Poverty and psychosocial adjustment of adolescents: Mediating effects of family risk factors

Abstract

483 adolescents from grade 7 and 8 were sampled from a school in an area with heavy concentration of low income families. Family risk factors, parent-child relations were assessed with self-report measures at time 1; depression and externalizing behavior problems were assessed at time 2, 1 year later. SEM analysis of data from 331 adolescents(162 boys and 169 girls) who participated in both assessments revealed that adverse effects of poverty might operate through different pathways for boys and girls. For girls, family risk factors and poor parent-child relations mediated adverse effects of poverty on both depression and externalizing behavior problems. Family risk factors also had direct influence on depression in girls. Mediating effects of family risk factors and parent-child relations were significant for depression in boys, but their mediating effects for externalizing behavior problems were not supported by boys' data. Direct path from family risk factors to boys' externalizing behavior problems was nearly significant. The results were discussed in terms of implications for preventive intervention programs for adolescents in poverty.
