The relationship between geographic relocation and childhood problem behaviour / by David J. DeWit, David R. Offord and Kathy Braun.MP32-28/98-17E

Researchers studying problem behaviour in children are looking to family relocation as a possible cause. It is thought that as a family relocates to a new community, a child's behaviour can become problematic due to the breakdown in the social network, such as the extended family, friends and neighbours, who have helped to regulate the child's behaviour.... This study compared the strength of the effect on childhood problems between the length of time since the last move to the total number of moves.--Executive summary
