“…We replicated and extended previous reports of gender differences in delinquency and mental health functioning (Bakker et al, 2010; Van Loon et al, 2014; Jacobson and Crocket, 2000). Specifically, based on a large multiethnic sample of adolescents, the results show that parental respect mediated the association between gender and delinquency, such that parental respect was a protective factor against delinquency for both females and males.…”

Purpose When researchers find an association between two variables, it is useful to evaluate the role of other constructs in this association. While assessing these mediation effects, it is important to determine if results are equal for different groups. It is possible that the strength of a mediation effect may differ for males and females, for example – such an effect is known as moderated mediation. Design Participants were 2532 adolescents from diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds and equally distributed across gender. The goal of this study was to investigate parental respect as a potential mediator of the relationship between gender and delinquency and mental health, and to determine whether observed mediation is moderated by gender. Findings Parental respect mediated the association between gender and both delinquency and mental health. Specifically, parental respect was a protective factor against delinquency and mental health problems for both females and males. Practical implications Demonstrated the process of estimating models in Lavaan, using two approaches (i.e. single group regression and multiple group regression model), and including covariates in both models.

“…and confirmed by either a score above the cut-off level on one of several well-validated questionnaires (see Table S1 in supporting information) or a mental health professional (i.e., for recruitment via GPs, mental health institutions, and the previous study, the mental health professionals were included in the selection process; for recruitment via advertisements and schools, the therapist of the parent was asked to sign a form confirming the diagnosis provided by the parent's self-report).

Parentification, Stress, and Problem Behavior of Adolescents who have a Parent with Mental Health Problems

When adolescents live with a parent with mental illness, they often partly take over the parental role. Little is known about the consequences of this so-called parentification on the adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems. This survey study examined this effect cross-sectionally and longitudinally in a sample of 118 adolescents living with a parent suffering from mental health problems. In addition, the study examined a possible indirect effect via perceived stress. Path analyses were used to examine the direct associations between parentification and problem behavior as well as the indirect relations via perceived stress. The results showed that parentification was associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems cross-sectionally, but it predicted only internalizing problems 1 year later. An indirect effect of parentification on adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems via perceived stress was found, albeit only cross-sectionally. These findings imply that parentification can be stressful for adolescents who live with a parent with mental health problems, and that a greater awareness of parentification is needed to prevent adolescents from developing internalizing problems.

“…Though relatively more well studied in relation to the development of internalizing and externalizing disorders among offspring (Burstein, Ginsburg, & Tein, 2010; Van Loon, Van de Ven, Van Doesum, Witteman, & Hosman, 2014), parental depression and anxiety have also been associated with youth ED behavior. A large population-based study that included over 150,000 adolescents and young adults, followed for an average of 5.4 years, found that parental depression and anxiety was associated with heightened risk for an ED (Bould et al, 2015).…”

This study examined whether social-emotional coping skills moderate the association between parental mental health symptoms and adolescent disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in a clinical sample of adolescents with internalizing and/or externalizing symptoms. Fifty-nine adolescent-parent dyads (N = 118 total participants) recruited from a metropolitan area in the Northeastern United States completed assessments at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Generally, higher parental depression and anxiety were only found to be associated with greater disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among adolescents who reported poorer (versus stronger) emotional awareness/expression skills and less (versus greater) ability to regulate emotions. Results may suggest that adolescents who lack the ability to effectively recognize, express, and manage negative emotions that arise in the context of a challenging home environment may be at greater risk for engaging in maladaptive coping behaviors, such as disordered eating. Thus, bolstering adolescent social-emotional coping skills may help protect against adolescent disordered eating.
