“…Traditional tests of the depletion model have examined how stress leads to lower levels of self-regulation in the short term (hours or days) and used behavioral measures of regulation, such as timing how long it takes to give up on an unsolvable task (Baumeister et al, 2007). However, some evidence suggests that this effect may generalize to longer periods of time and to self-report measures of self-regulation (i.e., 1 year; Agnew et al, 2011). According to this model of self-regulatory capacity, if adolescents are forced to deploy coping resources in response to stress, their self-regulatory resources will be depleted, resulting in reduced overall levels of impulse control or future orientation.…”

Impulse control and future orientation increase across adolescence, but little is known about how contextual factors shape the development of these capacities. The present study investigates how stress exposure, operationalized as exposure to violence, alters the developmental pattern of impulse control and future orientation across adolescence and early adulthood. In a sample of 1,354 serious juvenile offenders, higher exposure to violence was associated with lower levels of future orientation at age 15 and suppressed development of future orientation from ages 15 to 25. Increases in witnessing violence or victimization were linked to declines in impulse control 1 year later, but only during adolescence. Thus, beyond previous experiences of exposure to violence, witnessing violence and victimization during adolescence conveys unique risk for suppressed development of self-regulation.

“…Fifth, self-control was analyzed as a time-stable factor in the current analysis. Some research, however, indicates that self-control is more dynamic (Burt et al, 2014; Pratt, 2016; Winfree et al, 2006) and that it has a reciprocal relationship with victimization (Agnew et al, 2011). Future research should continue to examine the causes and consequences of self-control as a time-varying factor in relation to adolescent victimization.…”

After decades of treatment as a fairly distinct topic, recent research on victimization has begun to draw on theoretical approaches previously directed at understanding criminal behavior. The current study expands this research by studying victimization and its relationship to key developmental influences with data from 3,976 adolescents. We first detail the longitudinal process that underlies continuity and change in victimization and then consider the impact of time-stable and time-varying covariates that reflect mechanisms within those explanations. Findings suggest that time-varying markers of risky lifestyle and attachment affect victimization, but also that victimization affects risky behaviors and prosocial ties.

“…Except studies using longitudinal data [27,42,43] or recently in the context of a randomized experiment [44], most research empirically testing GST makes use of cross-sectional survey data, leaving the problem of endogeneity unsolved. In this study, the exogeneity of evacuee status of students during the storm makes the identification least affected by the endogeneity issue.…”

Objective: The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of Hurricane Katrina on displaced students’ behavioral disorder. Methods: First, we determine displaced students’ likelihood of discipline infraction each year relative to non-evacuees using all K12 student records of the U.S. state of Louisiana during the period of 2000–2008. Second, we investigate the impact of hurricane on evacuee students’ in-school behavior in a difference-in-difference framework. The quasi-experimental nature of the hurricane makes this framework appropriate with the advantage that the problem of endogeneity is of least concern and the causal effect of interest can be reasonably identified. Results: Preliminary analysis demonstrates a sharp increase in displaced students’ relative likelihood of discipline infraction around 2005 when the hurricane occurred. Further, formal difference-in-difference analysis confirms the results. To be specific, post Katrina, displaced students’ relative likelihood of any discipline infraction has increased by 7.3% whereas the increase in the relative likelihood for status offense, offense against person, offense against property and serious crime is 4%, 1.5%, 3.8% and 2.1%, respectively. Conclusion: When disasters occur, as was the case with Hurricane Katrina, in addition to assistance for adult evacuees, governments, in cooperation with schools, should also provide aid and assistance to displaced children to support their mental health and in-school behavior.
