“…High scores indicate high self-esteem. Harter [30,31] reported good reliability and validity of the Global Self-Worth Scale of the SPPC and SPPA. The Dutch translation of the SPPC was also found to be reliable and internally valid [32].…”

Objective: To assess factors that, in addition to childhood psychopathology, are associated with Quality of Life (QoL) in children with psychiatric problems. Methods: In a referred sample of 252 8 to 18-year-olds, information concerning QoL, psychopathology and a broad range of child, parent, and family/ social network factors was obtained from children, parents, teachers and clinicians. Results: Poor child, parent, and clinician reported QoL was associated with child psychopathology, but given the presence of psychopathology, also with child factors, such as low self-esteem, and poor social skills, and family/social network factors, such as poor family functioning, and poor social support. In multiple linear regression analyses the importance of parent factors, such as parenting stress, was almost negligible. Conclusion: To increase QoL of children with psychiatric problems, treatment of symptoms is important, but outcome might improve if treatment is also focussed on other factors that may affect QoL. Results are discussed in relation to current treatment programs.

“…Children completed the Global SelfWorth Scale of either the Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC; ages 8-12 [30]) or the SelfPerception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA; ages 13-18 [31]), consisting of six or five 4-point items, respectively. High scores indicate high self-esteem.…”

“…Appearance concern was assessed by the physical appearance domain of the multidimensional Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) [16]. Six items (Likert scale 1-4) were used to assess the youths' perceived competence in physical appearance with questions such as whether my appearance make me feel upset and whether my hair looks beautiful.…”

To examine the relationship between physical appearance concern and psychological distress in female adolescent patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was the aim of this study. A total of 84 adolescent SLE female patients and 80 age-matching healthy adolescents were evaluated for levels of appearance concern and a range of illness-specific measures to determine how these demographic and clinical variables were related to the dependent variable psychological distress. The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index was used to assess disease activity. Assessment of depression was conducted through the children depression inventory (CDI). Appearance concern was measured using the SelfPerception Profile for Children. The total CDI was 18.5± 4.3, indicating that these patients had more depressive symptoms, comparing with age-and sex-matched healthy controls. Furthermore, a total of 32 (38.1 %) patients had CDI larger than 19 points, indicating that they have relatively higher risk in developing depression. The CDI in control group was significantly lower than that in the SLE group (11.4±1.7 vs. 18.5±4.3, t09.93, p<0.05). Using correlation and multiple regression analyses, we found that both appearance concern and age were predictive of depression in patients with SLE, and the former was highly correlated. This indicates that appearance concern may be associated with depression in female adolescent SLE patients. The results suggest that appearance concern is strongly associated with depression in female adolescent patients with SLE and should be routinely assessed.

“…Self-concept and self-esteem represent broad constructs and encompass a range of components including cognitive processes, personality style, affective processes, and motivational domains. Harter's (1985) scale of self-perceived competence is one of the most frequently employed measures of selfesteem among youth. Germane to research on vulnerability for depression are scales assessing perceptions of personal competence, rather than omnibus measures of self-worth.…”

“…Harter's (1985) measure, although systematically constructed from a strong conceptual base, may contribute to divergent findings. Some subscales demonstrate minimally acceptable reliability (Harter, 1985), warranting psychometric refinement. Harter's (1985) multifaceted scale may also lead to confusion among younger children.…”

We summarize and integrate research on cognitive vulnerability to depression among children and adolescents. We first review prospective longitudinal studies of the most researched cognitive vulnerability factors (attributional style, dysfunctional attitudes, and self-perception) and depression among youth. We next review research on information processing biases in youth. We propose that the integration of these two literatures will result in a more adequate test of cognitive vulnerability models. Last, we outline a program of research addressing methodological, statistical, and scientific limitations in the cognitive vulnerability literature.
