Resilience Among Unemployed and Underemployed Emerging Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study of How Stress and Coping Relate to Depressive Symptoms
Unemployed and underemployed emerging adults (EAs) are at increased risk for depression. However, limited research has examined resilience and coping in this population. This study tested the resilience process by examining whether coping processes mediate the relationship between perceived stress and depression among unemployed and underemployed EAs. Data from 193 unemployed and underemployed EAs (ages 18–25) were collected through an online que…
Predictors of motives for marijuana use in African American adolescents and emerging adults
African American adolescents use marijuana at higher rates and may be more vulnerable to psychosocial risk factors for marijuana use, including depression, post-traumatic stress, and having substance-using peers, compared to Caucasian adolescents. Little is known about how these factors contribute to African American adolescents' motives for marijuana use. This study examined the roles of depressive and post-traumatic stress symptoms and substanc…
Tobacco Abstinence Motives in Young Adult College Students: Scale Development and Validation
Objectives: Our objective was to develop a scale to assess motives for abstaining from tobacco use among young adults. Methods: We analyzed 2016 survey data from 2094 US college students (ages 18-25) who reported no past-4-month tobacco use. We developed a 10-item scale and examined its reliability and validity, specifically in relationship to future use intentions; perceived addictiveness, health risks, and social acceptability of tobacco use; a…

Social Competence in Late Elementary School: Relationships to Parenting and Neighborhood Context
Prospective effects of violence exposure across multiple contexts on early adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems
Background: Violence exposure within each setting of community, school, or home has been linked with internalizing and externalizing problems. Although many children experience violence in multiple contexts, the effects of such cross‐contextual exposure have not been studied. This study addresses this gap by examining independent and interactive effects of witnessing violence and victimization in the community, home, and school on subsequent inte…

Violence exposure across multiple contexts: Individual and joint effects on adjustment
This study examined the relationship between violence exposure in three different contexts (home, school, and community) and internalizing and externalizing outcomes in early adolescents. We modeled both context-specific and cumulative effects of exposure to violence. After controlling for a number of risk factors associated with violence exposure, violent incidents encountered at school and at home were consistently related to multiple outcomes.…
A longitudinal study of stress buffering for adolescent problem behaviors
A 2-wave longitudinal design, with a 6-month interval between occasions of measurement, was used to study the interrelations between stressful life events, perceived social support from family and friends, and the internalizing (e.g., depressive symptoms) and externalizing (e.g., alcohol use and delinquent activity) of problems of a sample of 277 middle adolescents (mean age=15.7 years)
Gender-specific pathways between maternal depressive symptoms, family discord, and adolescent adjustment
Relations among maternal depressive symptoms, family discord, and adolescent psychological adjustment were examined in a sample of 443 middle adolescents and their mothers. Histories of maternal depressive symptoms, gathered at 3 occasions with 6-month intervals, were related to subsequent adolescent reports of depressive symptoms, conduct problems, and academic difficulties for girls but not for boys. Mediational tests indicated that girls' grea…

On the basis of previous literature (Hays, Widaman, DiMatteo, & Stacey, 1987; Huba, Wingard, & Bentler, 1981), four alternative causal models of substance use were specified, estimated, and evaluated for adequacy of statistical fit for samples of White male (N = 9,164) and female (N = 8,421) adolescents. Results supported the adequacy of a four-variable simplex model, in which alcohol use predicted marijuana use, and marijuana use predicted enhan…
Development and validation of a three-dimensional measure of drinking motives.
Deposite consistent evidence that alcohol can be used to cope with negative emotions or to enhance positive emotions, research on drinking motives has focused primarily on coping and social motives. This article reports on the development of a 3-factor measure that also assesses enhancement motives. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we demonstrated that enhancement motives are empirically distinct from coping and social motives and that a corre…
