Adolescents’ emotional engagement plays a critical role in promoting their academic performance as well as overall psychological
wellbeing. As a part of a 3-year longitudinal study, this study drew upon self-determination theory to examine three psychological
predictors of emotional engagement within specific learning contexts. Ninety-four, low socioeconomic status (SES), ninth grade
students (49% male; 32 Blacks, 30 Whites, and 32 Latinos) rated the perceived fulfillment of their autonomy, competence, and
relatedness needs and their emotional engagement in learning settings at multiple time points over a 1-week period. Hierarchical
linear modeling showed that the students’ ratings of their psychological-need fulfillment and of their emotional engagement
fluctuated over time and across contexts. After accounting for student gender, race/ethnicity, and prior achievement, we found
that the fulfillment of each type of psychological need in a particular learning context was related to emotional engagement
in that context (i.e., within-student level). The fulfillment of students’ need for autonomy also was related to their emotional
engagement at the aggregated level (i.e., between-student level). These findings illustrate how the psychological affordances
of particular learning settings are associated with emotional engagement within and between students from low SES backgrounds. 相似文献

Existing research suggests that sexual minority youth experience lower levels of well-being, in part because they perceive less social support than heterosexual youth. Sexual minority youth with strong family relationships may demonstrate resilience and increased well-being; however, it is also possible that the experience of sexual stigma may make these relationships less protective for sexual minority youth. Using two waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we explore the links between same-sex attraction, family relationships, and adolescent well-being in a sample of over 13,000 7th–12th grade adolescents (51 % female, 52 % non-Latino/a white, 17 % Latino, 21 % African American, and 7 % Asian). Specifically, we examine whether lower levels of parental closeness, parental involvement, and family support among same-sex attracted youth explain in part why these youth experience increased depressive symptoms and risk behaviors, including binge drinking, illegal drug use, and running away from home, relative to other-sex attracted youth. Second, we ask whether family relationships are equally protective against depressive symptoms and risk behaviors for same-sex attracted and other-sex attracted youth. We find that same-sex attracted youth, particularly girls, report higher levels of depressive symptoms, binge drinking, and drug use in part because they perceive less closeness with parents and less support from their families. Results also suggest that parental closeness and parental involvement may be less protective against risk behaviors for same-sex attracted boys than for their other-sex attracted peers. Findings thus suggest that interventions targeting the families of sexual minority youth should educate parents about the potentially negative effects of heteronormative assumptions and attitudes on positive adolescent development. 相似文献

Little is known about the impact of the relational context of adolescent sexual activity on depressive symptoms. The present
study examined trajectories of depressive symptoms among 6,602 adolescents (44% male, 60% White) taken from a nationally representative
study (Add Health). Sexually active youth in romantic and casual relationships were first compared to virgins and then to
each other by relational context. Longitudinal, multilevel models examined differences in the course of depressive symptoms
based on sexual activity separately by gender and age group (ages 12–14 and 15–18). Results indicated that when compared to
virgins, any differences in depressive symptoms by relational context of sex were present prior to youth’s sexual debut. The
few significant differences found between youth who had sex in romantic relationships verses those who had casual sex were
present before sexual initiation and not maintained over time, suggesting that casual sex in adolescence is not associated
with long-term risks for depressive symptoms.

A Closer Look at Peer Discrimination,Ethnic Identity,and Psychological Well-being Among Urban Chinese American Sixth Graders 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Recent research suggests that although ethnic discrimination may have negative consequences for psychological well-being among
youth of Chinese descent as it does for other ethnic groups, ethnic identity beliefs may buffer against such effects. Data
for this study were drawn from the Early Adolescent Cohort Study, an investigation of contextual influences on the social,
emotional, and academic adjustment of youth in ethnically diverse New York City middle schools. The present study sample consists
of Chinese American (n = 84) and African American (n = 119) sixth graders. Results suggest that Chinese American youths’ own positive affect toward their ethnic group (private
regard) was positively associated with higher self-esteem. In addition, the more favorably Chinese American youth perceived
that others view their group (public regard), the fewer depressive symptoms they reported. In addition, among Chinese American
youth, more favorable public regard attenuated the negative relationship between peer ethnic discrimination and depressive
symptoms. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of the commonalities among ethnic and racial minority
groups’ experiences of discrimination as well as the unique challenges that Chinese American youth face.

