This article reviews literature on witnessing violence (covictimization) in children and adolescents. As violent incidents have increased dramatically in urban areas, so has exposure by inner-city youth to violence in the home, school, and community. In reaction to witnessing violence, youth may present symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Separation Anxiety and Depression, evince disturbed grieving and bereavement, show a number of externalizing behaviors including aggressiveness, have impaired interpersonal and family relations, and show declines in academic performance. A number of factors may mediate the impact of violence exposure including age, gender, and history of prior trauma. Mental health assessment and treatment efforts for youth who have witnessed violence have been limited. Directions for future investigation are highlighted.Received Ph.D. in clinical/community psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1994. Research interests include group therapy with adolescents, teenage parenting, social skills assessment and training, and development of programs to assess, prevent, and treat violence exposure in urban youth.Received Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1991. Research interests include evaluation and development of school-based mental health services, empirical selection of treatment targets for children and adolescents, development of interventions to assist youth who are exposed to violence, and identification of resilience factors for urban youth. 相似文献

Appraisals about the implications of stressful events that are evaluated as involving a threat to self (negative self-evaluation,
negative evaluation from others, rejection by others) have been shown to place youth at risk for the development of mental
health problems. This longitudinal study tested a protective-stabilizing interactive model, in which high maternal acceptance
was predicted to mitigate the prospective relation between threat to self appraisals and change in adolescents’ mental health
problems six months later. Participants were 89 adolescents from divorced families ages 10–12 and residential mothers. Adolescents
reported on threat to self appraisals from the most stressful event experienced in the past month. Mothers and youth reported
on maternal acceptance and mental health problems. Multiple regression analyses provided support for the protective effects
of maternal acceptance on adolescents’ mental health problems. Intervention implications are discussed.

The transition to high school has been identified as a potentially difficult time in adolescents’ lives. Reductions in both
academic and social functioning often accompany this transition. While these effects have been documented in urban youth,
the move to high school has not been extensively studied in rural minority youth. Toward that end, the academic grades and
substance use in ninth grade of 447 (184 male and 263 female) African-American adolescents from two rural counties in a state
in the deep South were examined in relation to configurations of adaptation from sixth through eighth grade. Results indicate
that individual with consistently positive patterns across middle school had higher grades and lower rates of substance use
compared to individuals with persistent difficulties or those that transitioned to problem behavior. Many individuals who
improved in their patterns of adaptation had relatively high grades, but also rather high rates of substance use in the ninth
grade.

The present research investigated differences in levels of impulsivity among early-onset, late-onset, and non-offending adolescents. 129 adolescents (114 males, 15 females), of whom 86 were institutionalised (M age=15.52 years) and 43 were regular school students (M age=15.40 years) participated. Each participant completed the Adapted Self-Report Delinquency Scale, Stroop Colour and Word Test, Time Perception task, Accuracy Game, Risk-Taking Game, and the Eysenck Impulsiveness Questionnaire. Results suggest that adolescents who display rapid cognitive tempo, poor mental inhibitory control, and high impulsivity are more likely to be early-onset offenders. Offender and non-offender groups showed significant differences on several measures of impulsivity, which may suggest that late-onset offenders acquire or exacerbate impulse-related problems through social mimicry of early-onset offender peers. Potentially important implications for our understanding of delinquency and the design and provision of prevention programs are highlighted.Senior Lecturer in Educational Psychology at the School of Education, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

This study examined the role of adolescents’ and mothers’ self-reports of English and heritage language proficiency in youth’s
academic and emotional adjustment among 444 Chinese American families. Adolescents who were proficient in English tended to
exhibit higher reading achievement scores, math achievement scores, and overall GPA. Mothers who were English proficient tended
to have children with higher academic achievement and fewer depressive symptoms. Results also indicated that adolescents’
heritage language maintenance was associated with positive adjustment, particularly amongst foreign-born youth and for youth
whose parents were highly proficient in the heritage language. Mother-adolescent match in heritage language proficiency was
related to higher math achievement scores and overall GPA. Additionally, higher heritage language proficiency was associated
with fewer depressive symptoms for foreign-born but not U.S.-born youth. Overall, the findings suggest that proficiency in
both the English and heritage language may confer advantages to Chinese American youth.

