The association between sexual debut timing and depressive symptomatology in adolescence and emerging adulthood was examined
using data from Waves I, II and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Respondents who reported never
having sexual intercourse at Wave I and were 18–22 years of age at Wave III were included (n = 5,061). Twenty percent of respondents experienced early (<age 16) and 49% experienced typical (ages 16–18) sexual debut.
In bivariate analyses, pre-debut depressive symptoms were associated with earlier sexual debut among female but not male adolescents.
In models adjusting for demographic characteristics and pre-debut depressive symptoms, sexual debut was positively related
to adolescent (Wave II) depressive symptomatology, but only among female adolescents age less than sixteen. However, sexual
debut timing was unassociated with emerging adult (Wave III) depressive symptomatology for both male and female respondents.
Findings suggest sexual debut timing does not have implications for depressive symptomatology beyond adolescence.

This study of early adolescents from the general population examined the direction of effects adolescents’ depressive symptoms,
aggression, and perceived parental rejection have on one another in a longitudinal study. Over a four-year period, data were
collected yearly from 940 early adolescents (50.6% boys and 49.4% girls) who completed self-report questionnaires of depressive
symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and perceived parental rejection. The longitudinal relationships of adolescent reported depressive
symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection were tested in multi-group structural equation models. The findings
of this study demonstrate that adolescents’ depressive symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection can be viewed
as two unidirectional effects models that work in tandem: adolescents’ depressive symptoms longitudinally predicting perceived
parental rejection and, in turn, perceived parental rejection longitudinally predicting adolescents’ aggression. Additionally,
the strength of these effects diminished as the adolescents grew older and the effects were similar for both adolescent boys
and girls.

Pubertal Timing and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescents: The Roles of Romantic Competence and Romantic Experiences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In spite of the large literature supporting the link between early pubertal timing and depression in adolescent girls, there
are some exceptions. This suggests that there may be factors that interact with pubertal timing, increasing risk for depression
in some girls, but not others. This study examined two such factors, romantic competence and romantic experiences, and their
role in the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between pubertal timing and depressive symptoms among 83 early adolescent
females (89% Caucasian). For on-time maturing girls (but not for early- or late-), lower levels of competence were associated
with higher levels of depressive symptoms concurrently, but not longitudinally. In addition, for on-time maturing girls, more
romantic experiences were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms both concurrently and longitudinally. The discussion
focused on the need for greater conceptual and empirical clarity regarding the pubertal timing-depression association and
its potential moderators.

Using a sample of 7,881 African American (915 males and 1,073 females) and White (2,864 males and 3,029 females) adolescents
from Waves 1 and 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study examined the psychosocial consequences
that obese adolescents encounter as they reach young adulthood. Results indicate that obesity among adolescent females is
associated with a lower status attainment in young adulthood than normal weight adolescent females. In addition, obese adolescent
females have more depressive symptoms in young adulthood than normal weight females, even after controlling for prior depressive
symptoms in adolescence. Obesity status among adolescent males is not associated with poorer psychosocial outcomes in young
adulthood. We did not find evidence of an interaction between obesity status and race, indicating no significant differences
in psychosocial outcomes for obese White compared to obese African American adolescents.

The present study examined the relationship between participation in sports during adolescence and physical activity and subjective
health in young adulthood. A sample of 8,152 (males = 50.8%, females = 49.2%) adolescents from the National Longitudinal Study
of Adolescent Health were used. Results of the study showed that participating in an organized sport during adolescence was
associated with higher levels of physical activity and better subjective health during young adulthood after controlling for
participation in general physical activities (e.g., jogging, biking, skateboarding) during adolescence. Participation in sports
during adolescence was associated with more positive self-beliefs 1 year later that, in turn, were associated with higher
levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity and better subjective health 6 years later. Results suggest that positive
self-beliefs partially mediate the relationship between adolescents’ participation in sports and two health outcomes in young
adulthood: moderate to vigorous physical activity and subjective health. Findings highlight the utility of youths’ participation
in organized sports for promoting healthy outcomes. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

