“…Whereas some research (e.g., Baron and Joly 1988;Mitchell et al 1988) has found no gender differences in the presence of adolescent depressive symptoms, most studies suggest that girls are more depressed than boys (Garber et al 2002;Hankin et al 1998;Wichstrom 1999). These gender differences are similar to those reported in adults (Kessler and Magee 1994;Mirowsky 1996). Longitudinal research shows that the discrepancy in depressive symptoms between girls and boys emerges when adolescents reach age 13 or 14 years (Ge et al 2006;Hankin et al 1998).…”

The association of adolescents' perceptions of family relationships and adolescent depressive symptoms was investigated using a sample of 2,918 youth participating in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Boys showed fewer depressive symptoms than girls, as hypothesized. In general, adolescents' perceptions of family relationships were negatively related to depressive symptoms. Mother support of father predicted depressive symptoms for girls only, whereas father support of mother predicted depressive symptoms for boys only. These findings contradict previous research that suggested family functioning is more related to outcomes of adolescent girls than boys. Suggestions for future research and implications for marital and family therapists are discussed.

“…Elder, Shanahan, and Clipp (1997), for example, found a positive effect of combat exposure on physical dysfunction among American veterans who reported low self-worth, but not among those who reported high self-worth. Similarly, the effects of lifetime adversity on mental health were exacerbated among those with a previous history of depression (Kessler & Magee, 1994; Maciejewski, Prigerson, & Mazure, 2000). However, in the cognitive domain, Brown (2010) found a greater effect on baseline cognition when childhood events were combined with a history of psychiatric problems, although she did not find this interaction to relate to a steeper age-related decline.…”

Objectives This longitudinal investigation addressed whether and how lifetime cumulative adversity and depressive symptoms moderated age-related decline in markers of physical, mental and cognitive health. Method 1,248 older adults (mean age = 62 at Wave 1) who completed the first two waves of the Israeli component of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE-Israel) reported on exposure to potentially traumatic life events, depressive symptoms, and three outcomes – disability, quality of life and cognitive markers. Results Age was related to greater functional decline in outcome measures across the two waves (i.e., increase in disability and decrease in quality of life and cognitive functioning). This age-related decline became stronger as lifetime adversity increased. A three-way interaction showed that the greatest age-related functional decline in outcome measures was especially salient among those with high level of lifetime adversity and high level of depressive symptoms. Conclusion Lifetime cumulative adversity is associated with a more noticeable process of age-related dysfunction across various markers of health. Although the majority of older adults are resilient to lifetime adversity, prevention and intervention programs should be aimed at mitigating the pronounced senescence observed when adversity accumulated to a large degree, and especially when it is accompanied with high level of distress.

“…Consequently, we examined the independent effects of these life events on the relationships between leisure-related variables and psychological wellbeing. These disaggregated analyses are assumed to provide more detailed information about the relationships between leisure and well-being than the conventional aggregated or stress-buffer approach in which life events are aggregated to create broader categories or are dichotomized into stressful or nonstressful conditions (Kessler & Magee, 1994;Mattlin, Wethington, & Kessler, 1990).…”
