“…Indeed, one's self-concept in a specific domain, such as academics, is often directly predictive of one's performance in that domain (Guay et al 2004). General self-concept-which focuses on one's overall description of one's skills and competence-has been found to relate inversely to internalizing symptoms (Robles-Piña et al 2008).…”

The longitudinal effects among self and identity processes, and between these processes and internalizing symptoms, are not well understood. As a result, the present study was designed to ascertain the over-time effects among identity commitment, reconsideration of commitments, and self-concept clarity, as well as to map the interplay of these self and identity processes with anxiety and depressive symptoms in early adolescence. A sample of 923 Dutch adolescents (mean age 12.4 years at Time 1; 49.3% female) participated at each of five annual assessments. Multivariate growth curve and cross-lagged panel models indicated that the association between self-concept clarity and commitment was bidirectional, that reconsideration occurs based on problems or dissatisfaction with self-concept clarity and with identity commitments, and that self-concept clarity (but not commitment or reconsideration) temporally precedes depressive and anxiety symptoms. Results are discussed in terms of the structure of the self-system and its associations with internalizing symptoms.

“…[12] Ergenlik döneminde ortaya çıkan ruh sağlığı sorunları arasında en çok görülenlerden biri depresyondur. [13][14][15][16][17] Son 20 yılı kapsayan araştırmalar affektif bozuklukların, sıklıkla yaşamın erken dönemlerinde başladığını göstermektedir. [18,19] Bu oran çocukluk döneminde %3 dolaylarındayken; ergenlik döneminde %30'lara kadar ulaşabilmektedir.…”

Çalışma, ilköğretim öğrencileri arasında depresif belirti sıklığı ve ilişkili olduğu etmenlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel araştırma, Kars merkezde bulunmakta olan bir ilköğretim okulunda, 435 ilköğretim öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmaya 8-13 yaş aralığında öğrenciler dahil edilmiştir. Veriler; genel bilgiler formu ve Çocuklar İçin Depresyon Envanteri ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin karşılaştırılmasında ki-kare testi ile fisher'in kesin testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalamaları 9.96±0.89 (8-13), depresyon ölçeği puan ortalaması 9.68±4.84 (0-54) olup, %6.9'unun (n=30) depresyon ölçeği puanının 19 ve üstü olduğu bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerde sağlık sorunu olanların, başarı durumu kötü olanların, anne ve baba ile günlük baş başa zaman geçirmeyenlerin depresyon puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu (p<0.05), cinsiyetin, doğum yerinin, sınıfta nerede oturduğunun, derslerinde yardımcı olan birinin var olup olmamasının, ders dışı sosyal aktivitelere ilgi isteğinin depresyon puanını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir (p>0.05). Sonuç: Anne ve baba ile zaman geçirme ve okul başarı durumunun depresif belirti görülme durumu üzerinde etkili olduğu düşünülünce, ailelerinin, çocuklara destek ve olumlu yaklaşımlarda bulunmaları konusunda bilgilendirilmesi son derece önemlidir. Öğretmenler de aile dışında çocuk ile en fazla zaman geçiren kişiler olmaları itibariyle bu sorunun en erken dönemde tespit edilmesi bakımından çocukluk depresyonu konusunda bilgi sahibi olmalıdırlar. Bunun dışında okul sağlığı hizmetlerinin bir parçası olarak sağlık personelinin farkındalığını artırarak okul sağlığı taramaları içinde depresif belirtileri saptamaya yönelik çalışmalara da yer verilmesi erken tanılama açısından önemli olacaktır.

“…Similarly, students who have skipped a grade may be younger than their peers. Past research has linked grade retention to higher levels of depression [40]. Additionally, Thompson et al [41] found that the relative age effect was linked to students' emotional adjustment such that students who were young for their grade reported higher negative self-evaluation than those whose age was appropriate for their grade level.…”

There has been limited research on depressive symptoms among high school students in St. Kitts and Nevis. This project examines levels of depressive symptoms among fourth form (grade 10) students attending all high schools in St. Kitts and Nevis. Students enrolled in the fourth form during the 2006/2007 academic year in all high schools were administered the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II). A near census of the students was conducted (n = 744 students; 50.4% females, 47.6% males, and 2% no gender reported; age 13–19 years, mean = 15.5 ± 0.8 years). Six in every ten students (62.1%) reported some symptoms of depression, with 14.8% reporting moderate to severe and 9.7% reporting severe symptoms of depression. Females reported significantly higher BDI-II scores (t(727) = 7.11, p < 0.01) with 70% of females reporting some level of depressive symptoms compared with 52% of their male counterparts (X2(1) = 24.6, p < 0.05). Additionally, 34% of females were in the moderate to severe or severe range of depressive symptoms, while 15% of males were in the same range. Students who were older than expected for their grade (i.e., 17 years or older) reported significantly higher BDI-II scores (F(2,740) = 2.88, p < 0.05) than students who were younger or at the expected age (i.e., 14–16 years). Students whose mothers had a high school or postsecondary education reported significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms than students whose mothers had less than a high school education (F(3, 637), = 4.23, p < 0.05). Symptoms of depression among fourth form students in St. Kitts and Nevis are a prevalent problem that is influenced by students’ age, gender, and social class as indicated by maternal education.
