Poverty, Parenting, Peer, and Neighborhood Influences on Young Adolescent Antisocial Behavior Journal of Social Service Research 28, 1 (2002): 1-23 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc.

Other variables that predicted youth depressive symptoms also were identified. Results indicated that neighborhood problems, nonparticipation in outside school and neighborhood activities, residing with mothers who exhibited depressive symptoms, and mother's use of physical punishment were partial mediators of the effect of poverty on depressive symptoms two years later. Youth health status, lower levels of school satisfaction, marital-partner conflict, and father's emotional support also predicted depressive symptoms. The findings indicate that youth depressive symptoms are multiply determined and that poverty can adversely affect young adolescents in many ways. |
