Résumé
Problem behavior is a challenge for professionals who must cope with it. The solution is not based on simplistic interventions; it must be multidisciplinary and it may be complicated as many factors may influence it. An explanation of the problem behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective requires consideration of contextual (social), physical (state) and psychological (disorders, emotional state, behavior) factors, as well as the interaction between internal and environmental variables. With the goal of advancing the knowledge of the factors associated with problem behavior, the current study was conducted in different occupational and residential services targeted at adults with intellectual disabilities. The prevalence of problem behaviors and the contextual and individual variables that may be related have been analyzed. Although the analysis was performed using previously validated assessment tools, an analysis of the data led to the development of a brief scale to analyze potential associations between personal and environmental variables. This 19-item scale, with adequate psychometric properties, allows a brief assessment of personal variables (related to physical fitness and skills of the individual) that may impact the perception of external stimuli and thus influence the likelihood of the onset of problematic behavior.