Although numerous cross-national studies have assessed life satisfaction among adults, similar studies using adolescent samples
have been rare. To address this shortage of research, a total of 1338 youth adolescents from two individualistic nations (Ireland,
USA) and two collectivistic nations (China, South Korea) were administered the Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS: Huebner, 1994) to assesses general life satisfaction and satisfaction with family, friends, school, self, and living environment. Responses
were analyzed to assess potential cross-national differences in (a) mean levels of life satisfaction, and (b) response styles,
specifically acquiescence and extreme responding. Mean scores revealed positive ratings by adolescents from all four nations
across all domains, with the exceptions of satisfaction with school experiences (Ireland, South Korean, USA), living environment
(China, South Korea), self (South Korea), and general life satisfaction (South Korea). Results also revealed significant response
style differences across all MSLSS domains. Significant gender and gender-by-nation effects were observed for both mean score
and response style differences, although the effect sizes were small. The implications of these findings were discussed, particularly
with respect to “individualistic” vs. “collectivistic” cultural differences.

Prior studies have examined the influence of neighborhood perceptions on youth outcomes, but few studies have examined whose
report of neighborhoods, parents’ or youths,’ are most important in predicting youth outcomes. This study addresses the relative
associations of youths’ and mothers’ neighborhood perceptions with youth alcohol use and delinquency. The sample includes
499 mother-child dyads (youth age: 10 to 16 [mean=13.3; SD=2]). Structural equation modeling showed that youths’ perceived neighborhood problems were significantly associated with
their delinquency but not their alcohol use. However, mothers’ perceived neighborhood problems were not related to either
youth alcohol use or delinquency, suggesting that youths’ perceptions are better indicators of youth behavior. Youth reports
may reflect their activities in the neighborhood and their exposure to different forms of deviance, so youths’ reports would
be better indicators of exposure to neighborhood risk. Challenges for prevention are discussed.

Evaluated psychosocial differences between adolescent users and nonusers of an urban school-based health clinic, considering the influence of gender. As expected, a number of gender differences were found (e.g., girls reported more fear, were rated as more likeable by peers than boys). Examination of differences based purely on clinic use indicated that nonusers were rated as more socially withdrawn by their peers than clinic users; otherwise, these two groups did not differ on psychosocial measures. Gender by clinic-status interaction effects were found for academic measures (e.g., nonusing boys had more absences and lower grades than boys who used the clinic). A group of intensive clinic users (n=14) reported higher levels of emotional distress than other students, and surprisingly, most of these students were not receiving mental health services.Received Ph.D. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1991.

The present study examined cultural orientation as a protective factor against tobacco and marijuana smoking for African American
young women (ages 18 to 25). African American college students (N=145) from a predominantly White university were administered subscales from the African American Acculturation Scale-Revised
(AAAS-R); the shortened Individualism/Collectivism (INDCOL) Scale; a Tobacco and Drug Use Survey; and a background survey.
Multiple logistic regression was conducted using cultural orientation variables as predictors and smoking status (i.e., tobacco
and marijuana) as the criterion. It was expected that young women who endorsed traditional African American cultural characteristics
(i.e., religious beliefs, health, family values, and socialization) and were collectivistic in their community (i.e., cultural
interdependency) and familial (i.e., familial interdependency) interactions would be less likely to smoke. Results show that
traditional religious beliefs and practice was protective against tobacco smoking for this sample of young women. Familial
interdependency (e.g., supportive exchanges between friends, and consultation and sharing with parents), and traditional religious
beliefs and practices surfaced as protective factors against marijuana smoking. Traditional health beliefs and practices was
a risk factor for both tobacco and marijuana smoking. The implications signal the need for smoking prevention and cessation
programs to focus on interpersonal factors which may strengthen African American young women’s religious and familial bonding.

