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.

This investigation addressed the question of how two forms of social cognitive reasoning – epistemic reasoning and adolescent egocentrism – interface with externalizing and internalizing forms of psychopathology during adolescence. Adolescents’ epistemic reasoning (i.e., types of belief entitlement, or degree of doubt, held by an individual when confronted with contradictory sides of an issue), and imaginary audience and personal fable ideation, were assessed in a sample of 29 adolescent boys with behavioral problems and 30 of their peers without behavioral problems. To assess internalizing and externalizing symptomatology, teachers completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL-TRF). Results revealed that, compared to those without behavior problems, boys with behavioral problems were lower in epistemic reasoning. Further analyses revealed consistent relations between dimensions of social cognitive reasoning to specific forms of psychopathology. These findings suggest that social cognitive reasoning, particularly epistemic doubt, is important in understanding problem behaviors among typical and atypical adolescents.

This study examined the relationship between limited English proficiency status, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors
among a sample of Latino/a children (N = 2,840) from the US Department of Education’s Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten (ECLS-K) data set. Results
of cross sectional regression and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses suggest that there is a positive relationship
between limited English proficiency and externalizing symptoms, particularly by third grade. Additionally, sex and place of
birth also helped to explain externalizing behaviors at various time points in the models. Place of birth and family poverty
were significantly associated with internalizing symptoms. Implications for future research and interventions related to internalizing
and externalizing behavior among the Latino/a school aged population are discussed.

Organized Activity Participation and Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms: Reciprocal Relations during Adolescence 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The aim of this prospective study was to examine the relations between organized activity involvement and internalizing and
externalizing symptoms across four years of high school. Participants were 240 adolescents who varied in their risk for psychopathology.
Information about adolescents’ activity involvement and internalizing and externalizing symptoms were provided by both self-
and mother-reports. Structural equation modeling revealed that the prospective models fit the data well. In addition to showing
that activity involvement and psychopathology were quite stable over the high school years, we found reciprocal effects for
activity involvement and internalizing symptoms at some, although not all, time points. Specifically, controlling for prior
symptoms and risk (i.e., maternal depression history), more activity involvement in tenth grade predicted fewer internalizing
symptoms in eleventh grade, which then predicted more activity involvement in twelfth grade. No reciprocal relations were
found for externalizing problems. These findings highlight the importance of examining internalizing symptoms as both a predictor
and outcome of activity involvement during adolescence.

Research examining the relationship between internalizing symptoms and antisocial behaviors has generally been cross-sectional
in design. Thus, although extant data have substantiated a strong correlation between internalizing symptoms and antisocial
behaviors, few studies have focused on describing the nature of the co-occurrence over time. This study examined the relation
between growth in internalizing symptoms and longitudinal patterns of antisocial behavior in a sample of 283 inner-city males
and their caregivers assessed as part of a longitudinal developmental risk study. Participants were assessed annually in four
waves. Non-offenders and escalating offenders had lower levels of internalizing problems at wave 1 than did chronic minor
and serious-chronic-violent offenders. Results revealed a developmental trend of decreasing internalizing problems across
study years for most participants, as would be expected, with adolescents participating in serious, chronic, and violent patterns
of antisocial behavior displaying greater internalizing problems than those participating in stable patterns of less serious
or no antisocial behavior. Further, when there was escalation of seriousness and frequency of antisocial behavior, there also
was increased internalizing problems relative to non-escalating juveniles. Results are discussed in the context of developmental
psychopathology.

The current study, using data from 374 African American students (59.4% female) in grades 7–12 attending a rural, southern
county public school, addressed associations of self-efficacy, ethnic identity and parental support with “future education
orientation.” Both gender and current level of achievement distinguished adolescents with differing levels of future education
orientation. The strongest predictors of future education orientation were self-efficacy, ethnic identity and maternal support.
Gender did not moderate these associations. Implications for future research include the need to conduct longitudinal studies
and research that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to elucidate further the nature and importance of future
education orientation for African American youth. Also needed are policies and programs that facilitate school bonding and
academic performance, as are efforts that focus specifically on enhancing the future education orientation and academic success
of African American male adolescents.

