Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental risk factors in adolescent substance use.

TL;DR: The patterns of correlations across the two waves of the study were consistent with conduct disturbance leading to substance use in both males and females, but depression leading to smoking, drug use and, to a lesser extent, alcohol use in girls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult outcomes of childhood and adolescent depression. III. Links with suicidal behaviours.

TL;DR: This study followed up into adulthood a group of child psychiatric patients suffering from depressive disorders and a closely matched nondepressed child psychiatric control group, suggesting that the pathways from childhood psychopathology to adult outcomes can be complex, and depend crucially on what happens later.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evaluation of an interview assessment of marriage.

TL;DR: An interview assessment of marriage relationships is shown to have good inter-rater reliability, high consistency across the accounts of both marriage partners and to be resistant to methodologic bias.
Book ChapterDOI

Resilience: Causal Pathways and Social Ecology

TL;DR: In this paper, the author distinguishes resilience from concepts of positive psychology and competence by showing that there is heterogeneity in how humans respond to environmental hazards, whether those are physical or psychological.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meyerian psychobiology, personality development, and the role of life experiences.

TL;DR: The author reviews the literature regarding the causative role of life experiences in the genesis of psychiatric disorder, the extent to which the effects of stressors are situation-specific, the effects on the organism, the reason for individual variations in the response to stress, and the cause of life stressors.
