Intimate Partner Violence and Adolescent Delinquent Behavior
Quality and Quantity of Grandparent Contact
This study explored how grandparents influence their late adolescent grandchildren's psychological adjustment. Late adolescent participants ( N = 474, 60% female, 63% Caucasian) reported their current relationship quality and degree of contact during elementary school for each living grandparent. Hierarchical linear regressions, controlling for demographic characteristics and parental acceptance, found that grandparent relationship quality, but n…
Parenting Stress and Child Externalizing and Internalizing Problems Among Low-Income Families
Parent–Adolescent Communication Influences on Anxious and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescence
I Wish My Parents Would Stop Arguing! The Impact of Interparental Conflict on Young Adults
Research shows that interparental conflict is positively associated with internalizing behaviors in children and adolescents, but few have considered these associations among young adults. This study uses the cognitive-contextual framework to explore whether appraisals of threat and self-blame explain the expected associations between interparental conflict and internalizing symptoms in a sample of young adults. Perceptions of interparental confl…
Depressive Symptoms and Somatic Complaints Among Zambian Adolescents
This study explored the possible links between perceived stress, coping strategies, depression, and somatic complaints, which have often been supported in other populations, in a school‐based sample of Z ambian adolescents ages 11–19 years ( N = 230; 60% males). Zambian adolescents reported elevated levels of depressive symptoms and somatic complaints, suggesting a need to study this population further. Like previous studies, perceived stress was…
University Belonging, Friendship Quality, and Psychological Adjustment During the Transition to College
The authors collected questionnaire data from college students (N = 79) at 2 time points during their freshman year to examine how changes in a sense of university belonging, quality of friendships, and psychological adjustment were associated. Students who had positive changes in university belonging had corresponding positive changes in self-perceptions (e.g., scholastic competence, self-worth) and decreases in their internalizing problem behav…
Low-Income Multigenerational Households
This article compares characteristics of families, mothers, and children on the basis of whether their household is multigenerational, using data from Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study, which samples low-income culturally diverse families. Few differences were found between multigenerational and nonmultigenerational households, although mothers in multigenerational households reported more internalizing behaviors and fewer posit…
Academic and Psychological Functioning in Late Adolescence
Few researchers have considered the influence of school context, an important construct at earlier ages, on late adolescents' college adjustment. In a sample of second-semester freshmen (N = 266), the authors explored associations between a sense of school belonging and academic and psychological adjustment. Students' reports of belonging at the university as well as in high school were both significant in predicting current academic (e.g., grade…
The Role of Grandmothers in the Lives of Preschoolers Growing Up in Urban Poverty
Little is known about how grandmothers may influence children's development, although they may frequently assist parents in the raising of their children, especially among low-income families. Data from Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study were used to explore how preschoolers function academically and psychologically over time based on grandmothers' residential status and level of caretaking responsibility. Longitudinal regression…

Grandmothers' Involvement Among Young Adolescents Growing Up in Poverty
Grandmothers often play an important role in low‐income minority families through providing support to their adult children as well as care to their grandchildren. However, little is known about how varying types of grandmother involvement may influence their grandchildren's functioning. This paper uses data from Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three‐City Study, a longitudinal study sampling low‐income minority youth from high‐poverty neighbor…

Welfare History, Sanctions, and Developmental Outcomes among Low‐Income Children and Youth
Using a representative sample of low‐income, urban preschoolers (n = 755) and adolescents (n = 1,130), this article addresses links among family welfare receipt, family processes, and child outcomes. For adolescents, family welfare receipt is related to decreased cognitive achievement and heightened behavioral and emotional problems. For preschoolers, both current and past welfare receipt are associated with problematic functioning. Families who …
Mothers' Transitions from Welfare to Work and the Well-Being of Preschoolers and Adolescents
Results from a longitudinal study of 2402 low-income families during the recent unprecedented era of welfare reform suggest that mothers' transitions off welfare and into employment are not associated with negative outcomes for preschoolers (ages 2 to 4 years) or young adolescents (ages 10 to 14 years). Indeed, no significant associations with mothers' welfare and employment transitions were found for preschoolers, and the dominant pattern was al…
African American Adolescent Girls in Impoverished Communities
The relationship between parenting style and adolescent functioning was examined in a sample of 302 African American adolescent girls and their mothers who lived in impoverished neighborhoods. Although previous research has found that authoritative parenting, as compared with authoritarian, permissive, and disengaged parenting, is associated with positive adolescent outcomes in both European American, middle‐class and large multiethnic school‐bas…