This panel study investigated the directionality of relations between adolescents’ perceptions of their parents’ psychological
control and adolescents’ self-reported internalizing and aggressive (physical and relational) behaviors. Data were collected
from a random, community sample of 530 adolescents ages 12–19 years old at time 1, and again 2 years later. Hierarchical regression
analyses found that adolescents’ perceptions of parents’ psychological control at baseline did not predict changes in adolescents’
internalizing and aggressive behaviors over 2 years but higher internalizing behavior and physical aggression at time 1 predicted
increases in adolescents’ estimates of their mothers’ and fathers’ psychologically controlling behaviors. Higher relational
aggression reported by adolescents at time 1 predicted increases in their perceptions of mothers as psychologically controlling.
This study provides more evidence for child effects on adolescents’ ratings of their parents’ psychological control than for
parent effects of perceived psychological control on adolescents’ behavior.

This study examined the relationship of racial and ethnic socialization and academic achievement in a sample of 218 African
American adolescents (grades 9–12; 52% girls) attending a public high school in the northeastern United States. Researchers
were particularly interested in whether adolescent gender moderated the relationship between racial and ethnic socialization
and academic grades. Results indicated that aspects of ethnic socialization, African American cultural values and African
American heritage were linked to adolescent grades. Additionally, adolescent gender was found to moderate the association
between these socialization variables and grades. The findings also suggest that socialization provided by paternal caregivers
around African American cultural values and African American heritage may have differential effects for academic grades than
the socialization messages provided by maternal caregivers. Information generated from this study broadens the understanding
of socialization factors that can facilitate positive academic outcomes in African American youth and has practical implications
for parents and educators.

This meta-analysis examines the relationship between active coping and psychosocial health among youth. Results from 40 studies
of coping with interpersonal stress were synthesized using a random-effects model. Four areas of psychosocial functioning
were examined: externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, social competence, and academic performance. The magnitude
of the relationship between active coping and psychosocial functioning was small, with correlations ranging from 0.02 for
internalizing behavior to 0.12 for academic performance. Mean effects were moderated by stressor controllability: youth who
used active coping in response to controllable stressors had fewer externalizing problems and higher social competence, as
compared to those who used active coping in response to uncontrollable stressors. Implications for primary prevention programs
and directions for future research on child and adolescent coping are discussed.

Structural equation modeling was used to test [Sandler, American Journal of Community Psychology 29: 19–61.] a theoretical model of risk and resilience in an urban sample of African American and European American adolescents. The aims of the present study were to examine whether self-system processes (i.e., competence, self-esteem, and coping efficacy) mediated the relations between ecological risk and depressive symptoms and to determine if pathways varied across ethnic/racial groups. Results implicate self-esteem as a putative mediator of the impact of ecological risk on depressive symptoms for both African American and European American youth. In addition, coping efficacy was a mediator of the link between ecological risk and depressive symptoms for African American youth, but not for European American youth. The evidence supporting competence as a significant mediator of the relation between ecological risk and depressive symptoms was less compelling. Findings suggest substantial similarities in the pathways between ecological risk and depressive symptoms across African American and European American youth.

This study uses two waves of data to examine the relationships among patterns of racial socialization experiences and racial
identity in a sample of 358 African American adolescents (60% female and 40% male). Using latent class analyses, we identified
three patterns of adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences: High Positive, Moderate Positive, and Low Frequency.
Adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences at Wave 1 were associated with Wave 2 adolescent racial identity approximately
one year later. Specifically, High Positive and Low Frequency racial socialization were associated with racial centrality,
assimilationist ideology, and nationalist ideology. These findings suggest that various patterns of racial socialization practices
play an important role in the developing significance and meaning that African American adolescents ascribe to race.

