Academic Pathways between Attention Problems and Depressive Symptoms Among Urban African American Children

Abstract: The present study investigated the pathways between attention problems and depressive symptoms, particularly the role of academic incompetence, among a community sample of urban African American children. Results supported the hypothesized path models from inattention to depressive symptoms for girls and boys. Academic performance in the spring of first grade mediated the relationship between inattention in fall of first grade and depressive symptoms in spring of 3rd grade. The effects held when controlling fo… Show more

“…Academic competence was related to declines in depressive symptoms and emotional distress across elementary school years (Herman, Lambert, Ialongo, & Ostrander, 2007;Roeser, Eccles, & Sameroff, 2000). Similarly, broad indices of social competence such as social problems, peer status, and sociability predicted stability in internalizing symptoms across childhood and adolescence with lower social competence forecasting increases in symptoms (Chen, Li, Li, Li, & Liu, 2000;Kiesner, 2002;Mesman et al, 2001).…”

“…Los niños con síntomas depresivos difícilmente pueden concentrarse en sus estudios y les resulta difícil obtener unas buenas calificaciones (Cole, 1991;Patterson y Stoolmiller, 1991;Roeser, van der Wolf y Strobel, 2001), aumentando este hecho su sentido de incapacidad tanto social como académico (autoconcepto académi-co negativo). Aunque el estado anímico de los niños puede interferir en su rendimiento académico (Roeser et al, 2001), también es cierto que el bajo rendimiento escolar constituye un factor de riesgo para sufrir depresión (Herman, Lambert, Ialongo y Ostrander, 2007), ya que el desempeño académico pobre alimenta el autoconcepto negativo que el niño va forjándose como estudiante en sus años escolares. Además, existen estudios que afirman que el riesgo de depresión es acumulativo, puesto que los fracasos escolares del estudiante contribuyen a incrementar su percepción de falta de competencia (Cole, 1990).…”

“…Ainda na investigação dos efeitos da comorbidade, destacam-se os transtornos afetivos, nomeadamente os transtornos depressivos e o transtorno bipolar. A compreensão dos mecanismos subjacentes a esse tipo de comorbidade tem apontado o papel relevante de variáveis como o desempenho acadêmico, a competência social ou a presença de transtornos do comportamento, mas essa é também uma linha de investigação em desenvolvimento (Herman, Lambert, Ialongo & Ostrander, 2007;Ostrander & cols., 2006). Em síntese, a grande diversidade e prevalência de transtornos comórbidos constitui um tópico de estudo premente para a compreensão da natureza e heterogeneidade de perfis do TDAH, bem como para o aperfeiçoamento do diagnóstico diferencial.…”
