Poverty and psychosocial adjustment of adolescents:1 year follow-up study

Abstract

The effects of poverty status, gender and life stress on psychosocial adjustment of adolescents were evaluated. Self report measures of depression and externalizing behavior problems at 2 time points 1 year apart and their life stress for the 1 year period between the two assessment points were obtained from adolescents in a middle school located in an area with heavy concentration of low income families. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses of data from 336 adolescents(162 boys and 174 girls) who completed both assessments revealed that effects of poverty status and stress were different depending on gender and type of adjustment measure. For depression at time 2 after controlling for depression at time 1, significant main effects of gender and life stress were obtained, but only the main effect of life stress was significant for externalizing behavior problems at time 2 after controlling for time 1. Gender × Stress interaction was significant for depression and Poverty Status × Gender and Gender × Stress interaction were also significant for externalizing behavior problems. Girls, compared to boys, were more vulnerable to life stress and poverty status.