Existing research leaves a gap in explaining why African American adolescents do not exhibit more anxiety and depression than
other youth, at the same time that they experience more contextual risk factors. The current study examined the roles of social
support as well as possible mediators self-esteem and ethnic identity (sense of belonging to one’s ethnic group) in reducing
internalizing symptoms in 227 African American adolescents (mean age = 12.55). Structural equation models indicated that self-esteem
and ethnic identity partially mediated the relation between social support and depression. For depression, ethnic identity
accounted for more of the social support effect for males, whereas self-esteem had more impact for females. The mediation
model for anxiety was supported in females, with self-esteem more important than ethnic identity. The results suggest that
ethnic identity and self-esteem function as important links in how social support reduces internalizing symptoms in African
American youth.

The present study examined the influence of cognitive development in the relationship between multiple types of racial discrimination
and psychological well-being. A sample of 322 African American adolescents (53% female), aged 13–18, completed measures of
cognitive development, racial discrimination, self-esteem and depressive symptoms. Based on the cognitive development measure,
youth were categorized as having pre-formal or formal reasoning abilities. The results indicate no significant differences
in perceptions of individual, cultural or collective/institutional racism between pre-formal reasoning and formal reasoning
adolescents. However, the results do suggest that perceptions of collective/institutional racism were more harmful for the
self-esteem of pre-formal reasoning youth than the self-esteem of formal reasoning youth. The implications for the racial
discrimination literature among African American adolescents are discussed. 相似文献

Considerable research has documented associations between adverse life events and internalizing symptoms in adolescents, but
much of this research has focused on the number of events experienced, with less attention to the ecological context or timing
of events. This study examined life events in three ecological domains relevant to adolescents (i.e., family, peers, themselves)
as predictors of the course of depressive symptoms among a community epidemiologically defined sample of 419 (47.2% females)
urban African American adolescents. Given that youth depressive symptoms change over time, grade level was examined as a moderator.
For males, the strength of associations between life events happening to participants, family life events, and peer life events
and depressive symptoms did not change from grades 6–9. For females, the strength of the association between peer life events
and depressive symptoms did not change over time, but the strength of associations between life events happening to participants
and family life events and females’ depressive symptoms decreased over time. Implications of the findings and directions for
future research are discussed. 相似文献

The links between youth’s daily activities and adjustment and the role of cultural practices and values in these links were
studied in 469 youth from 237 Mexican American families. In home interviews, data on mothers’, fathers’, and two adolescent-age
siblings’ cultural practices (language use, social contacts) and values (for familism, for education achievement) were collected,
along with data on youth risky behavior and depressive symptoms. In 7 nightly phone calls, youth reported on their day’s free
time activities (i.e., sports, academics, religious activities, television viewing, and hanging out). Analyses revealed that
youth who spent more time in unsupervised hanging out reported more depressive symptoms and risky behavior, and those who
spent more time in academic activities reported less risky behavior. Results also indicated that more Anglo-oriented youth
spent more time in sports, that more Mexican-oriented youth spent more time watching television, that fathers’ familism values
were related to youth’s time in religious activities, and that parents’ educational values were linked to youth’s time in
academic activities. Some evidence indicated that parents’ cultural practices and values, particularly fathers’, moderated
the links between daily activities and youth adjustment.

