“…The general model explored in this research is based on ideas developed by Robertson and Simons (1989) and argues that family dysfunction and associated abuse, neglect and maltreatment lead to further negative interactions between parent and child as the child becomes an adolescent. The model is thus an interactional one in which some children "spiral downward" in their negative behaviours (Bagley, 1999).…”

Using a normative Canadian study as the baseline for comparison of measures of stress and adjustment, and as the basis for a model predicting poor adjustment following stress in family, school and community, a comparison was made of 2,524 15 and 16-year-olds self-competing questionnaires in school settings in Canada, Britain, Pakistan, India, Hong Kong and The Philippines. Results indicate some cross-cultural validity for the instruments used, implying that there are culturally universal aspects of reaction to stress, in terms of emotional and psychosomatic disorder, conduct disorder and hyperactivity, and impaired self-esteem. Students in Canada, Britain, Hong Kong and The Philippines were the most similar in terms of mean levels of stress and of reactions to stress, whilst students in Pakistan and India were the most dissimilar but in opposite directions, the Indian students having particularly good levels of adjustment. A notable finding was that the McMaster Family Adjustment Device was more successful in predicting problems of emotion and behaviour than were more specific measures of physical and sexual maltreatment.

“…Previous studies have accumulated evidence on both environmental and personal factors associated with an increased risk of adolescent depression, including parental maltreatment, negative self-views, and poor coping style. [10][11][12] To determine the distinctive features of Korean adolescents with depression, we compared the parental, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics of depressed adolescents with those of healthy adolescents in a Korean adolescent sample.…”

Objectives: Adolescent depression is a complex disorder influenced by a variety of personal and familial factors. In this study, we compared the familial, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics of adolescents with and without diagnosed depression. Methods: Forty adolescents with depressive disorder were recruited from two psychiatric clinics, along with 46 healthy adolescents from a middle school and a high school. We then compared the participants' cognitive and behavioral characteristics and the childrearing attitudes of their parents. Results: Compared to the healthy adolescents, the adolescents with depression exhibited lower self-esteem, higher emotional reappraisal, greater disruptive behavior, and lower attention. Furthermore, compared to the mothers of the healthy adolescents, the mothers of those with depression reported less affective, less autonomic, and more rejecting parenting attitudes towards their children. Conclusion: We found that attentional problems, negative parenting attitudes, negative self-cognition, and expressive suppression are all associated with adolescent depression. Parenting education and interventions appear to be needed to correct the negative cognitions of adolescents with depression.

“…It was hypothesized that Self-Esteem would be negatively correlated with Depressive Symptoms (Path S, Figure 1), and a significant amount of research evidence supports this hypothesis (e.g., Allgood-Merten, Lewinsohn, & Hops, 1990;Cheng and Lam, 1997;DuBois, Fetaer, Sherman, & Bull, 1994;Reinherz, Stewart-Berghauer, Pakiz, Frost, Moeykens, & Holmes, 1989;Robertson & Simons, 1989). No study (of which I am aware) has examined the relationship between self-esteem and depressive symptoms among American Indian youth.…”

“…In a study cited in this subsection, Robertson and Simons (1989) Rumbaut (1994) included controls for family socioeconomic status, gender, and age. Rumbaut reported a statistically-significant relationship between depressive symptoms and gender (standardized P = -0.22, p < 0.0001; females had more depressive symptoms than did males), father's unemployment (p = 0.04, p < 0.05), and perceiving their family's economic situation had deteriorated over the five years prior to the interview (P = 0.05, p < 0.0001).…”

“…At Time 2, which was one month later, 664 of the original 802 youth were re-interviewed. In addition, Robertson and Simons (1989) (Reinherz, Stewart-Berghauer, Pakiz, Frost, Moeykens, & Holmes, 1989) assessed the relationship between self-perception and depressive symptoms in a study of378 youth who were part of a 10-year longitudinal study. The data were from the grade 9 assessment, and over half (51.1%) of the youth in their study were female.…”
