Journal ArticleDOI

Socioeconomic Status and Adolescent Mental Disorders

Journal ArticleDOI

Emotional and behavioral problems of Chinese left-behind children: a preliminary study

TL;DR: LBC are at risk to develop emotional/behavior problems, particularly if they are left behind early in life, for longer periods, in the care of young caregivers or nonrelatives with poor education and low socioeconomic status, and with less teacher support.
Journal ArticleDOI

The course of PTSD, major depression, substance abuse, and somatization after a natural disaster.

Journal ArticleDOI

A family process model of economic hardship and adjustment of early adolescent boys.

TL;DR: The emotions and behaviors of both mothers and fathers were almost equally affected by financial difficulties, and disruptions in each parent's child-rearing behaviors had adverse consequences for adolescent development.
Journal ArticleDOI

What parents know, how they know it, and several forms of adolescent adjustment: further support for a reinterpretation of monitoring.

TL;DR: Across sex and informant, high parental knowledge was linked to multiple measures of good adjustment, but children's spontaneous disclosure of information explained more of these relations than parents' tracking and surveillance efforts did.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationships Between Poverty and Psychopathology: A Natural Experiment

TL;DR: An income intervention that moved families out of poverty for reasons that cannot be ascribed to family characteristics had a major effect on some types of children's psychiatric disorders, but not on others.
Journal ArticleDOI

Family Poverty, Welfare Reform, and Child Development
