The first study is a systematic review of the literature, untitled Aggressiveness and Depression Expressions in Children and Adolescents: Systematic Review, whose objectives are: a) perform a systematic review of the literature about aggressiveness in children and adolescents assessed by the Children Behavior Checklist (CBCL); b) perform a systematic review of the literature about depression in children and adolescents assessed by the CBCL; c) to assess how aggression and depression manifest themselves in childhood and adolescence. Were used descriptors and criteria for inclusion and exclusion in pre-defined searches in the databases MedLine, Embase, PsycInfo, Lilacs, SCielo and BVS for the two systematic reviews performed considering specific descriptors for aggressiveness and depression, used in separate searches.
