Zamboanga Gustavo Carlo Marcela Raffaelli Psicología Behavior problems and college students Scholars have proposed that diverse problem and conventional behaviors reflect a single underlying factor; however,others suggest that the strength and pattern of interrelations among problem and conventional behaviors are notconsistent across different cultural groups. The present study investigated the factor structure of problem andconventional behaviors in Cuban, non-Cuban Latino, and non-Latino college students. Two hundred and sixty-ninecollege students (70% women; M age=19.0, SD=2.34) reported on their substance use, and involvement in deviant(e.g., fighting, shoplifting, vandalism) and conventional (e.g., school performance, religiosity) behaviors. In supportof the behavior system of Problem Behavior Theory (PBT), a single-common factor accounted for the significantinterrelations among the different problem behaviors for the entire sample. However, variations in the number offactor structures emerged by ethnic group and gender, suggesting that the behavior system may operate differentlyacross these groups.