Although multiracial individuals are the fastest growing population in the United States, research on the identity development of multiracial adolescents remains scant. This study explores the relationship between ethnic identity, its components (affirmation, exploration), and mental health outcomes (anxiety, depressive symptoms) within the contexts of schools for multiracial adolescents. The participants were multiracial and monoracial minority and majority high school students (n = 4,766; 54.6 % female). Among the participants, 88.1 % were Caucasian, 7.4 % were African American, and 4.5 % were multiracial. The research questions examined the relationship between ethnic identity exploration and affirmation on mental health outcomes and explored the role school context plays in this relationship. The findings suggested that multiracial youth experience more exploration and less affirmation than African Americans, but more than Caucasians. In addition, multiracial youth were found to have higher levels of mental health issues than their monoracial minority and majority peers. Specifically, multiracial youth had higher levels of depressive symptoms than their African American and Caucasian counterparts. Multiracial and Caucasian youth had similar levels of anxiety but these levels were significantly higher than African Americans. School diversity did not influence mental health outcomes for multiracial youth. These findings provide insight into the experiences of multiracial youth and underscore the importance of further investigating factors that contribute to their mental health outcomes. 相似文献

Unmet mental health need is a significant problem for adolescents. Although stigma is identified as a major barrier to the
use of mental health services among youth, there is limited research on this topic. In-depth interviews (n=57) among a sample of 8th grade students in a suburban, mid-Atlantic community portray adolescent mental health attitudes
and how these views are shaped. Satisfactory personal experiences with mental health services as well as accurate mental health
knowledge contribute to positive mental health attitudes among teens. The anticipation of negative responses towards mental
health care-seeking from family members, peers, and school staff are key factors in teens’ comfort and willingness to address
mental health concerns. The research provides critical information on the factors that contribute to the development of stigma
and emphasizes the need to address stigma in youth mental health education, programs, and treatment plans.

This study investigated the potential effects of alcohol price increases on alcohol-related attitudes and perceptions of youth. Data were collected through a survey of high school students conducted after the federal excise taxes on alcohol beverages were increased in January 1991. Survey data lend support to previous research showing that higher alcohol prices contribute to lower alcohol consumption by youth, as well as to a decrease in related problems such as driving while intoxicated. Survey data also suggest that a price of around $7.50 for a six-pack of beer or a four-pack of wine coolers would discourage purchases by youth. Further studies are called for to substantiate and to expand on these findings with more diverse adolescent populations.Received M.P.H. in health education from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The current study modeled trajectories of substance use from ages 15 to 20 among 1,095 male serious juvenile offenders (M age = 16.54; 42% African-American, 34% Latino, 20% European-American, and 4% other ethnic/racial backgrounds) and prospectively
predicted trajectories from risk and protective factors before and after controlling for time spent in a supervised setting.
Results indicated that supervised time suppressed age-related growth in substance use. Trajectories of offenders with no supervised
time and low levels of supervised time increased in substance use across age, whereas offenders with high levels of supervised
time showed no growth. Almost all risk and protective factors had effects on initial substance use but only adolescent history
of substance use, impulse control, and psychosocial maturity had an effect on change in substance use over time. Findings
highlight the importance of formal sanctions and interventions superimposed on normal developmental processes in understanding
trajectories of substance use among serious juvenile offenders.

The authors were interested in discovering the spectrum and prevalence of sexual problems among young adults. With this goal in mind, they devised a Sexual Problems Check List as a comprehensive instrument utilizable by both clinicians and researchers. The Sexual Problems Check List was derived by reviewing therapists' treatment summaries and 146 recent answers to applications written by patients themselves as the first step in applying for treatment at a university mental health clinic. Data were then obtained from 52 subsequent student mental health clinic patients; such patients were selected as the sample because they were late adolescents and young adults thought likely to exhibit a broad range of clinically significant probelms. General patterns of concerns were noted which indicated that the sexual revolution has not been as liberating as the respondents were led to believe.Received his M.