Developmental Changes in Adolescents’ Perceptions of Relationships with Their Parents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This 4-wave longitudinal study examines developmental changes in adolescents’ perceptions of parent–adolescent relationships
by assessing parental support, conflict with parents, and parental power. A total of 951 early adolescents (50.4% boys) and
390 middle adolescents (43.3% boys) participated. Univariate and multivariate growth curve analyses showed that support declined
from early to middle adolescence for boys and girls and increased from middle to late adolescence for girls, while stabilizing
for boys. Conflict was found to temporarily increase during middle adolescence. Parental power (relative power and dominance
of parents) decreased from early to late adolescence. Results indicated that: (1) parent–adolescent relationships become more
egalitarian during adolescence, (2) parents perceived by adolescents as powerful are viewed as supportive, especially in early
adolescence, and (3) perceived conflict with parents is related to but not an impetus for changes in parent–adolescent relationships
towards more equality.

Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), this cross-sectional study examined mediated and moderated associations between
different types of discretionary time activities and depressive symptoms and delinquency among a sample of 246 (107 boys,
139 girls) fifth through eighth grade urban African American adolescents. More time spent in passive unstructured activities
was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms only for adolescents residing in less dangerous neighborhoods, whereas
more time spent in active unstructured activities was associated with higher levels of delinquency only if adolescents resided
in more dangerous neighborhoods. Alienation was positively associated with depressive symptoms and delinquency, but neither
alienation nor positive affect mediated the relationship between activities and adjustment. These findings suggest the importance
of considering neighborhood environment issues when determining what types of discretionary time activities are most beneficial
for urban African American young adolescents.

The current cross-sectional study investigated the links between various dimensions of organized activity involvement and
depressive symptoms, loneliness, and peer victimization in an ethnically and economically diverse sample of adolescents (N = 152; 58% female). Results indicate that adolescents who were involved in organized activities for more years also reported
lower levels of loneliness. There was evidence of diminishing returns when adolescents were very highly involved in organized
activities; those who were either under- or over-involved reported the highest levels of depressive symptoms. Conversely,
findings indicate that adolescents who participated in a narrow or wide range of activity contexts reported the lowest levels
of depressive symptoms. In addition, results suggested that the relation between organized activity involvement and adjustment
differs among adolescents from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Findings from the current study also underscore
the importance of considering multiple indices of activity involvement when assessing its association with adjustment.

Experiences with racism are a common occurrence for African American youth and may result in negative self perceptions relevant
for the experience of depressive symptoms. This study examined the longitudinal association between perceptions of racism
and depressive symptoms, and whether perceived academic or social control mediated this association, in a community epidemiologically-defined
sample of urban African American adolescents (N = 500; 46.4% female). Structural equation modeling revealed that experiences with racism were associated with low perceived
academic control, which in turn was associated with increased depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that experiences with
racism can have long lasting effects for African American youth’s depressive symptoms, and highlight the detrimental effects
of experiences with racism for perceptions of control in the academic domain. Implications for intervention are discussed.

In this longitudinal study, we examined whether certain types of stressful events and how individuals respond to these events
would explain gender differences in depressive symptoms among adolescents. We hypothesized that certain stressful events would
mediate the relationship between gender and depressive symptoms. We also hypothesized that individual differences in emotional
reactivity would impact part of this relationship. Lastly, we examined whether gender differences in early childhood temperament
might explain gender differences in emotional reactivity in adolescence. We examined these hypotheses in a sample of 315 adolescents
(51% females; 93% Caucasian; 3% African–American; and 1% each Hispanic, Asian–American, and Native American) participating
in a longitudinal study of child development since birth. We used multiple regression and constrained nonlinear regression
to analyze the data. Results indicated that stressful events significantly mediated gender differences in depression, and
that individual differences in emotional reactivity to these stressors significantly moderated the relationship between stress
and depression. We also observed significant gender differences in emotional reactivity to these stressors; temperamental
differences in withdrawal negativity in infancy were marginally significant in mediating gender differences in emotional reactivity
to stress in adolescence.