The role of cognitive vulnerability in the development of depressive symptoms in youth might depend on age and gender. The
current study examined cognitive vulnerability models in relationship to depressive symptoms from a developmental perspective.
For that purpose, 805 youth (aged 10–18, 59.9% female) completed self-report measures. Stress-reactive rumination was strongly
related to depressive symptoms. Negative cognitive style (i.e., tendency to make negative inferences) in the domains of achievement
and appearance was more strongly and consistently related to depressive symptoms in girls compared to boys. Negative cognitive
style in the interpersonal domain was positively related to depressive symptoms in both girls and boys, except in early adolescent
girls reporting few stressors. To conclude, the cognitive vulnerability-stress interaction may be moderated by the combination
of age and gender in youth, which may explain inconsistent findings so far. Current findings highlight the importance of taking
into account domain specifity when examining models of depression in youth. 相似文献

Depressive symptoms in Latino youth have been related to both culturally-universal and culturally-based stressors. However, few studies have examined the unique contributions of culturally-based stressors above and beyond other types of stressors. Moreover, no past studies with Latinos have examined the role of culturally-based stressors within a hopelessness model of depressive symptoms, a cognitive model with the strongest empirical support in adolescence. The current study examined these issues in a sample of 171 Latino adolescents (7th-10th grades; mean age?=?14; 46?% male). The Latino adolescents were primarily Mexican-American (78?%) and born in the United States (60?%). Students completed measures during a school period on their experiences of parent-child conflict, economic stress, discrimination from peers, and acculturative stress as well as depressive symptoms and attributional style. The results indicated that culturally-based stressors (e.g., acculturative stress and discrimination) predicted greater depressive symptoms even when controlling for culturally-universal stressors (e.g., parent-child conflict, economic stress). Moreover, a negative attributional style moderated the relationship between culturally-universal stressors and depressive symptoms, but this was not the case for culturally-based stressors. Culturally-based stressors play an important role in depressive symptoms among Latino youth. These stressors predicted greater symptomatology even when controlling for other types of stressors and a negative attributional style. These findings suggest that there may be other cognitive risk factors associated with culturally-based stressors. 相似文献

Family socio-economic status (SES) represents one of the major determinants of youth’s scholastic achievement, and thus it is important to unravel the psychological factors underlining this relation. In this article, we examined youth’s ability to flexibly adapt and, thus, cope with harsh environmental conditions—assessed by the construct of ego-resiliency—as a mediating mechanism in the across-time association between family SES and academic achievement. The longitudinal sample was composed of 265 (56% females) Italian students who were about 13 years old at Time 1 (T1) and about 18 years old at Time 2 (T2). In a structural equation model analysis, family SES significantly predicted ego-resiliency 6 years later while controlling for the latter’s strong longitudinal stability. Students’ school grades at the end of senior high school were also predicted by ego-resiliency assessed at the age of 13, controlling for grades in the last year of junior high school, gender, and initial differences in ages. In accordance with the posited hypothesis, this study provided support for a two-wave meditational model in which the relation between family SES at 13 years and later school grades at 19 years was mediated by ego-resiliency. All in all, results support the argument that being resilient, and thus being able to flexibly adapt one’s own emotional state and resultant behavior, matters to school success. 相似文献

Hispanic youth are at risk for experiencing depressive symptoms and smoking cigarettes, and risk for depressive symptoms and
cigarette use increase as Hispanic youth acculturate to U.S. culture. The mechanism by which acculturation leads to symptoms
of depression and cigarette smoking is not well understood. The present study examined whether perceived discrimination explained
the associations of acculturation with depressive symptoms and cigarette smoking among 1,124 Hispanic youth (54% female).
Youth in Southern California completed surveys in 9th–11th grade. Separate analyses by gender showed that perceived discrimination
explained the relationship between acculturation and depressive symptoms for girls only. There was also evidence that discrimination
explained the relationship between acculturation and cigarette smoking among girls, but the effect was only marginally significant.
Acculturation was associated with depressive symptoms and smoking among girls only. Perceived discrimination predicted depressive
symptoms in both genders, and discrimination was positively associated with cigarette smoking for girls but not boys. These
results support the notion that, although Hispanic boys and girls experience acculturation and discrimination, their mental
health and smoking behaviors are differentially affected by these experiences. Moreover, the results indicate that acculturation,
gender, and discrimination are important factors to consider when addressing Hispanic youth’s mental health and substance
use behaviors. 相似文献