In this study, we examined the associations between organized activity participation during early adolescence and adjustment
in a large and economically diverse sample of African American and European American youth. The sample included 1,047 youth
(51% female and 49% male and 67% African American and 33% European American). We used analysis of covariance techniques to
examine links between participation in 8th grade school clubs, school sports teams, and out of school recreational activities
and adjustment at 8th and 11th grade, controlling for a set of self-selection factors measured at 7th grade prior to activity
involvement. Organized activity participation was associated with higher than expected grades, school value (i.e. perception
of importance of school for the future), self-esteem, resiliency, and prosocial peers, and lower than expected risky behavior,
though the pattern of findings differed by activity context, outcome, and time point. In a few of the models, the relation
between activity participation and adjustment varied by gender, race, and socioeconomic status.

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.

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.

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.

Development and Validation of the Adolescent Racial and Ethnic Socialization Scale (ARESS) in African American Families 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Racial and ethnic socialization are an integral part of African American parenting strategies. Varied conceptualizations and
operationalizations of racial and ethnic socialization exist within the literature with limited evidence of the validity of
existing measures. The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive definition of racial and ethnic socialization and
to validate a new measure termed the Adolescent Racial and Ethnic Socialization Scale (ARESS). Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA), findings from 218 African American adolescents (grades 9–12) support the multidimensional nature of racial and ethnic
socialization. Results also indicate that racial and ethnic socialization are distinct constructs reflecting the utility of
this instrument for African American youth.

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 purpose of the present study was to examine the direct and indirect effects (through peer contacts) of parental knowledge
on adolescents’ delinquent and aggressive problem behavior, using latent growth curve modeling. A sample of 457 13- to 14-year
old adolescents at first measurement wave (M=13.27; SD=0.45 years) filled out questionnaires about their parents, peers, and problem behavior three times with 1-year
intervals in between. Regarding initial levels of behavior, both direct and indirect effects of parental knowledge were found
on aggressive as well as on delinquent behavior. When the rate of change in behaviors was considered, only direct effects
were found for both types of problem behavior, whereas indirect effects were absent. Gender differences were also found, with
stronger effects of parenting on both aggressive and delinquent problem behavior for boys and stronger effects of peer contacts
on aggressive behavior for girls. The present study shows that different behaviors of the externalizing spectrum have different
trajectories and diverse relations with parenting and should not be treated as identical.

Several studies have indicated that an early onset of delinquent and problem behaviors is associated with a greater risk of
subsequent behavioral and mental health problems. This study builds on that literature by examining histories of behavior
problems in relation to indicators of thriving and precocious behavior during late adolescence. Using longitudinal data from
289 high-risk adolescents, participants were classified according to their problem behavior histories at ages 15 and 19. Findings
indicated that although some adolescents experienced decline over time in their overt behavior problems, those youth showed
fewer indicators of thriving when compared to adolescents with no history of behavior problems. Youth with an earlier onset
of behavior problems also evinced an increased risk for precocious behavior. Gender differences and implications for prevention
through youth development programming are discussed.

We examine the extent to which parental antisocial behavior is related to child antisocial behavior and, if it is, the extent
to which the effect is mediated by parental stressors and by parenting behaviors. In particular, we examine two sources of
stress–depressive symptoms and exposure to negative life events. The study is based on data from the Rochester Intergenerational
Study, a prospective multi-generation panel study. The parent sample is 73% male and 27% female and predominantly African
American (69%); the child sample consists of each parent’s oldest biological child. We find significant levels of intergenerational
continuity in antisocial behavior for mothers and for fathers who live with or supervise their child, but not for fathers
who have low levels of contact with their child. Results of structural equation models of mediating pathways are similar for
mothers and for supervisory fathers. Of the two stressors we examine, depressive symptoms appears to be the more consistent
mediator. It, both directly and indirectly via its impact on parenting behaviors, influences the child’s early onset of antisocial
behavior. The results imply that childhood antisocial behavior has deep roots, extending back to the parent’s adolescent development.
