“…In general, relatively few data exist on the stability of psychological well-being during adolescence (Fauber, Forehand, Long, Burke, & Faust, 1987). Beyond the effect of stability over time, younger students were more likely to report high levels of distress.…”

In this 3-year prospective study, we explored antecedents of school-based adjustment among 134 inner-city high-school students. We examined the role of freshman-year risk and protective factors in relation to dropout status and senior-year adjustment indices among those who remained in school, including academic performance, psychological symptoms, and drug use. Although each single attribute included in this study has been linked to poor academic performance in previous investigations, the primary goal in this study was to determine which attributes were strongly related to academic problems when considered together. In addition, we sought to establish whether risk factors associated with dropout were the same as those that predicted academic problems among students who remained in school. Findings indicated that freshman-year attendance and demographic indices were most strongly predictive of dropout. Among adolescents who remained in school, freshman academic success was robustly linked to senior-year competence. Implications for identifying inner-city high-school students at high risk for academic problems are discussed. KeywordsRisk; Adolescence; Dropout; Ethnicity; Low SES; Academic adjustment Current trends among economically disadvantaged high-school students reflect academic improvements in some areas. For example, the dropout rate among African Americans is declining to the levels of non-Hispanic whites (McMillen & Kaufman, 1997). However, there are also areas of growing concern, such as persistently high dropout rates among specific subgroups, poor academic achievement, and drug use in many inner-city schools.Strong links between low socioeconomic status (SES) and low academic performance and dropout (McLoyd, 1998) help to explain the clustering of negative academic outcomes among low-income inner-city adolescents. But beyond associations involving SES and ethnicity with variations in academic adjustment (McDermott, 1995) NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript degree of variability in outcomes among groups of low-income minority students. What differentiates between low-SES students who succeed academically from those who do not?Whereas academic success is a complex and multidetermined construct (Walberg & Tsai, 1985), this article focuses on the role of personal attributes in predicting academic success among low-income teens. Individual characteristics have been established as strong predictors of dropout, more so than, for example, neighborhood variables (Ensminger, Lamkin, & Jacobson, 1996). Although we will concentrate on this one domain of risk-we will not include other salient influences such as school quality, peer and family relationships, and neighborhood/community effects-this investigation will add to the literature by exploring risk within a group of low-income inner-city high-school students. We followed these teens from their freshman to senior year, a time frame that we selected primarily because high-school administrators expressed concern a...

“…Most, but not all, studies of U.S. samples indicate that academic difficulty is associated with depressed affect (Fauber, Forehand, Long, Burke, & Faust, 1987). In a study of young elementary school children from mainland China, X. also established associations between academic difficulty and depressed mood.…”

This study examined the correlates of symptoms of depressed mood among adolescents in 2 dramatically different cultures (n = 502 in Tianjin, People's Republic of China; n = 201 in greater Los Angeles).Gender, stressful life events, perceived parental warmth, and conflict with parents were associated in the expected direction with depressive symptoms in each cultural setting. As predicted, regression analyses showed that the quality of family relationships and grades in school had significantly stronger associations with depressive symptoms among Chinese youths than among U.S. youths, whereas gender differences in depressive symptom:-; were greater among the U.S. youths. Peer warmth moderated the effects of particular risk factors for depressive symptoms in each cultural setting.

“…Toujours chez les enfants et les adolescents, une fréquence plus élevée de symptômes dépressifs serait reliée à de faibles compétences scolaires (Fauber, Forehand, Long, Burke & Faust, 1987;Kovacs & Goldston, 1991;Puig-Antich, Lukens, Davies, Goetz, Brennan-Quattrock & Todak, 1985 De plus, les garçons ont tendance à expliquer leur échec scolaire par un manque d'effort, tandis que les filles attribuent leur échec à un manque d'habileté. Pour Cole (1990), le fait qu'à la préadolescence les filles sous-estiment leurs compétences et qu'en plus elles attribuent leurs échecs à un manque d'habileté contribue à expliquer les différences de genre de la dépression qui émergent à l'adolescence.…”
