“…At ages 7 and 11, parents rated children's and adolescents' behavioral and emotional diffi culties using short forms of Rutter et al's (1970) Health and Behavior Checklists (Buchanan et al, 2002;Chase-Lansdale et al, 1995). The measure of externalizing behavior was based on the average scores of six items: whether the parent believes the child has diffi culty in settling to anything for more than a few minutes, destroys own or others' belongings, is squirmy or fi dgety, is irritable and "quick to fl y off the handle," fi ghts with other children, and is disobedient at home (responses to each item included "never," "sometimes," and "frequently").…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Using data from the National Child Development Study, an ongoing longitudinal birth cohort study of British youth born in 1958 (N = 9,107), we investigated the long-term impact of heavy alcohol use at age 16 years on educational qualifi cations in adulthood. Method: We used a propensity score matching approach to examine whether and for whom heavy alcohol use predicted reduced adult educational attainment. Because of gender differences in both heavy drinking and adult socioeconomic attainment, we examined the effects of heavy drinking on educational outcomes separately for females and males. Results: Heavy drinking in adolescence (measured in 1974) had a direct negative effect on the receipt of postsecondary educational credentials by age 42 years among males but not females, independent of child and adolescent risk factors correlated with both heavy drinking and educational attainment. In particular, males from working-class backgrounds were most affected by heavy drinking. Conclusions: Drawing on a life span developmental contextual approach, we fi nd that heavy teenage alcohol use and disadvantaged social origins combined to diminish male educational attainment. In contrast, heavy alcohol use had little effect on female educational attainment. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs 69: [848][849][850][851][852][853][854][855][856][857][858] 2008)

“…The combination of conduct problems and internalizing problems seems to result in the highest risk of subsequent psychiatric disorders, criminal offenses, and self-reported problems at follow-up (Sourander et al 2007). Some investigators have even indicated no association exists between adult anxiety symptoms and internalizing problems in childhood, while people who externalized problems in childhood were nearly twice as likely as those without such problems to have high malaise scores in adulthood (Buchanan et al 2002).…”

This study prospectively investigated developmental psychopathology pathway from the age of 7 to ages 14-16. The subjects (N = 1,857) were evaluated using the Korean version of the Child Behavior Checklist and reassessed using the Korean Youth Self Report. In path analyses, total problems, externalizing problems, and internalizing problems in childhood associated significantly with problems in adolescence. In particular, childhood externalizing problems associated with adolescent externalizing problems, for both genders. However, our results differ from those of previous studies in that internalizing problems showed a restrictive stability by gender and in that early externalizing problems correlated negatively with later internalizing problems for girls. In the syndrome scales analyses, we confirmed that some syndromes showed heterotypic pathways, despite the general continuity of the developmental psychopathology. The importance of Anxiety/Depression and Attention problems in childhood suggested that adolescent difficulties are a consequence of an accumulation of such risk factors.

“…In the field of developmental psychology, for example, risk and protective factors mediating the path between childhood behavior problems and later negative outcomes is a primary interest (e.g., Buchanan, Flouri, & Brinke, 2002;Ladd & Burgess, 2001;White, Bates, & Buyske, 2001). Research aimed at better understanding causal pathways to childhood behavior problems and extending from childhood behavior problems to subsequent negative outcomes has investigated factors including child maltreatment, parental attachment, and school engagement.…”

We examined the school mobility of a cross-sectional sample of 70 secondary-age youth with emotional disturbance (ED). Data were collected through an archival review of school records. Students' school mobility histories were examined in terms of the overall number of schools attended in the elementary school years, as well as the timing of the moves that were made. Findings indicate that sample students experienced high rates of school mobility with 66% having changed schools at least once by the end of 2nd grade and 89% having changed schools at least once by the end of 5th grade. Strategies for minimizing school mobility and the impact of high rates of school mobility are reviewed.

Emotional and Behavioural Problems in Childhood and Distress in Adult Life: Risk and Protective Factors

Abstract: Protective factors in childhood were strongly associated with lower Malaise scores in adulthood. Research on factors associated with discontinuity of psychological problems may prove fruitful.