Mexican?CAmerican adolescents are at an elevated risk for adjustment difficulties. In an effort to identify parenting practices that can affect the adjustment of Mexican?CAmerican youth, the current study examined parents?? promotion of psychological autonomy and parents?? psychological control as perceived by Mexican?CAmerican early adolescents, and explored their associations with adolescents?? adjustment in the context of acculturation. In 5th grade, 134 (54.5% female) Mexican?CAmerican adolescents reported on their acculturation level and the parenting practices of their mothers and fathers. In 5th and 7th grade, adolescents also reported on their depressive symptoms, number of delinquent friends, and self-worth. Perceptions of promotion of psychological autonomy and of psychological control were positively correlated. However, perceptions of more promotion of psychological autonomy and of less psychological control predicted fewer depressive symptoms 2 years later. Perceptions of more promotion of psychological autonomy also predicted fewer delinquent friends two years later. Finally, perceptions of more promotion of psychological autonomy predicted higher self-worth only among less acculturated adolescents. The study underscores the roles that promotion of psychological autonomy and psychological control may play in Mexican?CAmerican children??s well-being during early adolescence. 相似文献

Gender Differences in Rates of Depressive Symptoms Among Low-Income,Urban, African American Youth: A Test of Two Mediational Hypotheses 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The present study tested for gender differences in depressive symptoms in a sample of 622 low-income, urban, African American adolescents. Results indicate that adolescent girls in this sample were significantly more likely to endorse depressive symptoms than were boys. To examine possible explanations for this gender difference, 2 variables were tested as mediators of the relation between gender and depressive symptoms: (1) interpersonal stressors and (2) ruminative coping. Results indicate that ruminative coping, but not interpersonal stressors, mediated the relation between gender and depressive symptoms in this sample. Possible explanations for these findings, in light of the common and unique experiences of low-income, urban youth of color, are explored. 相似文献

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (“LGB”) youth may face significant stressors related to their sexual orientation. Few studies, however, have examined youth’s experiences of support for coping with these stressors. The current study compared LGB youth’s perceptions of support for sexuality stress to their support for other types of problems. The links between sexuality stress, sexuality support, and emotional distress were also examined. Ninety-eight LGB youth (ages 18–21, 33% female) rated support from family, heterosexual friends, and sexual minority friends for dealing with problems related, and not related, to their sexuality. From family and heterosexual friends, support for sexuality stress was less available than support for other stressors. Sexual minority friends provided the highest levels of sexuality support. In regression analyses, higher levels of sexuality support related to decreased emotional distress and buffered against the negative effects of sexuality stress on emotional distress. Sexuality support, although less available than other types of support, may be especially relevant to mental health among LGB youth. 相似文献

A burgeoning body of research documents links between sleep and adjustment in adolescence, but little is known about the role
of the social ecology in promoting healthful sleeping habits. This study was aimed at identifying the socio-cultural correlates
of adolescents’ sleep, including average nighttime sleep duration, average daytime napping, and night-to-night variability
in sleep duration and assessing the links between these dimensions of sleep and adjustment in Mexican-American youth. Participants
were 469 Mexican-American adolescents (50.5% female) and their mothers and fathers. Data on family socio-cultural characteristics
and youth adjustment were collected in home interviews with youth, mothers, and fathers, and, during 7 evening telephone interviews,
adolescents reported on nighttime sleep and daytime napping for the prior 24-h period. Night-to night variability and napping
were more strongly linked to youth depressive symptoms and risky behavior than was average nighttime sleep, whereas nighttime
sleep predicted lower body mass index. Lower parental acculturation and fathers’ familism values predicted more healthful
sleep, and higher levels of family income, parental education and neighborhood crime predicted less healthful sleep. In addition
to illuminating the significance of socio-cultural influences on youths’ sleep, this study contributes to the literature by
documenting the multidimensionality of sleep patterns and their links with adjustment in an understudied population. 相似文献

