“…The subscale reliabilities were found to be stable with a younger group of children. In both samples, the ALAC successfully differentiated the mental health clinic sample from the normative and medical groups (p < 0.0001) (Gleser et al 1977).…”

Losing loved ones through death is a common experience for children. Children living in urban centers may be at greater risk for death of family members as a result of increased daily stress and poverty. Children who experience permanent loss of family members without support to grieve are at greater risk for mental health problems. Manifestations of grief that frequently occur in children are psychosomatic complaints and affective distress. This study investigates the prevalence of loss by death among two groups of inner city youths, and the impact of a bereavement group experience on subjects' affective distress and somatic complaints. A significant difference was found between pretest and post‐test scores on somatic complaints for the elementary school aged group.

“…Verbal samples were selected as part of the assessment and evaluation procedures for this project. However, in order to interpret these and other measures (see Gleser et al, 1977), normative data were needed. It was decided, therefore, to administer several paper-and-pencil tests, as well as to obtain verbal samples on a stratified random sample of Black and White male and female youngsters aged 11-18.…”

Data are reported which extend the applicability of the Gottschalk-Gleser scales for the content analysis of speech samples to adolescents. The data were gathered on 112 youngsters aged 11-18 stratified by age, race, and sex in a balanced design. Girls had higher Anxiety scores and relatively lower scores on Hostility Directed Inward, Ambivalent Hostility, and Social Alienation and Personal Disorganization than did boys. Blacks spoke less words and expressed more Overt Hostility Outward than did Whites. These latter scores increased with age, as did Hostility Directed Inward. The affect scores for this normative group are also compared to those for "normal" adults and to an adolescent clinic and a juvenile delinquent population. Correlations with three paper-and-pencil inventories (Adolescent Life Assessment Checklist, Defense Mechanisms Inventory, and Rotter I-E scale) are presented.

“…Ziskel and Moses (1971) found that self-esteem scores for black and white fifth and sixth graders were higher than for Puerto Rican children in their sample. Further, one study suggests that there are ethnic differences in the areas of positive and negative psychological functioning (Gleser, Seligman, Winget, & Rauh, 1977).…”

Research on ethnic group differences has suggested that (a) adolescents from various groups differ on a number of dimensions that have been related to risk for substance use initiation, and (b) adolescents of different groups choose different substances. However, there is little consensus regarding the reasons for such differences. There is an especially high rate of alcohol use among Hispanic adolescents, and Hispanics are at high risk for alcohol abuse. In light of ethnic group differences in both substance use and the precursors of substance use in adolescence, this study examined differences among black, Anglo, Puerto Rican, and Dominican adolescents in the relation between cigarette and alcohol use and psychosocial functioning. Comparisons between the Puerto Rican and Dominican subjects were of special interest due to preexisting differences between these groups that may be attributed to acculturation. Results provided evidence of the importance of acculturation in modifying psychosocial vulnerability, especially for alcohol use, with the Dominican group at highest risk.
