“…The literature seems to suggest an increase in internalizing problems at the beginning of puberty, possibility related to hormonal changes (Rutter et al, 1976;Weissman et al, 1987). In this study internalizing behaviors were examined over a broader age range.…”

“…This unexpected finding might be explained by the broad range of potential causes for internalizing behavior in adolescence. Internalizing behavior and depressive symptoms tend to increase in adolescence (Rutter, Graham, Chadwick, & Yule, 1976;Weissman et al, 1987). Perhaps when internalizing behavior is more common, it is less uniquely related to peer-group experiences.…”

The purpose of the study was to examine stability, correlates, and time-covarying associations of peer victimization. The total sample size was 1,206 adolescents (M(age) at initial time point = 9.74 years, SD = .60; 59.5% White, 21.6% African American, 12.9% Hispanic American, 6% Other/Unknown) followed across 9 yearly waves of data collection from elementary school through middle and high school (Grades 4-12). In each year, peer victimization was assessed with peer nominations; externalizing behavior, peer sociability, and school competence were assessed with teacher ratings; and internalizing behavior was assessed with self-reports. High stability of peer victimization was found across the 9 years of the study. Victimization correlated positively with externalizing and internalizing behaviors and negatively with peer sociability and school competence in the elementary school years, whereas only the association with peer sociability remained significant throughout the middle and high school years. Growth curve modeling showed that victimization, as a time-varying predictor across Grades 4 to 12, significantly predicted the level of each outcome measure at the end of the trajectory, and the rate of change leading up to this end point. Gender differences were found for each of the main results. The results of the current study highlight the importance of developing a long-term dynamic view and understanding of the emergence of peer victimization and its related consequences across childhood and adolescence. Although peer victimization is strongly linked to a variety of adjustment problems in elementary school, these associations seem to become weaker in middle and high school.

“…Children of depressed parents are at increased risk for major depression, physical health problems, anxiety disorders, and alcohol dependence compared with children whose parents are not depressed (Downey and Coyne, 1990;Hammen et al, 1987;Kramer et al, 1998;Nomura et al, 2002;Orvaschel et al, 1988;Weissman et al, 1987Weissman et al, , 1997. Higher levels of maternal depressive symptoms have been shown to predict more aggressive and hostile behaviors in toddlers (Leadbeater et al, 1996;Lyons-Ruth, 1992).…”

This study tests the hypothesis that maternal depression (major depressive disorder; MDD) decreases rates of the intergenerational transmission of religiosity from mother to offspring and attenuates the beneficial qualities of religiosity in offspring. Depression was assessed using semistructured clinical interviews; religiosity was assessed based upon the personal importance of religion, frequency of attendance at religious services, and religious denomination. Results suggest that (1) maternal depression attenuates the intergenerational transmission of religion; (2) in the presence of maternal depression, offspring were more likely to have MDD at 10-year follow-up when mother-offspring were concordant on religious importance; and (3) in the absence of maternal depression, offspring were less likely to have MDD at 10-year follow-up when mother-offspring were concordant on attendance. Thus, in the presence of maternal depression, transmission of religious attendance is no longer associated with decreased likelihood of offspring MDD, whereas transmission of religious importance is associated with increased likelihood of offspring depression.

“…For example, much research targeting the influence of maternal depression on infant and child outcomes supports the notion that depressed mothers display disruptions in parenting behavior, and that their children exhibit a variety of impairments in social, psychological, and affective functioning (Dickstein et al, 1998;Lyons-Ruth et al, 1990;Seifer & Dickstein, 2000;Weissman et al, 1987). EHS families are at high risk for health and mental health problems given the burden of accumulated contextual risks.…”

We present the Early Head Start MAP (Manualized Assessment of Progress) system, a newly developed program evaluation protocol for Early Head Start (EHS). Briefly, EHS is a prevention program for low-income families with infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. The EHS MAP protocol was designed to be incorporated into the fabric of the EHS program, utilized by all EHS staff members with input from EHS families. As such, it serves to document ongoing progress of children and families while enrolled in the program, as well as the fidelity of services provided. Preliminary empirical results are presented to exemplify the nature of efficacy and fidelity data that can be obtained with this EHS MAP system. Implications of conducting program evaluation are discussed as related to Early Head Start service delivery.RESUMEN: En este estudio se presenta el sistema MAP (Evaluación manualizada del progreso) de "Early Head Start," un protocolo para la evaluación de programas recientemente desarrollado para "Early Head Start." En breve, EHS es un programa de prevención para familias de bajos recursos económicos con infantes, niños que empiezan a dar pinitos, y mujeres embarazadas. El protocolo MAP fue diseñado para ser incorporado dentro de la estructura del programa EHS, utilizado por todo el personal de EHS con sugerencias de las familias de EHS. Como tal, el protocolo sirve para documentar el constante progreso de los niños y familias que participan en el programa, así como también la fidelidad de los servicios que se prestan. Los preliminares resultados empíricos son presentados para ejemplificar la naturaleza de la eficaz y fiel información que se puede obtener con este sistema MAP. Las implicaciones de llevar a cabo una evaluación del programa se discuten tal como se relacionan con el servicio de prestaciones de "Early Head Start." des petits enfants, et pour les femmes enceintes. Le protocole EHS MAP a été conçu pour être incorporé dans le tissu du programme EHS, utilisé par tous les employés de EHS avec le concours des familles participant au programme. En tant que tel, il sert à documenter le progrès en cours des enfants et des familles pendant qu'elles sont inscrites au programme, ainsi que la fidélité des services qui sont offerts. Des résultats empiriques préliminaires sont présentés afin d'exemplifier la nature de l'efficacité et la fidélité des données qui peuvent être obtenues avec ce système EHS MAP. Les implications pour effectuer une évaluation de programme sont discutées comme étant liées au service qu'offre le EHS.
