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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Changes in the family structure can be very disruptive to adolescents who live in those families. This article examines the
impact of the number of family transitions on delinquent and drug-using behavior. Specifically, the effect of family transitions
is hypothesized to be mediated by problems within the family, school, and peer settings. A sample of 646 boys (73%) and girls
(27%) taken from a longitudinal panel study of high-risk adolescents are used to examine these hypotheses. For girls, little
support is found for the direct or the indirect effect of family transitions on delinquent behavior or drug use. For boys,
however, both forms of problem behavior are influenced by family transitions directly and indirectly through changes in, and
problems with, peer associations. The findings suggest that during times of family turmoil, the friendship network of adolescent
male children is also disrupted, leading to an increase in associations with delinquent others and, in turn, an increase in
problematic behaviors.

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.

A number of models have been proposed to explain the relationship between family structure and adolescent problem behaviors, including several that consider parent-child relations, family income, stress, and residential mobility. However, studies have not explored whether the different types of communities within which families reside affect the association between family structure and problem behaviors. A community context model also suggests that the relationship between family structure and problem behaviors may be conditioned by community characteristics. The results of a multilevel regression model that used data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS; n = 10,286) indicated that adolescents from homes with a recently divorced mother, a mother and stepfather, a single mother, or a single father reported more problem behaviors regardless of the community context. Moreover, adolescents living in communities with a high proportion of impoverished residents, female headed households, or jobless males reported more problem behaviors irrespective of family structure.

Adolescents’ Reports of Parental Engagement and Academic Achievement in Immigrant Families 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of the effects of perceived parental engagement on adolescents’
academic achievement in immigrant families. Self-report data were collected from 1,245 adolescents in immigrant families from
four high schools in Los Angeles County. The sample characteristics follow: 13–16 years old (M = 14.5); 58.9% female, 41.1% male; 57.5% Latino; 40.6% 1st generation youth (i.e., foreign born), 59.4% 2nd generation youth.
After controlling for parental educational attainment, parental engagement variables were indirectly related to grades through
youths’ academic engagement. Multigroup SEM indicated some differences between genders, generational statuses, and ethnicities
(Latinos versus others). Adolescents’ perceptions of monitoring by mothers and fathers were indirectly related to grades through
academic engagement. Perceived educational advice by mothers was indirectly related to grades through academic engagement
for non-Latinos, boys, and 2nd generation youth. Perceived mothers’ schoolwork help was positively related to adolescents’
academic engagement in all the models (except 2nd generation youth), yet fathers’ schoolwork help was significant only for
girls and 2nd generation youth.

We investigated whether role models (individuals adolescents look up to) contributed to the resilience of adolescents who
were exposed to negative nonparental adult influences. Our sample included 659 African American, ninth-grade adolescents.
We found that adolescents’ exposure to negative adult behavior was associated with increased externalizing, internalizing,
and substance using behaviors, as well as more negative school attitudes and behavior. We found that role models had protective
effects on externalizing and internalizing behaviors and compensatory effects on school outcomes. Collectively, our findings
indicate that role models can contribute to the resilience of African American adolescents who are exposed to negative nonparental
adult behavior.

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.

The purpose of the present study was to examine how peer group processes of pressure and control and individual motivations
for popularity would add to, and moderate the relationship between, childhood maltreatment and risky behavior in adolescence.
A total of 1558 youth (804 girls) from three high schools in Ontario, Canada (M age = 15.02 years, SD = .86) reported on their alcohol use, delinquent behavior, childhood experiences of physical and emotional
maltreatment and neglect, peer group processes involving control and individual popularity motivations. Regression analyses
showed that, beyond the significant contributions of childhood maltreatment, peer group control predicted risky alcohol use
and delinquent behavior. Peer group control and popularity motivations exacerbated the negative effect of physical maltreatment
on delinquent behavior. Boys’ experiences of peer group control were more strongly linked to alcohol use and delinquent behavior
than girls’. These results suggest that there is a significant window of opportunity during adolescence where the peer group
context can exacerbate or buffer childhood experiences.

The Skinny on Body Dissatisfaction: A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Girls and Boys 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
The present study tested whether theoretically derived risk factors predicted increases in body dissatisfaction and whether gender moderated these relations with data from a longitudinal study of 428 adolescent girls and boys because few prospective studies have examined these aims, despite evidence that body dissatisfaction increases risk for various psychiatric disturbances. Body dissatisfaction showed significant increases for girls and significant decreases for boys during early adolescence. For both genders, parental support deficits, negative affectivity, and self-reported dietary restraint showed significant relations to future increases in body dissatisfaction. Ideal body internalization and body mass index did not demonstrate significant relations to future increases in body dissatisfaction; peer support deficits showed a marginal relation to this outcome. Gender did not moderate these relations, despite adequate power to detect interactive effects.

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.

This study examined the cultural and developmental significance of maternal and paternal parenting processes (closeness, support, monitoring, communication, conflict, and peer approval) for measures of anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents from Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States (N=6,935). Across all cultural contexts, measures of maternal and paternal support and conflict were most consistently associated with measures of internalizing behaviors. Few differences were observed in the importance of individual parenting processes for anxiety or depression symptoms across cultures. Additionally, with the exception of maternal conflict for anxiety and depression symptoms and paternal closeness for depression symptoms, none of the parenting process dimensions differed in importance for internalizing behaviors across developmental periods (middle versus late adolescence). The investigation provides evidence of great similarity in developmental processes, both across cultural contexts and developmental periods.

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
