Suicidal behavior in adolescents
Recent suicidal behavior was reported on a questionnaire by 14% of 272 high school students. Two-thirds of the suicidal teenagers neither received help nor disclosed their self-harm to anyone. Depression and stress--especially family suicidality, feelings of violation, and sexuality--increased the risk, as did parental separation, divorce, and most dramatically, remarriage. Family cohesiveness helped alleviate the risk in the nonintact families
Conflict-Resolution Behavior in Adolescent Boys
We investigated three self-reported conflict-resolution behaviors (avoid, attack, and compromise) in a longitudinal study of eighty-one 10th-grade boys drawn from a school-based sample. Boys used all three conflict-resolution behaviors. Boys who frequently responded to parent-adolescent conflict with attack were at risk for the widest range of concurrent adaptational deficit, including both externalizing and internalizing problems. Avoidance was …
Depressive affect in "normal" adolescents
Self-reported depressive affect was examined in high school students in relation to stress and the quality of relationships with family and friends. Higher levels of depressive affect were connected with stress around sexuality and achievement, lower levels of family cohesion, and more problematic peer relationships. The effects of high stress were buffered for boys by positive peer relationships, and for girls by cohesive family relationships
Suicidal behavior in "normal" adolescents
Risk and protective factors were examined in suicidal and nonsuicidal public high school students. With life stress and depression as independent risk factors, family cohesion was found to offset the effect of stress, and friendships to have a more indirect effect. Differential effects of ten sources of stress were analyzed from a developmental perspective, and the probability of suicidal behavior associated with clusters of factors was estimated…
Depressive Affect and Restraint in Early Adolescents
This study investigates the relationship between depressive affect and restraint and family and friendship variables in 103 unselected sixth graders (56 girls). Family measures included family structure (intact vs. two-parent families) and four family processes; communication with father, communication with mother, family cohesion and family adaptability. In addition, friendship support was assessed. Family structure was related to depression, bu…
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Children's Drawings of Same-and Mixed-Sex Peer Interaction
Children's art was studied as a function of (1) gender of child, (2) picture condition (drawings of same-sex versus mixed-sex dyads), and (3) child-rearing setting (U.S. town [N = 89] versus Israeli town [N = 132] versus Israeli kibbutz [N = 88]). Pictures were scored for theme or focus of activity (mastery versus social interaction) and for the nature of the interaction (cooperation, competition, aggression, power/ dominance). Boys drew more the…
Caregiving and infant behavior in day care and in homes
Social interaction and play behavior were compared in community-based day care and at home for 2 matched groups of 18-mo-olds (30 Ss). Adult-infant, infant-peer, and infant-toy interaction were time sampled. More adult-infant play, tactile contact, and reciprocal smiling were found in day care. More
