However, the findings regarding gender differences in sensitivity to chaos are inconsistent. Therefore, the aim of the stody was to stody the gender differences in sensitivity to chaotic environment. Sample consisted of 150 primary school children (8-11 years) including 60 boys and 90 girls and their mothers. Data was collected form Rawalpindi (n = 101) and Lahore (n = 49). To measure home chaos Urdu translated version (Shamama-tos-Sabah & Gilani, 2008) of Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale-CHAOS (Matheny, Wachs, Ludwig, & Phillips, 1995) was used. To assess adjus1ment problems among children, teacher and parent rating scales of Behavioral Assessment System for Children-2 (Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004) were administered. Children's scores on aggression and depression subscales were taken as indicators of their adjus1ment. Two-way ANOV A was run to assess adjus1ment problems among children from high and low chaotic families and to explore gender differences in reactivity to home chaos among children. Results indicated significant main effect of home chaos for adjus1ment problems among children. However, the interaction effect of gender and choas were found to be nonsignificant showing that impact of chaos was same for both boys and girls.
