“…Developmental models suggest that the nature of peer relationships differs between girls and boys [13]. Overall, girls tend to use coping skills which rely on satisfactory peer relationships, thus satisfactory peer relationships may provide a buffer against stressful life events [57]. If girls with ADHD do not have this important source of support, this may also contribute to internalising difficulties.…”

Emerging evidence suggests that adolescent girls with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more socially impaired compared with their peers; however, research has yet to elucidate the nature of this impairment. We investigated overt (e.g., physical, such as hitting or kicking or verbal, such as teasing and taunting) and relational (e.g., social manipulation, such as social exclusion) bullying and victimisation in adolescent girls with and without ADHD. Adolescent girls (mean age = 15.11) with (n = 22) and without (n = 20) ADHD and their primary caregivers completed measures of overt/relational bullying and victimisation and social impairment. Adolescent girls with ADHD experienced more social problems and more relational and overt victimisation than adolescent girls without ADHD. Although adolescent girls with ADHD engaged in more overt and relational bullying than adolescent girls without ADHD, this difference was not statistically significant. Oppositional Defiant Disorder symptoms appeared to be more strongly related to bullying behaviour, while victimisation appeared to be more strongly related to ADHD.

“…En la cultura occidental urbana se ha verificado una prolongación en años de la duración de esta etapa, por lo que autores como Elliott y Feldman (2000) sugieren hablar de sub-etapas: la adolescencia temprana (11 a 14 años), la media (15 a 17 años) y la adolescencia tardía (18 a 25 años). Hill (1993) ha revisado una serie de estudios empíricos sobre adolescentes y considera que es un período evolutivo en el que sólo algunos individuos desarrollan problemas con significación clínica. Las transiciones que tienen lugar durante la segunda y tercera décadas de la vida de todo individuo proveen las estructuras y recursos que permiten que el niño se transforme en adolescente y éste en un adulto (McCullough et al, 2000).…”

El presente trabajo analiza dimensiones del bienestar psicológico y patrones de personalidad en estudiantes adolescentes con y sin presencia de síntomas y síndromes clí-nicos. Las pruebas SCL-90-R y MACI, y una escala de bienestar psicológico, fueron administradas a una muestra de 305 estudiantes adolescentes de escuelas públicas eirgentinas. Se veriñcó que el 27% presentaba síntomas y síndromes de relevancia clí-nica, especialmente referidos a depresión, tendencias suicidas y trastornos alimentarios. Los adolescentes de riesgo alto (RA) percibían menor bienesteu' psicológico, especialmente en las dimensiones proyectos de vida y control de situaciones. Por su parte, aquéllos de riesgo bajo (RB] tendían a dramatizar sus conflictos, eran más individualistas y conformistas, revelaban mayor tendencia a la insensibilidad social y parecían estar más disconformes con su sexualidad.Palabras clave: Bienestar psicológico, adolescentes, patrones de personalidad, síndro-mes clínicos. PersonaUty patterns, clinical syndromes and psychological well-being in adolescentsDimensions of psychological well-being in adolescents with and without presence of clinical symptoms and personality patterns were analysed. For assessment purposes, SCL-90-R, MACI and a measure of psychological well-being (BIEPS) were administered to a sample of 305 adolescent students attending public schools in Buenos Aires city. We found presence of different kinds of psychopathology in 27% of the total sample. Psychological well-being was lower in subjects with clinical patterns and symptoms, mainly in the domains related with life projects and control of events. Subjects considered not being at risk showed tendencies to dramatize, were unruly and conforming and expressed concems related to sexual discomfort and social insensitivity.

“…As a developmental period, adolescence is considered to be a transition from childhood to adulthood. The balance of influence on social development during adolescence shifts progressively from parents to peers (Hill, 1993). Given the developmental character of this life period, one can better appreciate the importance of assertiveness.…”

The present cross-cultural study compared self-reported assertiveness in 652 Swedish and 654 Turkish high school students by using a multi-dimensional measure called the Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB). Four hypotheses were tested in the study. First, the hypothesis that Swedish adolescents would be more assertive than their Turkish counterparts was supported by the data. Second, the expectation that Turkish boys would be more assertive than Turkish girls, while there would be no differences between Swedish girls and boys, was not confirmed. In general, girls were found to be more skilled than boys in expressing and dealing with personal limitations. Third, as expected, more assertive adolescents in both Sweden and Turkey reported having more friends and receiving more social support than their less assertive peers. Finally, the data supported the expectation that older adolescents would be more assertive than younger ones. The results are discussed in terms of cultural and gender differences.
