“…Using a cutoff score of 17 on the combined intrusion and avoidance subscales of the RIES (Dyregrov & Yule, 1995) indicated that up to 58 % would be likely cases, although conclusions about diagnosis are most tentative in the absence of individual clinical assessments. Children's self-reported levels of anxiety were, unexpectedly, lower than American normative data (Reynolds & Richmond, 1978). Depressive feelings among the current sample of children were not markedly elevated compared to the best available normative data, and were, surprisingly, lower than the scores of children who survived a shipping accident.…”

“…Children's self-reported levels of depression (DSRS X l 9n40, SD l 5n03) were marginally elevated compared to British normative data (X l 8n53, SD l 4n43, ; t l 2n18, p n001), but lower than those of a group of school children who survived a shipping accident (X l 11n11, SD l 5n98, Yule et al 1990 ; t l 4n28, p n001). Children's self-reported anxiety levels (RCMAS X l 10n93, SD l 6n20) were not raised, being lower than American normative data (X l 13n84, SD l 5n79, Reynolds & Richmond, 1978).…”

The author examined relations among demographic risk (income, maternal education, singleparent status), growth in temperament (fear, irritability, effortful control), and parenting (rejection, inconsistent discipline) across 3 years and the prediction of children's adjustment problems in a community sample (N = 190; ages 8-12 years at Time 1). Family income was related to higher initial levels of fear, irritability, rejection, and inconsistency and lower effortful control but was not related to changes in these variables. Higher initial rejection predicted increases in child fear and irritability. Higher initial fear predicted decreases in rejection and inconsistency. Higher initial irritability predicted increases in inconsistency, and higher initial effortful control predicted decreases in rejection. When growth of parenting and temperament were considered simultaneously, increases in effortful control and decreases in fear and irritability predicted lower Time 3 internalizing and externalizing problems. Increases in rejection and inconsistent discipline predicted higher Time 3 externalizing, although sometimes the effect appeared to be indirect through temperament. The findings suggest that temperament and parenting predict changes in each other and predict adjustment during the transition to adolescence. Keywords demographic risk; temperament; parenting; adjustment problems; early adolescence Both parenting (Frick, 1994;Loeber & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1986; Maccoby & Martin, 1993) and temperament (Rothbart & Bates, 1998;Sanson, Hemphill, & Smart, 2004) are important predictors of children's adjustment, and their effects are additive, with each contributing unique variance above the other (e.g., Bates, Pettit, Dodge, & Ridge, 1998;Halpern, Garcia Coll, Meyer, & Bendersky, 2001;Rubin, Hastings, Chen, Stewart, & McNichol, 1998;Smith & Prior, 1995). Moreover, transactional models in which parenting and child characteristics are mutually influential have been suggested to explain the development of adjustment problems (e.g., Halpern et al., 2001;Maccoby, 1992;Reiss & Price, 1996;Rothbart & Bates, 1998;Sanson et al., 2004). However, few studies have examined the relations between temperament and parenting during the transition to adolescence using longitudinal, growth analyses. In fact, data on the development of temperament and NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript parenting during this transitional period are sparse (e.g., Conger, Lorenz, & Wickrama, 2004). This study examines changes in parenting and temperament as predictors of children's adjustment problems during middle childhood and early adolescence.Temperament is believed to play an important role in children's social and personality development and psychological adjustment Hartup & van Lieshout, 1995;Prior, 1992). It is thought to directly affect children's social, personality, and psychological development and influence or moderate key socialization experiences, such as parent-child relationships and stressful...

Background: Adolescence is a key time period for the emergence of psychosocial and mental healthdifficulties. To promote adolescent adaptive (‘resilient’) psychosocial functioning, appropriate conceptualizationand quantification of such functioning and its predictors is a crucial first step. Here,we quantify resilient functioning as the degree to which an individual functions better or worse thanexpected given their self-reported childhood family experiences, and relate this to adolescent familyand friendship support.Method: We used Principal Component and regression analyses to investigate the relationship betweenchildhood family experiences and psychosocial functioning (PSF: psychiatric symptomatology,personality traits and mental wellbeing) in healthy adolescents (the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network;N=2389; ages 14-24). Residuals from the relation between childhood family experiences andPSF reflect resilient functioning; the degree to which an individual is functioning better, or worse,than expected given their childhood family experiences. Next, we relate family and friendship supportwith resilient functioning both cross-sectionally and one year later.Results: Friendship and family support were positive predictors of immediate resilient psychosocialfunctioning, with friendship support being the strongest predictor. However, whereas friendshipsupport was a significant positive predictor of later resilient functioning, family support had a negativerelationship with later resilient psychosocial functioning.Conclusions: We show that friendship support, but not family support, is an important positive predictorof both immediate and later resilient psychosocial functioning in adolescence and early adulthood.Interventions that promote the skills needed to acquire and sustain adolescent friendshipsmay be crucial in increasing adolescent resilient psychosocial functioning.
