“…For example, 52% of the 6-to 9-year-olds and 63% of the 10-to 12-year-olds in Gray et al's (1997) study were victims of several forms of abuse, with the most frequent combination being sexual abuse and physical abuse. This is consistent with the accumulation of risk model (Rutter, 1989), which holds that almost all children are capable of coping with low levels of risk until the accumulation exceeds a developmentally determined threshold, or the risks outweigh the buffer provided by compensatory factors (Sameroff et al, 1993). Along these lines, some research indicates that children entering foster care at later ages are significantly more likely to exhibit SBP than their younger counterparts (Tarren-Sweeney, 2008).…”

Children exhibiting sexual behavior have increasingly gained the attention of child welfare and mental health systems, as well as the scientific community. While a heterogeneous group, children with sexual behavior problems consistently demonstrate a number of problems related to adjustment and overall development. In order to appropriately intervene with these children, a comprehensive understanding of etiology is imperative. The overarching goal of the present paper is to review the extant research on mechanisms associated with the development of problematic sexual behavior in childhood within a developmental psychopathology framework. What is known about normative and nonnormative sexual behavior in childhood is reviewed, highlighting definitional challenges and age-related developmental differences. Further, the relationship between child sexual abuse and child sexual behavior problems is discussed, drawing attention to factors impacting this relationship. Risk factors for child sexual behavior problems, beyond that of sexual abuse, are also reviewed utilizing a transactional-ecological framework. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of implications of a developmental psychopathology perspective on problematic child sexual behaviors to inform future research and intervention efforts. Such implications include the need for attention to normative childhood sexual behavior, developmental sensitivity, and examinations of ecological domain in concert.

“…For example, in one longitudinal study examining the relation between parenting behaviors and adolescent conduct problems and depressive symptoms, parental behavioral control did not differentiate the group of adolescents exhibiting externalizing symptoms from the group exhibiting internalizing symptoms (Ge et al, 1997). In fact, Rutter (1989) has suggested that conduct problems and depression may share some common determinants, including disorganized or lax parenting. Extending this line of reasoning, firm control may not have relations specific to one type of problem behavior but rather may have a more generalized relation with child maladjustment.…”

Building upon the link between inadequate parenting and child noncompliance, aggression, and oppositionality, behavioral parent training has been identified as a well-established treatment for externalizing problems in children. Much less empirical attention has been devoted to examining whether inadequate parenting and, in turn, behavioral parent training programs, have specific effects on child externalizing problems or more diffuse effects on both internalizing and externalizing problems. As an initial attempt to examine the specificity of parenting and childhood externalizing problems, this review examines prior research on the association of three parenting behaviors (parental warmth, hostility, and control) with child externalizing versus internalizing problems. Notably, findings revealed relatively little evidence for the specificity of parenting and child externalizing behaviors in the general parenting literature or in the family context of parent depression. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

“…We hypothesise that Igbo adolescent males and young adults who are males will report significantly higher resilience than the females (H 2 ). Some researchers have reported significant interaction effect of age and gender in resilience (Gamble and Zigler, 1986;Sun and Stewart, 2007;Rutter, 1989). We shall also examine the interaction effect of the demographic variables on resilience in this study.…”

While involved in organising an empowerment seminar for the Igbo rural youths, the authors investigated resilience among rural adolescents and young adults. Three hundred and twenty nine (329) adolescents (n = 162) and young adults (n = 167), comprising 159 males and 170 females, were participants. They completed the 14-item Resilience scale and provided some relevant demographic information. Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for differences in resilience on account of age, gender and level of education. Young adults had significantly higher resilience scores than adolescents. No significant difference was found in resilience scores of males and females. Participants with higher education had significantly higher resilience scores than those with lower education. Of all the interaction effects tested, only age * gender * education had a significant interaction effect on resilience. Discussion of the findings were based on the literature, realities of life in contemporary Igbo society and the authors' observations.
