Risk factors for depressive symptoms in late adolescence
In a longitudinal study, following a community sample (N = 386) from age 5, early risk factors for depressive symptomatology at age 18 were examined separately for females and males. For females, predictors included low birthweight and death of a parent; for males, they included emotional dependency and internalizing behavior problems. Depressive symptomatology at age 15 emerged as an important risk factor for both genders. Clinical implications …
Antisocial Behavior in Adolescence
In a sample of 404 White adolescents (mean age 14.5 years) from working-class families, striking similarities were found for both genders in levels and correlates of antisocial behavior. Aggressive conduct was most strongly associated with delinquent behavior. Also, both genders reported interpersonal difficulties with intimate relationships and family, including large numbers of breakups with close friends and escalating numbers of arguments wit…
The Many Faces of Correlates of Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
In a sample of White working-class adolescents, 21% scored above 12 on the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), with almost twice as many girls as boys in the high-CDI group. Maternal and adolescent reports indicated deficits in most areas of adolescent functioning in the high-CDI group. Within the high-CDI group, no differences in social class and family structure were found. No gender differences emerged for most correlates of depressive symp…
The effects of marital disruption on adolescents
As part of an ongoing ten-year longitudinal research project, 382 15-year-olds from a white, working-class community were studied. Findings indicate that those who experienced parental separation more recently were most likely to be adversely affected, and that girls from recently disrupted families were more likely than boys to experience problems in emotional and behavioral functioning and were likely to express dissatisfaction with available l…

The differences in physical and social functioning between the elderly and the general population are likely to affect the utilization of social and health services we focus on two areas: (1) determining whether the elderly are affected by factors known to be important to service utilization among the general population; and (2) exploring the relationship between medical, mental health, personal care, and recreational services, and conceptually a…
