“…Besides the factor structure, the results regarding the correlations of Bulgarian version of CES-DC and subscale scores with the SDQ, the SCAS provided some evidence for convergent validity. Consistent with the previous studies (e.g., Essau et al, 2012;Tsocheva et al, 2013), scores on the SDQ and SCAS scales were found significantly associated with CES-DC scores in the expected directions in this sample of Bulgarian adolescents. The results showed that a high level of depression in adolescents is associated with high levels of emotional and behavioral problems.…”

“…The Cronbach Alpha of the CES-DC in the present study was found for age to be .89 for the total CES-DC score. Also, consistent with previous studies (e.g., Essau et al 2012), the CES-DC subscales with the lowest and highest Cronbach Alphas were those of "positive affect" and "depressed affect" subscales, respectively. Moreover, in line with the previous findings (e.g.…”

“…In the original development studies, there were sex differences in depression (Radloff, 1977). A significant sex difference was also found in the previous studies conducted in various countries (e.g., Duggal et al, 2001;Essau et al, 2012;Li et al 2010). This can be regarded as providing evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale when used in various cross-cultural settings.…”

En el presente estudio se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión búlgara de la “Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale” (CES-DC), una escala auto-informada de 20 ítems diseñada para medir síntomas depresivos en niños y adolescentes. Un total de 700 adolescentes (323 niñas y 377 niños), de 13 a 17 años, participaron en el estudio. Además de la escala CES-DC, los adolescentes también contestaron el “Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire” (SDQ) y el “Spence Child Anxiety Scale” (SCAS). Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio mostraron índices de ajuste adecuados, demostrando la validez de las cuatro dimensiones de la escala original. La CES-DC correlacionó de manera significativa con las puntuaciones totales de la SDQ y sus subescalas, mostrando que niveles elevados de síntomas depresivos se asocian con niveles altos de problemas emocionales y conductuales. En general, los resultados evidencian la validez factorial y fiabilidad de la versión búlgara de la escala CES-DC en muestras adolescentes de Bulgaria.

“…This limitation is partially mitigated by multiple informants reporting on youths' emotional symptoms at Time 1. Further, this subscale is reliably associated with validated measures of adolescent depression and predicts children and adolescents' depressive symptoms (Alpaslan et al 2016;Essau et al 2013;Goodman 2001;Goodman et al 2003;Muris et al 2003;Tsang et al 2012). YR-ES and PR-ES at Time 1 were also strongly related to YR-DS at Time 2.…”

Research has established that negative self-schemas are potent risk factors for depressive symptoms among children and adolescents. However, few studies have examined whether positive self-schemas provide unique information about children and adolescents' depressive symptoms and their well-being. Further, examining the stability of cognitive content during this developmental transition is also relevant. Informed by positive (clinical) psychology and cognitive-developmental frameworks, this study examined a) the longitudinal stability of children and adolescents' self-schemas and b) the prospective associations of positive and negative self-schemas to children and adolescents' depressive symptoms and life satisfaction in a community sample of 139 children and adolescents (M age = 11.20, SD = 1.21) and their parent/guardian. Results provided preliminary evidence that negative and positive self-schemas exhibit stability over time. Positive self-schemas also predicted unique variance in children and adolescents' depressive symptoms, above and beyond negative self-schemas. Only negative self-schemas were uniquely associated with children and adolescents' life satisfaction over time. These results suggest there may be utility in incorporating positive selfschemas into models of child and adolescent depression. As well, these results may provide important information regarding appropriate timing for the prevention of child and adolescent depression and bolstering of well-being.

“…Externalizing problems such as conduct problems (Keenan & Shaw, ; Maughan, Rowe, Messer, Goodman, & Meltzer, ), oppositional defiant behavior (Boylan, Vaillancourt, Boyle, & Szatmari, ; Loeber, Burke, Lahey, Winters, & Zera, ; Munkvold, Lundervold, Lie, & Manger, ), attention deficit‐hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and peer problems (Zahn‐Waxler, Shirtcliff, & Marceau, ) show a marked male preponderance. On the other hand, internalizing problems such as depressive/mood disorders, anxiety disorders, emotional problems, and PTSD show a marked female majority (Barkmann, Erhart, & Schulte‐Markwort, ; Bettge, Wille, Barkmann, Schulte‐Markwort, & Ravens‐Sieberer, ; Essau, Olaya, Pasha, Gilvarry, & Bray, ).…”

This study investigated the extent to which gender differences in coping, school and family environments could account for variation in psychopathology among school-age children. Participants were 665 middle school students. Results showed no gender differences for PTSD. Females scored higher on emotional problems and prosocial behavior whereas males scored higher on conduct problems.ADHD was higher among children with LD, whereas emotional and conduct problems were higher in females with LD. Emotional and conduct problems increased more by age in females. Gender differences were found in various patterns of predictor-outcome relations. While emotion-focused coping was associated with emotional and peer problems in both genders, it was associated with conduct problems in females only. Problem-focused coping was positively associated with prosocial behaviors in females whereas it was negatively associated with peer problems in males. In addition, family environment was negatively associated with emotional problems and PTSD symptomatology in females, whereas school environment was negatively associated with emotional problems in males. Clinical and research implications were discussed. K E Y W O R D S Gender Differences, Psychopathology, School environmentTheoretical accounts in personality and developmental psychology emphasize the complex transaction of antecedent conditions, levels of adjustment or vulnerability, and risk and protective factors in the etiology of negative developmental outcomes in children. One potential avenue for advancement may exist with a specific focus on gender differences in psychopathology, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder and internalizing and externalizing behaviors, although complete support for a gender distinction has not been conclusive (Olff et al., 2007).Gender differences in child and adolescent psychopathology mainly fall into two main dimensions, namely, externalizing and internalizing problems (Rutter, Caspi, & Moffitt, 2003). Emerging evidence suggests that patterns of posttraumatic symptoms cohere along these two dimensions (Miller & Resick, 2007). Children with high levels of externalizing symptoms are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because they may lack the emotion regulation and coping skills necessary for managing their posttrauma reactions. As for internalizing 404
