Compared test variables that differentiated stress‐affected and stress‐resilient outcomes within separate subsamples of highly stressed 4th–6th grade urban African‐American and White children. Similar variables differentiated resilient and stress affected children in the two racial groups. Key common differentiators associated with resilient outcomes under chronically stressful life conditions included: perceived competence; positive self‐views; empathy; and realistic control attributions. There was also substantial overlap in the sets of six test variables in the discriminant functions that best predicted (85% accuracy) resilient outcomes among these highly stressed African‐American and White children. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) 44 is a 21-item self-report measure assessing depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks, with greater scores indicating higher pathology. The CDI is a reliable and valid measurement of depressive symptoms in youth, 45 including acceptable internal consistency and testretest reliability in both clinical 46 and community samples. 47 Serum hsCRP.…”

Pediatric Loss of Control Eating and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Concentrations

Background: Loss of control (LOC) eating in youth is associated with excess body weight and adiposity. After adjusting for fat mass, youth with LOC eating have higher blood pressure and higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to youth without LOC eating. Increased inflammation may account for this relationship, although few data have examined this hypothesis. Therefore, this study explored the association between LOC eating and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation.Methods: We investigated hsCRP concentrations in relation to LOC eating in a convenience sample of 194 youth (age 14.3 -2.1 years; 63.9% female; BMI-z 1.64 -1.06). The presence of LOC eating in the past month was assessed by the Eating Disorder Examination interview. Serum hsCRP was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Adiposity was measured by air displacement plethysmography or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. We compared hsCRP in those with and without LOC eating in analyses accounting for sex, adiposity, height, depressive symptoms, and eating psychopathology.Results: Youth with LOC eating had significantly greater hsCRP than youth without LOC eating ( p = 0.02), after accounting for all covariates. The number of LOC eating episodes in the past month was positively associated with hsCRP ( p = 0.01). The relationship between LOC eating and hsCRP was not mediated by depressive symptoms or eating psychopathology ( ps > 0.05).Conclusions: Youth with disinhibited eating may manifest increased chronic inflammation. Those with LOC eating may be an important subgroup at risk for adverse health outcomes associated with both chronic inflammation and obesity. Future research should examine whether hsCRP concentrations mediate the relationship between LOC eating and its association with cardiometabolic risk.

“…Reynolds and Graves (1989) reported a four-week test-retest reliability for the RCDS of 0.85. Convergent validity has been reported for the RCDS when correlated with other measures of depression, self-esteem, and anxiety (Reynolds et al, 1985). The RCDS total raw score was used for analyses with PIML scores.…”

No self-report measure of attachment is well validated for middle-childhood. This study examined the validity and factor structure of the People in My Life (PIML) measure in 320 urban, fifth and sixth graders. Validity analyses consisted of correlational analyses between PIML subscales and the Child Behavior Checklist, Delinquency Rating Scale for Self and Others, Heath Resources Inventory, and Reynolds Child Depression Scale. Validity correlations were consistent with a-priori hypotheses. Confirmatory factor analyses consisted of comparison of model fit indices between seven models. Two models fit the data well and both models were consistent with the traditionally used PIML scoring protocol. Moreover, both models were consistent with the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), on which the PIML is modeled, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of attachment in childhood. The PIML and IPPA provide instruments for obtaining a continuous selfreport measure of attachment from middle-childhood through adulthood. KeywordsPeople in my life; Attachment; Late childhood; Factor analysis; Validity Attachment, defined as the type of enduring emotional bond that an individual has toward significant others such as family, friends, and close associates, has long been considered an important factor in social and psychological healthiness (Ainsworth et al., 1978; Bowlby, 1969 Bowlby, /1982Bowlby, /1973Hinde, 1982;Sroufe, 1978). Secure attachment with parents and/or peers in NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript adolescents is associated with life satisfaction, school achievement, self-esteem, and psychological adjustment (Armsden and Greenberg, 1987;Buhrmester, 1990;Bukowski et al., 1993;Hartup, 1996;Nickerson and Nagle, 2004). Children who form insecure attachments are at greater risk for experiencing psychopathology when they are older, even into adulthood (Allen and Land, 1999;Dozier et al., 1999). Hence, children's quality of attachment to others is associated with emotional and behavioral well-being in critical ways. Parental attachmentAttachment theory and research describe types of emotional bonds between parents and children, individuals and their friends and significant others. Some of the central goals of attachment theory and research are to specify the ideal types of attachments, how attachment to others might evolve developmentally as people mature, and the consequences of optimal and non-optimal attachments (Ainsworth, 1991; Bowlby, 1969 Bowlby, /1982Bowlby, /1973 Elicker et al., 1992). A child's attachment to a parent appears to serve as a model for other close relationships (Ainsworth, 1989;Bowlby, 1973;Hazan and Shaver, 1994). Secure attachment to a parent often is a prelude to successful interpersonal skills and intimate relationships (Black and McCartney, 1997;Madden-Derdich et al., 2002) and attachment to a parent remains even after attachments to peers are established (Hazan and Shaver, 1994;Hazan and Zeifman, 1994).However, the association betw...
