“…Stressful life events-such as school problems and peer conflict-can cause anger, depression, and anxiety (Aseltine, Gore, and Gordon, 2000). In addition, isolation and lack of peer support may lead to depression and remove social buffers against adverse psychological consequences of stressful events (Elgar and Arlett, 2002;Windle, 1992). School and peer dynamics, in turn, may influence the likelihood of police encounters.…”

Juveniles in secure confinement allegedly suffer from more mental health problems than their peers. This may reflect background and behavioral characteristics commonly found in clients of both mental health and juvenile justice systems. Another explanation is that mental disorders increase the risk of arrest. These interpretations were tested on a sample of Pittsburgh boys (n = 736). Findings indicate that arrested youth exhibit more attention deficit hyperactivity (ADH) problems, oppositional defiant (OD) problems, and nondelinquent externalizing symptoms prior to their first arrests compared to their never‐arrested peers. However, arrested and nonarrested youth score similarly on prior affective and anxiety problems and internalizing symptoms. Net of delinquency, substance use, and other selection factors, internalizing problems lower the risk of subsequent arrest, whereas OD problems and nondelinquent externalizing symptoms increase it. ADH problems have no effect on arrest net of delinquency and substance use. These findings lend only partial support to the criminalization hypothesis. Whereas some mental health symptoms increase the risk of arrest, others elicit more cautious or compassionate official responses.

“…Internal consistency in the present study was a=0.89. The CAPS has been found to correlate positively with peer-reported popularity and negatively with selfreported conflict and depressive symptoms (Cavell & Kelly, 1994;Elgar & Arlett, 2002). Kohn & Milrose, 1993) The IHSSRLE is a 41-item measure of daily hassles in adolescents and was designed to be less contaminated by subjective distress than other hassles scales.…”

“…Researchers have also found that stress related to interpersonal conflict also increases the risk of behavioural problems in adolescents (Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, 1989;Coyne & Downey, 1991). Studies have found that most adolescents tend to encounter several conflict situations every day (Laursen & Collins, 1994) and that more adolescent conflict is closely associated with negative affect (Elgar & Arlett, 2002). Thus, conflict, daily hassles and life events are three salient sources of adolescent stress.…”

Rural/urban differences were studied in self‐reported stress (life events, daily hassles and conflict), coping and behavioural problems in a community sample of adolescents. Despite challenging socioeconomic conditions in rural areas, levels of stress and ways of coping were similar in rural and urban adolescents. However, urban males reported more conflict and externalizing behaviours than females and rural males. Stress, coping, and behavioural problems were interrelated but approach coping did not moderate the influence of stress on psychological functioning. Results suggest that adolescents may utilize many coping strategies that serve little benefit in terms of behavioural outcomes.

“…To address these issues, cross-lagged correlations and regressions were utilized in this study to examine temporal relations between maternal depressive symptoms and three domains of child functioning: hyperactivity, aggression, and emotional problems. Therefore, this study utilized partial cross-lagged correlations to control for within-time association (e.g., Elgar & Arlett, 2002) and Kenny's (1975) test for consistency in both test-retest correlations (quasi-stationarity) and crosssectional correlations (synchronicity). The objectives of the study were to (a) determine whether the influence of maternal depressive symptoms on child adjustment problems is less than or greater than the influence of child adjustment problems on maternal mood and (b) examine the magnitude of these mutual influences over a 4-year period, independent of prior symptoms and shared risk factors.…”

Examined the mutual influence on maternal depressive symptoms and child adjustment problems and their antecedent-consequence conditions across 3 cycles of panel data collected over a 4-year period in the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). Results indicated stability in, and relations between, maternal and child outcomes. Cross-lagged panel correlations showed that maternal depressive symptoms tended to precede child aggression and hyperactivity but tended to follow child emotional problems. Temporal relations were interpreted in the context of mechanisms that transmit risk between mothers and children. Logistic regression analysis showed bidirectional risk between maternal mood and child adjustment after earlier symptoms were statistically controlled. These findings indicate that maternal depression increases the risk of adjustment problems in children, and vice versa, underscoring the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology.