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.

Data were obtained from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine the longitudinal association between
Asian and Pacific Islander (API) adolescents’ perceptions of maternal approval of their sexual activity and contraception
use, and four sexual outcomes during young adulthood. The study includes a nationally representative sample of 1,195 API adolescents.
Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the associations between predictors (Wave I) and outcomes (Wave III), controlling
for covariates. API adolescents who perceived that their mothers approved of their sexual activities were more likely to have
engaged in sex before age 15, contracted HIV/Sexually Transmitted Diseases, had multiple sex partners, and paid money for
sex during young adulthood. Findings highlight the need for parent–adolescent communication and parental involvement in preventing
negative sexual health outcomes among API adolescents transitioning to young adulthood.

Building on research that links gender to differences in well-being and differences in stress exposure and vulnerability,
the current study examines how coping styles are gendered in ways that may contribute to sex differences in depressive symptoms
and delinquent behavior. The study disaggregates stress measures to reflect gender differences in the experience of stress,
examining whether avoidant, approach, and action coping condition the relationship between stress and well-being. Regression
analyses were conducted using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results revealed sex differences
and similarities. The interaction of avoidant coping and stress helped explain why girls had more depressive symptoms than
boys, action coping increased delinquent behavior for girls, while approach coping decreased delinquent behavior for boys
and girls. Assisting adolescents in developing coping styles that discourage avoiding problems or taking quick action, but
that encourage problem-solving, can improve well-being, regardless of sex

This study explored factors that may be associated with early initiation of sexual activity among adolescents. Using the cumulative
risk model, we hypothesized that as exposure to risk factors increases, so does the likelihood of early sexual debut. A sample
of 273 (53% girls, 90% European American) adolescents was followed longitudinally from age 13 to 15. The results indicate
that, for girls, increased television viewing, low self-esteem, poor parental relationships, living in a non-intact household,
higher levels of externalizing behavior (ADHD symptomology), low academic achievement, and parents with low education levels
were associated with earlier sexual debut. For boys, advanced pubertal development, increased television viewing, higher rates
of externalizing behaviors (ADHD and ODD symptoms), and poor parental relationships were associated with earlier sexual debut.
As hypothesized, predictive power increases with the accumulation of these risks; girls are 1.56 times more likely to become
sexually active with an increase of only one risk and boys are 1.90 times more likely.

The current study examined the impact of racial discrimination stress on internalizing symptoms and coping strategies in a
sample of 268 African American early adolescents (mean age = 12.90; 56% female) from low-income communities. Information about
discrimination stress, coping, and internalizing symptoms was obtained via adolescents’ self-report. It was predicted that
discrimination stress would be positively associated with depression and anxiety, as well as culturally-specific coping. Finally,
culturally-relevant coping and mainstream coping were examined as moderators of the association between discrimination stress
and internalizing symptoms. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that discrimination stress was positively associated
with depression and anxiety and predicted culturally-relevant coping while controlling for mainstream coping. Communalistic
coping moderated the association between discrimination and anxiety, but demonstrated a vulnerability function by increasing
anxiety at high levels of discrimination. The results highlight the salience of racial discrimination for African American
adolescents and the importance of considering culturally-specific coping behaviors.