Fear of abandonment has been found to be associated with mental health problems for youth who have experienced a parent’s
death. This article examines how youth’s fears of abandonment following the death of a parent lead to later depressive symptoms
by influencing relationships with caregivers, peers, and romantic partners. Participants were 109 youth ages 7–16 (50% male),
assessed 4 times over a 6-year period. The ethnic composition of the sample was non-Hispanic Caucasian (67%), Hispanic (16%),
African American (7%), Native American (3%), Asian (1%), and Other (6%). Youth’s fears of abandonment by their surviving caregiver
during the first year of data collection were related to their anxiety in romantic relationships 6 years later, which, in
turn, was associated with depressive symptoms measured at 6 years. Youth’s caregiver, peer, and romantic relationships at
the 6-year follow-up were related to their concurrent depressive symptoms. The relationship between youth’s attachment to
their surviving caregiver and their depressive symptoms was stronger for younger participants. Implications of these findings
for understanding the development of mental health problems following parental bereavement are discussed. 相似文献

Adolescence heralds a unique period of vulnerability to depressive symptoms. This longitudinal study examined relational victimization in adolescents?? peer relationships as a unique predictor of depressive symptoms among a primarily (85%) Caucasian sample of 540 youth (294 females) concurrently and across a 6-year period. The moderating effects of emotional support received from mothers, fathers, and peers on the association between relational victimization and adolescents?? depressive symptoms were also investigated. Findings revealed that adolescents who were relationally victimized consistently had higher depressive symptoms than their non-victimized peers. However, high levels of emotional support from fathers buffered this relationship over time. Emotional support from mothers and peers also moderated the longitudinal relationship between relational victimization and depressive symptoms, with high levels of support predicting increases in adolescents?? symptoms. Relational victimization presents a clear risk for depressive symptoms in adolescence, and emotional support may serve either a protective or vulnerability-enhancing role depending on the source of support. 相似文献

The risk for depression increases as Hispanic youth acculturate to U.S. society. This association is stronger for Hispanic girls than boys. To better understand the influence of culture and family on depressive symptoms, we tested a process-oriented model of acculturation, cultural values, and family functioning. The data came from Project RED, which included 1,922 Hispanic students (53?% girls; 86?% were 14?years old; and 84?% were U.S. born) from Southern California. We used data from 9th to 11th grade to test the influence of acculturation-related experiences on depressive symptoms over time. Multi-group structural equation analysis suggested that both family conflict and cohesion were linked with depressive symptoms. Hispanic cultural values were associated with family cohesion and conflict but the strength and direction of these relationships varied across cultural values and gender. For girls and boys, familismo and respeto were associated with higher family cohesion and lower family conflict. Moreover, gender roles were linked with higher family cohesion in girls but not in boys. These results indicate that improving family functioning will be beneficial for boys' and girls' psychological well-being. This may be achieved by promoting familismo and respeto for boys and girls and by promoting traditional gender roles for girls. 相似文献

Previous research on adolescent girls in relationships with older partners suggests a range of negative outcomes for the adolescent.
Using three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health and a life course perspective, we explore
the connection between involvement in age discordant relationships (girls dating males three or more years older) and the
course of depressive symptoms among adolescent girls. Our analyses are conducted on the 1,307 girls with data at all three
waves who had been in a relationship in the last 18 months. The sample is 55% White, 22% Black, 7% other race and 16% Latina.
When comparing early adolescent girls (13–15) and late adolescent girls (16–18), the younger girls are no more likely to have
depressive symptoms before entry into the age discordant relationship, yet have greater depressive symptoms shortly after
the relationship onset and 5 years later. Older adolescent girls in age discordant relationships, however, have similar levels
of depressive symptoms at any time point relative to their peers. These data suggest that a girl’s developmental stage influences
whether or not she experiences emotional distress as a result of being in an age discordant relationship. 相似文献
