Direct linkShin, YoungJu; Hecht, Michael L. – Journal of Adolescence, 2013
Past research on parentification suggests that adopting adult responsibilities to the point at which the child plays a parental role places children at risk for poor mental and behavioral health outcomes. Since family relations are particularly important in Mexican culture, two hypotheses were posed to examine the indirect effects of…

Muehlenkamp, Jennifer J.; Brausch, Amy M. – Journal of Adolescence, 2012
Attitudes towards the body have been largely overlooked as a potential risk factor for adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) despite theorizing that a negative body image may play a critical role in the development of this behavior. The current study used structural equation modeling to evaluate the fit of a theoretical model specifying body…

Brakefield, Tiffany; Wilson, Helen; Donenberg, Geri – Journal of Adolescence, 2012
African American (AA) adolescent girls are at heightened risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and thus knowledge of factors related to risky sexual behavior in this population is crucial. Using Social Learning Theory (Bandura, 1977), this paper examines pathways from female caregivers' risky sexual behavior and substance use to…

Kang, Piljoo P.; Romo, Laura F. – Journal of Adolescence, 2011
Structural equation modeling was used to test a theoretical path model of church engagement, personal spirituality, and mentoring relationships on depressive symptoms, involvement in risky behaviors, and self-reported grades among Korean American adolescents. It was hypothesized that personal spirituality and mentoring relationship quality would…

Archambault, Isabelle; Janosz, Michel; Fallu, Jean-Sebastien; Pagani, Linda S. – Journal of Adolescence, 2009
Although the concept of school engagement figures prominently in most school dropout theories, there has been little empirical research conducted on its nature and course and, more importantly, the association with dropout. Information on the natural development of school engagement would greatly benefit those interested in preventing student…

Carter, Rona; Jaccard, James; Silverman, Wendy K.; Pina, Armando A. – Journal of Adolescence, 2009
Using an "at-risk" sample of African American girls, the present study examined the link between girls' retrospective reports of pubertal timing, girls' perceived relative pubertal timing, and their behavioral and emotional problems as rated by the girls themselves (N = 102; 11-17 years), as well as teachers and parents. Structural equation…
