Gender differences in psychological factors shaping smoking decisions of Chilean adolescents
This study examined gender differences in how internalizing and externalizing symptoms affect adolescents' decisions about smoking in Chile, where girls smoke at some of the highest rates in the world.

This study examines the relationship between networks that provide high school students with “social capital for college” (SCFC) and their access to selective institutions. It also explores the link between racial disparities in access to selective colleges and the composition of students’ SCFC networks. Findings indicate that while composition of students’ SCFC networks did not vary by race, it was associated with significant differences in the …

Importantly, few studies have examined whether schools interact wi…

AIMS: We conducted a study to examine if adolescent males and females from Chile differed on how they endorsed the items of the Youth Self Report (YSR) anxious/depressed problem scale. We u…
