’s (2019) study.
