“…For example, an alternative interpretation implies that loneliness and depression are independent but sequential manifestations of an unmeasured maladaptive process [54]. Another possible model is that internalizing problems in young children cause peer rejection and loneliness in later childhood, which then leads to depression in adolescence [51]. Given the lack of any associations between peer rejection and loneliness (T1 and T2) or depression (T3) in the current study, such an explanation does not fit the current data.…”

Childhood loneliness is characterised by children's perceived dissatisfaction with aspects of their social relationships. This 8-year prospective study investigates whether loneliness in childhood predicts depressive symptoms in adolescence, controlling for early childhood indicators of emotional problems and a sociometric measure of peer social preference. 296 children were tested in the infant years of primary school (T1 5 years of age), in the upper primary school (T2 9 years of age) and in secondary school (T3 13 years of age). At T1, children completed the loneliness assessment and sociometric interview. Their teachers completed externalisation and internalisation rating scales for each child. At T2, children completed a loneliness assessment, a measure of depressive symptoms, and the sociometric interview. At T3, children completed the depressive symptom assessment. An SEM analysis showed that depressive symptoms in early adolescence (age 13) were predicted by reports of depressive symptoms at age 8, which were themselves predicted by internalisation in the infant school (5 years). The interactive effect of loneliness at 5 and 9, indicative of prolonged loneliness in childhood, also predicted depressive symptoms at age 13. Parent and peer-related loneliness at age 5 and 9, peer acceptance variables, and duration of parent loneliness did not predict depression. Our results suggest that enduring peer-related loneliness during childhood constitutes an interpersonal stressor that predisposes children to adolescent depressive symptoms. Possible mediators are discussed

“…Further research is needed, particularly since social competence has been highlighted as a significant predictor for optimal developmental outcomes in both the short term and the long term (Alonso Bde et al, 2014). For example, childhood peer rejection has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of current and future adjustment problems (Bagwell, Newcomb, & Bukowski, 1998 (Pedersen, Vitaro, Barker, & Borge, 2007).…”

The Relationship Between Motor Skills, Social Problems, and ADHD Symptomatology: Does It Vary According to Parent and Teacher Report?

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between motor performance, attentional, hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, and social problems. Correlations between parents' versus teachers' ratings of social problems and ADHD symptomatology were also examined. Method: A total of 129 children aged 9 to 12 years were included. ADHD symptoms and social problems were identified based on Conners' Rating Scales-Revised: L, and the McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development was used to assess motor skills. Results: After controlling for ADHD symptomatology, motor skills remained a significant predictor of social problems in the teacher model but not in the parent model. After controlling for motor skills, inattentive (not hyperactive-impulsive) symptoms were a significant predictor of social problems in the parent model, whereas, hyperactiveimpulsive (not inattentive) symptoms were a significant predictor of social problems in the teacher model. Conclusion: The findings suggested that intervention strategies should consider the interaction between symptoms and environmental contexts.http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jad versus teachers' ratings of social problems and ADHD symptomatology were also examined.Method: A total of 129 children aged 9 to 12 years were included.

“…Whether the WSPT program changed the depressed students' estimations or if it worked in a way to encourage CoM students to choose friends who do not smoke is left to be determined by future studies. Given the support in the literature, which suggests that depressed adolescents have a difficult time making friends and are often at the periphery of the social group, we are confident that the WSPT program changed cognitions rather than being able to affect change in friendships within a year (Aseltine, Gore, & Colten, 1994;Bosacki, Dane, & Marini, 2007;Henrich, Blatt, Kuperminc, Zohar, & Leadbeater, 2001;Oldehinkel, Rosmalen, Veenstra, Dijkstra, & Ormel, 2007;Pedersen, Vitaro, Barker, & Borge, 2007). Furthermore, both interpersonal and cognitive theories of depression suggest that difficulty with peer interactions, whether they are accurate with their perceptions or if they are biased in their perceptions, would agree that changing friendship groups would be unlikely (Joiner & Coyne, 1999;Lakdawalla et al, 2007;Marcus & Nardone, 1992).…”

Introduction: Smoking prevention interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing smoking prevalence in the United States. Further work is needed to address smoking in China, where over one third of the world's current smokers reside. China, with more than 60% of the male population being smokers, also presents a unique opportunity to test cognitive processes involved in depression, social influences, and smoking. Adolescents at-risk for developing depression may process social information differently from low-risk counterparts. Methods:The Wuhan Smoking Prevention Trial was a schoolbased longitudinal randomized controlled trial aimed at preventing initiation and escalation of adolescent smoking behaviors. Thousand three hundred and ninety-one male seventh-grade students were assessed with a 200-item paperand-pencil baseline survey, and it was readministered 1 year later following program implementation.
