The impact of cumulative childhood adversity on young adult mental health: Measures, models, and interpretations
Adverse childhood experiences and mental health in young adults: A longitudinal survey
Our sample of young adults from urban, socio-economically disadvantaged communities reported high rates of adverse childhood experiences. The public health impact of childhood adversity is evident in the very strong association between childhood adversity and depressive symptoms, antisocial behavior, and drug use during the early transition to adulthood. These findings, coupled with evidence that the impact of major childhood adversities persists…
Young Women's Social and Occupational Development and Mental Health in the Aftermath of Child Sexual Abuse
We examined social role functioning and depressive symptoms of young adults who were abused as children in data from a longitudinal community sample. Sexually abused women and men were more depressed during their senior year of high school, and this difference was more pronounced 2 years later. We then examined a mediational model to determine whether social functioning explained the course of depressive symptoms over this transitional period. Fo…
Work, Postsecondary Education, and Psychosocial Functioning Following the Transition From High School
Through a two-wave panel study of emerging adults, the authors examine how living situation, work and school roles, and experiences in those roles affect psychosocial functioning following the transition from high school. Enrollment in college programs and fulltime work are associated with lower levels of depressed mood and more positive quality of life. Disruptions in work roles (getting fired, an unwanted period of unemployment) are linked to h…
Career Centered High School Education and Post–High School Career Adaptation
This study examines the quality of the transition into employment roles among a socioeconomically diverse cohort of 1,143 high school seniors who were interviewed as seniors in 1998 and 2 years later. Focusing on both subjective and objective dimensions of work adaptation, analyses examine differences in these outcomes associated with taking a high school career‐major versus a more traditional academic program. This type of major is intended to a…
Navigating Disrupted Transitions: Getting Back on Track After Dropping Out of High School
Using ecological-developmental and resilience perspectives, this study utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the role of family, community, and individual variables in reestablishing school and work pathways for a diverse sample of 182 Boston-area high school dropouts. Extra familial involvement and individual coping style prove the best predictors of on-track status
Race and Ethnic Differences in Depressed Mood Following the Transition from High School
Young adulthood is a period of increased mental health risk, with evidence linking psychological disorder to problematic role transitions. To our knowledge, there has been little or no research that examines the forces shaping minority mental health at this time. Using a diverse, urban sample of young adults who are followed over a two-year period, this paper examines the link between race/ethnicity and depressed mood and the transitional roles a…
Sports Involvement as Protection against Depressed Mood
Working within a risk and protection framework, this research brief examines the protective inà uence of team sports involvement on adolescent depressed mood. The objective was to understand whether sports involvement positively contributes to mental health independent of the effects of other known protective factors (parental and peer support); and whether it moderates the depressive effects of family, peer, and school‐based risk factors. Analys…
Life Stress, Anger and Anxiety, and Delinquency: An Empirical Test of General Strain Theory
General strain theory (Agnew 1992) departs from traditional strain theories by emphasizing the role of the individual's affective responses to negative life experiences in fostering deviant behavior. In this analysis, we examine the central hypotheses of general strain theory using data from a three-wave panel study of high school youths in the Boston metropolitan area (N = 939). Covariance structure models reveal that anger and hostility in resp…

Protective processes in adolescence: Matching stressors with social resources
Working within the “matching theory” of social supports, this research focuses on depressed mood and examines how resilience to stress during adolescence is shaped by developmental constraints on the use of support for coping with problems in the family, peer, and personal arenas. The sample is 1,036 adolescents systematically drawn from 3 community high schools in the Boston area. Predictions center on the efficacy of peer and family supports, a…
Depression and the social developmental context of adolescence
Gender, Social-Relationship Involvement, and Depression
Much of current thinking and research on gender differences in exposure and vulnerability to stress draws on the idea that the salience of social relationships for females is a major factor in their mental health. This study focused on gender differences in depressed mood, and the role of various interpersonal stresses, social supports, and relational involvements in accounting for this difference among adolescents. Findings from cross-sectional …
Mental Health and Social Adaptation Following the Transition From High School
Through a two-wave panel analysis, we examine the effects of the transition from high school on changes in depressed mood, drinking, and delinquent behavior. Two models are examined. A model of life change-stress mediation posits that transitions such as graduation from high school bring about either improvement or worsening in critical arenas of functioning, in turn affecting these mental health outcomes. An interactive model of stress vulnerabi…

Social Structure, Life Stress, and Depressive Symptoms in a High School-Age Population
Data from a randomly selected sample of 1,208 high school-aged adolescents were used to examine the means through which life stress is associated with depressive symptoms. Analyses focus on family structure, socioeconomic status, and gender as background risks which directly and indirectly influence symptoms, as well as vulnerability contexts that shape differential responsiveness to stressful experiences. Findings indicate (1) significant gender…

Social Roles, Sex Roles and Psychological Distress: Additive and Interactive Models of Sex Differences
Determinants of sex differences in psychological distress are explored through estimating additive and interactive regression models, The absence of employment or marriage is associated with depression for both men and women. Also, for this measure of distress, an additive model of social-role effects accounts for the observed sex difference, suggesting a structural interpretation of the genderldepression relationship. For the measure of psychoph…

The data consists of a catalogue of 414 riots from Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester (1800 to 1939). The riots were found using keyword searches of digital newspaper archives and the accounts presented there were triangulated against further archival material (including other newspapers, Home Office records and local police materials). The catalogue describes the basic narrative of the riot and includes codes representing the type of actions done…
