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.

Number of lifetime episodes, duration of current episode, and severity of maternal depression were investigated in relation
to family functioning and child adjustment. Participants were the 151 mother–child pairs in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives
to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) child multi-site study. Mothers were diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder; children (80
males and 71 females) ranged in age from 7 to 17 years. Measures of child adjustment included psychiatric diagnoses, internalizing
and externalizing symptoms, and functional impairment. Measures of family functioning included family cohesion, expressiveness,
conflict, organization, and household control; parenting measures assessed maternal acceptance and psychological control.
Children of mothers with longer current depressive episodes were more likely to have internalizing and externalizing symptoms,
with this association being moderated by child gender. Mothers with more lifetime depressive episodes were less likely to
use appropriate control in their homes.

This study investigated the interaction between religiosity (defined as church attendance) and spirituality (defined as personal
beliefs in God or a higher power) on psychosocial adjustment. Four groups were created capturing 4 different religious/spiritual
orientations. Differences were assessed between the groups on a wide range of psychosocial indicators. Participants included
6578 adolescents ages 13–18 encompassing a school district in Ontario, Canada. Results were striking with regards to the consistency
with which religious youth reported more positive adjustment than did non-religious youth, regardless of level of spirituality. Spirituality may not be as salient an influence on behavior as religiosity. The secondary analyses indicated that the advantage
for religiosity may not be entirely unique to church attendance, but rather a function of being part of any community. However,
where religiosity may be uniquely associated with adjustment (over and above benefits associated with participation in any
community) is in lower levels of risk behaviors.

Religiosity and Alcohol Use in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Youth and Young Adults 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Despite interest in the role of religiosity in youth development and health behavior, few studies have examined these associations
in sexual minority youth. Participants (n = 11,699) who were adolescents (wave 1) and young adults (wave 3) in the Add Health survey were used to examine proximal
and distal religiosity by sexual identity group and to test group differences in associations between religiosity and alcohol
use. Sexual minorities were less likely than heterosexuals to report a current religious affiliation. In young adulthood,
heterosexual females reported significantly higher distal and proximal religiosity than heterosexual males and sexual minority
young adults. From adolescence to young adulthood, religiosity in all three sexual identity groups (heterosexual, bisexual,
gay/lesbian) significantly declined, with the largest effects found for the sexual minority groups. Distal and proximal religiosity
scores were significantly associated with less alcohol use and less binge drinking among heterosexuals, but not among sexual
minorities. Future studies of sexual minority youth and their religious contexts are suggested.

Doing Well vs. Feeling Well: Understanding Family Dynamics and the Psychological Adjustment of Chinese Immigrant Adolescents 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Desirée Baolian Qin 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(1):22-35
Despite their average high levels of educational achievement, Asian American students often report poor psychological and
social adjustment, suggesting an achievement/adjustment paradox. Yet, the reasons for this paradox remain unclear. Drawing
on 5-year longitudinal qualitative interview data, this paper compares the family dynamics of two groups of adolescents from
Chinese immigrant families: non-distressed adolescents (n = 20) who have high levels of academic achievement and high levels of psychological well-being; and distressed adolescents (n = 18) who have high levels of academic achievement but low levels of psychological well-being. Findings suggest that the
two groups of families differed in parenting approaches after migration, parent–child communication, parental expectations,
and parent–child relations. Implications for Asian American adolescent and youth development are discussed.

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.

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.

Internalization of the thin body ideal is considered by many to account for the relationship between media exposure and disordered eating among girls and young women, but almost all supporting research has employed adolescent and adult samples. Using longitudinal panel survey data collected from 257 preadolescent girls at 2 points in time 1 year apart, we tested relationships between self-reported television and magazine exposure at wave 1 and current (prepubescent) and future (postpubescent) body ideals and disordered eating at wave 2. Controlling age, race, perceived body size, and body ideals and disordered eating measured at wave 1, television viewing at wave 1 predicted increased disordered eating and a thinner postpubescent body ideal at wave 2. In contrast, none of the media variables predicted a thinner prepubescent body ideal at wave 2. These findings suggest that the thin-ideal internalization construct needs refinement to enhance its developmental sensitivity.

This study tested a social-ecological model of adolescent substance use. Multilevel modeling was used to investigate how systems,
such as parents, peers, schools, and communities, directly influence and interact together to influence adolescent substance
use. Participants included 14,548 (50.3% female) middle school students who were 78.6% White, 5.4% Biracial, 4.8% Asian, 4.8%
Black, and 3.6% Hispanic. Participants completed a survey with scales assessing substance use, peer influences, parental influences,
and characteristics of their school and community. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to consider the variation of
parental and peer influences on substance use and how schools and communities relate to both substance use and the relationship
between substance use and peer and parental factors. Results indicated that a positive school climate and a positive sense
of community were associated with less adolescent substance use and that a positive sense of community moderated the relation
between peer and parental influence on adolescent substance use, thereby acting as a protective factor.