Unfortunately, for many mental health professionals classroom teachers and other educators are, at best, viewed primarily or solely as useful sources of information about a child, and their broader, invaluable roles as members of the mental health team are diminished or dismissed. This article examines the conceptual rationale and empirical support for central involvement of educators (especially classroom teachers) in effective mental health services, and in effective expanded school-based mental health programs. The importance of partnerships with educators for school-wide mental health promotion efforts, as well as for the success of primary and secondary prevention initiatives, are highlighted. Effective strategies and recommendations for enhancement of educator-mental health professional collaboration are included. 相似文献

Participants for this study included 268 youth involved in treatment outcome studies with substance abusing homeless youth.
Results suggest that GLB youth have greater HIV risks and that these risks are greater among bisexual females. In examining
the predictors of sexual health risks, survival sex emerged as the most significant. Survival sex was high among females regardless
of their sexual orientation and also among gay males. Implications of these findings suggest that a greater emphasis needs
to be paid to preventive interventions among this population.

The current study investigated whether the presence of school-based mental health clinicians in an urban school district was associated with reduced out-of-school suspension rates. Forty one elementary schools with expanded school mental health (ESMH) programs were compared to 41 schools without ESMH programs. Correlational analyses revealed associations between suspension outcomes and several school-level demographic variables including school attendance rate, percent of students in poverty, and percent of nonwhite students in the school. After controlling for these variables, however, results of stepwise linear regressions demonstrated no significant differences between ESMH and non-ESMH schools on suspension outcomes. Results of the current study suggest that the presence of ESMH clinicians will not necessarily impact suspension rates in an elementary school. Targeted and well-implemented approaches to address behaviors that lead to suspension, or school- and system-level policies to provide alternatives to suspensions, will likely be a better route to achieving this outcome. 相似文献

Explored the influence of life stress as mediated or moderated by locus of control, family environment, social support, and coping style on psychological adjustment and school performance in 164 ninth graders from Baltimore. Gender differences in findings were shown. For boys, family cohesion was the only variable found to protect against the effects of stress. Family cohesion did not serve protective functions for girls, and along with overall social support, was associated with increased vulnerability to school problems. The report of problem-focused coping strategies exerted a number of protective functions for girls only. External locus of control was found to increase boys' and girls' vulnerability to the effects of life stress. Empirical development of interventions to improve the psychosocial adjustment of inner-city adolescents is discussed.Received Ph.D. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1991.

The Mental Health of 13–17 Year-Olds in Australia: Findings from the National Survey of Mental Health and Well-Being 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The prevalence of 3 mental disorders (Depressive Disorder, Conduct Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder),
the prevalence of mental health problems, and rates of health-risk behaviours among those with problems, along with patterns
of service utilisation, are reported for 1490 adolescents aged 13–17 years in Australia. Mental disorders were assessed using
the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV completed by parents. Parents and adolescents also completed standard
questionnaires designed to assess mental health problems, health-risk behaviours and service use. On the basis of parent reports,
13% of adolescents were identified as having mental health problems, while 19% were identified as having problems on the basis
of adolescent reports. Many of the adolescents with mental health problems also had problems in other areas of their lives.
Only 31% of those identified by parents as having mental health problems and 20% of adolescents who identified themselves
as having problems, had attended a professional service during the 6 months prior to the survey. School counselling was the
service most frequently attended. Clinical and population health interventions must take into account the presence of co-morbid
problems and low rates of health service usage reported amongst adolescents with mental health problems.

This study concerns the relationship between knowledge of drug culture and substance use. Results from a sample of 2,635 middle and high school students indicate that (1) knowledge of drug culture is positively correlated with substance use; (2) drug knowledge is more reliable and coherent in older youth; (3) drug knowledge is unrelated to other kinds of knowledge acquired in school; (4) youth exposed to peers' substance use in school have more drug knowledge; and (5) the earlier young people begin using drugs and alcohol, the more they know about the drug culture. Results suggest that knowledge of the drug culture may be an unobtrusive indicator of substance use problems.This project was made possible by a grant from the Tulsa Psychiatric Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma.Received Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley in personality psychology.