Distinctiveness of Adolescent and Emerging Adult Romantic Relationship Features in Predicting Externalizing Behavior Problems 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Manfred H. M. van Dulmen Elizabeth A. Goncy Katherine C. Haydon W. Andrew Collins 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(3):336-345
Romantic relationship involvement has repeatedly been associated with the incidence of externalizing behavior problems, but
little is known about the nature and developmental significance of this relation. The current study extends previous research
by investigating whether and through what processes romantic relationships distinctively predict externalizing behavior problems
during adolescence compared to emerging adulthood. Data came from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
As predicted, higher levels of romantic relationship security at 16 years were associated with lower levels of externalizing
behavior problems during both adolescence and emerging adulthood, but this inverse relation was stronger for emerging adults
than for adolescents. This relation was not attributable either to earlier quality of family and peer relationships or emerging
adulthood competence. Thus, security of romantic relationships may become increasingly predictive of individual differences
in externalizing behavior problems as individuals move from adolescence to emerging adulthood.

Same-sex Versus Other-sex Best Friendship in Early Adolescence: Longitudinal Predictors of Antisocial Behavior Throughout Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study examines the relationship between having other-sex versus same-sex best friends and antisocial behavior throughout
early adolescence. Participants (N = 955) were recruited in 6th grade and followed longitudinally through 7th, 8th, and 11th grades. Participants were 58% ethnically
diverse youth and 48% girls. Results indicate that the frequency of other-sex best friendship remained stable from 6th to
7th grade but significantly increased from 8th to 11th grade. Higher rates of concurrent antisocial behavior were related
to having other-sex best friends in 6th grade but not in 7th grade. In 8th grade, there was an interaction between friendship
and the sex of friends. Boys with only same-sex best friends and girls with other-sex best friends endorsed higher rates of
antisocial behavior. Having other-sex best friends predicted antisocial behavior from 6th to 7th grade and 8th to 11th grade,
especially for girls. Implications for the development of early adolescent friendship and antisocial behavior are discussed.

The current study empirically examined predictors of level of voice (ethnicity, attachment, and gender role socialization)
in a diverse sample of 108 14-year-old girls. Structural equation modeling results indicated that parental attachment predicted
level of voice with authority figures, and gender role socialization predicted level of voice with authority figures and peers.
Both masculinity and femininity were salient for higher levels of voice with authority figures whereas higher scores on masculinity
contributed to higher levels of voice with peers. These findings suggest that, contrary to previous theoretical work, femininity
itself is not a risk factor for low levels of voice. In addition, African-American girls had higher levels of voice with teachers
and classmates than did Caucasian girls, and girls who were in a school with a greater concentration of ethnic minorities
had higher levels of voice with peers than did girls at a school with fewer minority students.

Researchers have found mixed support for documenting whether work is protective or harmful during adolescence. This study
examined the association between work and problem behaviors among African American youth (N = 592; 53% female; M = 14.8 years, SD = .60) followed from mid-adolescence to young adulthood over eight Waves (90% response rate over the first four Waves and
a 68% response rate across all eight Waves). We explored three competing operationalizations of work: work history (never
worked, worked), work intensity (no work, 20 h or less, and 21 h or over), and work trajectories (never worked, episodic work,
stopped working, late starter, and consistent worker). Non-working youth reported higher marijuana use during young adulthood
than their working counterparts. Nonworkers reported lower self-acceptance during young adulthood than those working greater
number of hours per week. Differences in work trajectories for cigarette use, depression, and anxiety during adolescence imply
that when and for how long youth work are also important factors to explore. Our findings lend tentative support to the work
benefits perspective and suggest that the association between work and problem behaviors may depend on the work measure used.
We discuss the implications of employing different work measures in adolescent research.

This study examined the link between rejection sensitivity, self-silencing behaviors, and depressive symptomatology among adolescent dating couples. Self-silencing was hypothesized to be the process mediating the association between rejection sensitivity and depressive symptoms. Our sample included 211 couples between 14 and 21 who were dating at least 4 weeks. Results indicated that dating adolescents who were sensitive to rejection reported more depressive symptomatology and higher levels of self-silencing behaviors within their romantic relationship compared to dating adolescents who were not so sensitive to rejection. Self-silencing was identified as a partial mediator of the association between rejection sensitivity and depressive symptomatology among dating adolescents. Clinical implications in light of these findings are discussed.