The purpose of this study was to examine how partner psychological maltreatment is associated with depression, daily interpersonal
experiences, and affect. Participants were 67 late adolescents (17- to 22-years-old). Each participant completed a survey
followed by reporting affect, and interpersonal hassles and uplifts for seven consecutive days. Compared to those low in maltreatment,
participants in the high maltreatment group reported more hassles with partners and friends, less uplifts with family, and
more depressive symptoms. Multilevel modeling showed that adolescents in the high as compared to the low maltreatment group
were more interpersonally sensitive (defined as greater affective reactions to day-to-day interpersonal hassles). Results
reveal that psychological maltreatment by partners is an especially potent experience that occurs along with greater romantic
hassles and more interpersonal sensitivity. The effects of maltreatment were also found to spill over into relationships with
friends and families by either being associated with more hassles and greater reaction to hassles or fewer uplifts and less
reaction to uplifts.

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.

This study examined (a) the associations between school connectedness and early adolescent adjustment problems over a 1 year
period and (b) the equivalence of these associations across gender. Five hundred middle school students (53.4% female), initially
in the 6th and 7th grades, participated in the two-wave study. Results from two-group cross-lagged panel analyses were consistent
across boys’ and girls’ data. After controlling for baseline levels of adjustment problems, school connectedness predicted
lower levels of early adolescent conduct problems 1 year later. Regarding the opposite direction of associations, and even
after baseline levels of school connectedness were taken into account, conduct problems predicted lower levels of subsequent
school connectedness. There were no cross-lagged associations between depressive symptoms and school connectedness, although
elevated levels of baseline depressive symptoms predicted higher levels of subsequent conduct problems. Findings elaborate
previous research by demonstrating that early adolescents actively shape the middle school environment.

This study examined subjective age (how old one feels) and associated variables in 148 emerging adults, ages 20–30 years.
Seventy-six participants had a motor disability (cerebral palsy, spina bifida) and 72 had no motor disability. Participants
completed questionnaires and were interviewed. There was no significant difference in subjective age between groups. Consistent
with previous research, chronological and subjective ages were significantly negatively related in participants without motor
disabilities. Chronological and subjective ages were unrelated in the group with motor disabilities but higher psychosocial
maturity was related to an older subjective age. Perceptions of how much parents fostered autonomy did not predict subjective
age in either group. In both groups, individuals whose parents treated them as younger reported feeling younger. Number of
role transitions did not predict subjective age. The results highlight the importance of exploring motor disabilities as a
source of diversity in the subjective ages of young people during the transition to adulthood.

Self-determination theory emphasizes the importance of school-based autonomy and belongingness to academic achievement and psychological adjustment,
and the theory posits a model in which engagement in school mediates the influence of autonomy and belongingness on these
outcomes. To date, this model has only been evaluated on academic outcomes. Utilizing short-term longitudinal data (5-month
timeframe) from a set of secondary schools in the rural Midwest (N = 283, M age = 15.3, 51.9% male, 86.2% White), we extend the model to include a measure of positive adjustment (i.e., hope). We also
find a direct link between peer-related belongingness (i.e., peer support) and positive adjustment that is not mediated by
engagement in school. A reciprocal relationship between academic autonomy, teacher-related belongingness (i.e., teacher support)
and engagement in learning is supported, but this reciprocal relationship does not extend to peer-related belongingness. The
implications of these findings for secondary schools are discussed.

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.

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 applies latent growth curve analysis to data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
Health (n = 10,828) and finds that symptoms of depression and social support interact with one another in a dynamic fashion across
the transition from adolescence (mean age at Wave 1 = 15.28 years) to young adulthood (mean age at Wave 3 = 21.65 years).
Parental support during adolescence is inversely associated with initial symptoms of depression for girls and boys, although
adolescent girls with low levels of parental support begin the study period with significantly higher levels of depressive
symptomatology than their male counterparts. In addition, adolescents who begin the study period with higher levels of depressive
symptomatology report less parental support during young adulthood. Finally, regardless of their initial level of depressive
symptoms, girls and boys who experience increased symptoms of depression over time also report lower levels of parental support
at the end of the study period.

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.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between child maltreatment, social support, and developmental outcomes in first-year college students. Participants were 202 undergraduate students (137 female, 65 male) who completed surveys at two time points: once before entering college and once during their first year of college. It was hypothesized that child maltreatment would predict poorer developmental outcomes in adolescence and early adulthood, but that social support would mediate this relationship. Results indicated that child maltreatment related negatively to developmental outcomes and to perceived social support; adolescent and young adult development related positively to perceived social support. In addition, a mediational model in which social support mediates child maltreatment and developmental outcomes was supported.

Differential Parental Treatment,Sibling Relationships and Delinquency in Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The present study examined the moderating effect of the quality of the sibling relationship on the longitudinal association
of parental treatment with theft, vandalism, and violence in adolescence. Participants were 416 sibling pairs which were studied
over a one-year period. The younger siblings were aged 13 to 15, the older siblings 14 to 17 at Time 1. No significant effects
were found for mixed-sex dyads. For same-sex dyads, the results suggested that when the relationship was of poor quality,
younger boys who felt treated less favorably by their mothers were most likely to show high levels of vandalism and violence,
while younger girls who felt treated less favorably were most likely to show high levels of theft. No such effects were found
for older siblings. These findings indicate that differential parental treatment and the quality of the sibling relationship
have gender-specific effects on adolescents’ delinquency and have a different meaning for younger than for older siblings.
