“…It is also possible that the quality of relationships with peers, described above, may partly mediate the relationship between positive development and antisocial behavior. Participants who scored higher on positive development were less likely to have peers or an intimate partner whom they described as engaging in antisocial behavior, which means they may also be less likely to participate in these behaviors themselves (Brotherton et al 1979;Kline 2005). Full investigation of potential interactions among the components of positive development and the outcomes investigated here was beyond the scope of the present paper.…”

“…SES was measured as a composite of both parents' educational level and occupational level. Educational level was measured by an adapted version of Brotherton et al (1979) 8-point scale from ''primary'' to ''postgraduate'' level, while occupational level was measured by Broom et al (1976) 8-point scale, from ''housewife/student/unemployed'' to ''upper professional.

Associations Between Positive Development in Late Adolescence and Social, Health, and Behavioral Outcomes in Young Adulthood

Little is known about positive development across the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. The purpose of this paper was to use longitudinal data from a large community sample, the Australian Temperament Project, to investigate prospective associations between positive development at age 19-20 years and changes in social, health, and behavioral outcomes at 23-24 years. Data from 890 young adults (61.7% women) were analyzed using path analysis. Emotional health, physical well-being, friendship quality, reduced antisocial behavior, and positive development in young adulthood were predicted by higher levels of positive development in late adolescence, after controlling for baseline levels of respective outcomes, gender, and family socioeconomic status. Parent relationship quality and alcohol use were not significantly predicted. Based on these findings, interventions promoting positive development during adolescence should be investigated as a potential means of yielding positive social, health, and behavioral consequences well into young adulthood.

“…Parents’ occupations were ranked from 1 to 8 according to the Prestige Scale. Scores were also given to parents’ highest education level based on the Brotherton, Kotler and Hammond Scale 32 . Socioeconomic status (SES) for each family was calculated by adding the scores for father’s education, mother’s education, father’s occupation and mother’s occupation and then calculating the mean score.…”

This community based intervention resulted in positive effects, despite being of low intensity, in achieving significantly less hyperactive/distractable behaviour in children from the combined intervention group at 2 years postintervention. Anxiety problems were also reduced at the post-treatment phase. The prereading package did not demonstrate any effects on reading skills and was deemed to be insufficiently intensive to affect a population of disadvantaged preschoolers. This universal-type of intervention was well accepted by the community, but there is need for further effort to increase recruitment of families of at-risk children into such programmes.

“…The 21 subjects selected were matched into groups of three according to their BDI score, socioeconomic status, and age. Socioeconomic status was determined according to the method outlined for use with Australian subjects by Brotherton, Kotler, and Hammond (1979), although slight modification was necessary to accommodate the sample used in this study. Thus SES scores were derived from a composite of subject's educational level, husband's educational level and occupation and father's occupation.…”

Applicability of learned helplessness to depressed women undergoing assertion training

The attributional formulations of the learned helplessness model of depression were tested with regard to the model's applicability to women and its implications for assertion training as a therapy for depression. Eighteen depressed housewives underwent 6 weeks of assertion training, participated in an attention control co'ndition, or were part of a waiting list control condition. Both the assertion training and attention control groups showed a significant improvement in depression at post-test and at follow-ups scheduled 6 weeks after treatment and 6 months thereafter. There was a clear relationship between depression and attributional style: the greater the tendency toward attributing causes for negative outcomes to global, stable, and internal causes, the greater was the depression score. Although the assertion training and attention control groups did not show differences in severity of depression after treatment, the assertion training group became significantly more assertive as a result of treatment.Requests for reprints should be sent to N .
