Although the reliability and validity of the TSCC has been studied extensively, its factor structure has been understudied. Particularly, researchers have conceptualized the TSCC as a summative total scale score without evidence of its psychometric properties. Method: The current study examines the factor structure …

Life stress, social support, coping and depressive symptoms
Major depression is one of the four most prevalent psychiatric diseases in Taiwan. Furthermore, a study showed that 45 per cent of the family caregivers of persons with persistent psychiatric disability were at risk of depression. The present study aimed at examining if caregivers experienced more depressive symptoms than the general population while controlling for other variables (direct effect), and if the constellation of correlates of depres…
Impact of exposure to violence in school on child and adolescent mental health and behavior
Exposure to violence at school remains a significant problem for children and adolescents. This study examined the relationship between exposure to violence at school and child reports of psychological trauma symptoms and violent behavior. The sample consisted of children in grades 3 through 12 in 17 public schools from two different states. Rates of witnessing violence ranged from 56% of elementary‐school students witnessing someone else being b…

High levels of violence exposure at home were associated with adol…

DESIGN AND SETTING: The study employed a survey design using an …
Sexual victimization and substance abuse in psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents
This article investigates the relationship between substance abuse and sexual abuse in a population of 260 psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents. Seven hypotheses are set forth to test a model that uses parental alcohol abuse, sexual abuse status, and gender as exogenous variables, perceived benefit of alcohol or drugs as an endogenous mediating variable, and substance abuse as the dependent variable. Using these variables, a path model was co…

Teenagers Problems
It has been pointed out by the Task Force on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (1976) that too often programs have been planned and implemented on the basis of uninformed speculation. In order to determine the major concerns of youths for purposes of delinquency prevention and resources allocation, a study was conducted in the Cleveland area of Ohio. This study was designed to compare the perspectives of youths and adults toward teenage…
