“…Time of diabetes onset was di- vided into five age groups as follows: infant and toddler (0-2), preschool (3)(4)(5), early school (6-7), latency (8)(9), and early adolescence (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). As indicated in Table 7, body image was the only factor affected by time of onset of diabetes (p < 0.05).…”

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Sullivan Diabetic Adjustment Scale were administered to 105 adolescent girls with diabetes. Results indicate that levels of self-esteem and depression highly correlate with the level of adjustment as assessed on the Diabetic Adjustment Scale (DAS). That is, the adjustment of adolescent diabetic girls in peer and family relationships, dependence-independence conflicts, and attitudes toward diabetes is significantly related to self-esteem; and the level of depression is significantly related to all these adjustment factors as well as body image. The results point to the usefulness of the DAS as a potential screening device for low self-esteem and depression in adolescent girls who have diabetes. The importance of diabetes as a scapegoat for normal adolescent concerns is discussed. It was also hypothesized that depression in adolescents may be expressed through concerns about diabetes. The importance of exploring relationships with peers and fathers is emphasized.

“…Rutter (1970) has argued conclusively that predictions of future intellect and temperament cannot be made on the basis of infant examinations within the first 6 months of life. Even if we knew how to match child and parents optimally for nonintellectual qualities of personality, we could not do so.…”

“…A further issue in the study of developmental continuities and discontinuities is that of ensuring that variables mean the same thing across the age span being investigated (Rutter, 1970;Sroufe, 1979). This is an obvious problem with psychometric comparisons because the content of tests necessarily varies with age.…”

Age as an Ambiguous Variable in Developmental Research: Some Epidemiological Considerations from Developmental Psychopathology

Intra-individual change in behaviour with age constitutes the essential element in developmental research but, unless age is broken down into its component parts, age is devoid of meaning. The issues involved are discussed from the perspective of epidemiology as applied to developmental psychopathology. Methodological concerns are discussed with respect to continuities and discontinuities in development (with special reference to the cumulative emergence of skills and variable consistency over the life span), secular trends, and the distinction between individual and groupaggregated age trends. The different components of chronological age are considered in terms of cognitive level, different types of biological maturity, and the duration of type of life experiences. The same components are discussed with respect to the issues involved in the study of differential effects of experiences according to their timing in the developmental sequence, and maturational delay.Requests for reprints should be sent to Michael Rutter at the MRC Child Psychiatry
