Poverty Experiences and the Transition to Adolescence: Measuring the Impact of Poverty Status and Duration of Internalized and Externalized Outcomes of Young Adolescents Presented: Atlanta, GA, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, May 2002 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); CESD (Depression Scale); Children, Poverty; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Poverty; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the NLSY in 1994, this paper addresses the degree to which differing poverty experiences have an effect on internalized and externalized behaviors of young adolescents. Previous research suggests that poverty status and welfare status have a significant impact on child outcomes, but much of the literature limits its samples to young children. Ordinary least squares regression will be used to examine these effects on a sample African American, Latino, and white adolescent between the ages of 10 and 14. This study adds to literature on poverty research by addressing the impact of poverty as a chronic strain on young adolescents who are experiencing numerous developmental transitions. The Behavioral Problems Index measures the internalized and externalized outcomes. In addition, the study addresses the potential mediating influence of the parent child relationship using the HOME supplement measuring warmth and the mother's mental health using the CES-D. |
