Exploring Gender Differences on Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Among Maltreated Youth: Implications for Social Work Action 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This purpose of this study was to explore the moderating influence of gender on the relationship between child maltreatment
and internalizing symptoms (e.g., affective and somatic problems) and externalizing behavior (e.g., rule breaking behavior
and aggression) among children aged 7–12 years old. Using a longitudinal comparison group design and a sample of 300 youth
of which 56% (n = 168) had substantiated cases of child maltreatment, results of a structural equation modeling revealed that internalizing
symptoms exerted a mediating influence that was conditioned by gender. Only girls’ internalizing symptoms were found to mediate
the link between child maltreatment and externalizing behavior while a direct relationship between maltreatment and externalizing
behavior was found among boys. These findings provide evidence for gender differences in the pathways between being child
maltreatment and maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Thus, adapting evidence-based strategies that target gender
specific internalizing behaviors and externalizing behaviors among maltreated youth may significantly reduce the risk of short
and long-term maladaptive behavior. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe present study is embedded in the contextual approach of acculturation research. It examines teachers’ attitudes and behaviors, teachers’ expectations as well as their teaching practices as risk and resource factors in minority students’ school adjustment. The study applies the method of content analysis and uses a deductively developed and inductively enriched system of categories. The results of the study provide an integrative review of qualitative research on the role teachers play in the acculturation process of minority youth and their adjustment outcomes in the school context. 相似文献

This study prospectively examined associations among multiple theoretically informed risk (e.g., depression, sexual sensation seeking, and risky peers norms) and protective factors (e.g., social support, STI knowledge, and refusal to have sex self efficacy) on unsafe sex among 715 African American adolescent females aged 15–21 who participated in an STI/HIV prevention intervention. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess associations between baseline characteristics and sexual risk over a 12-month follow-up period. Overall risk in this population was high: at baseline, nearly a third of women reported sex under the influence of alcohol or substances; ≥ 2 partners for vaginal sex, and casual sex partners in the 60 days prior to baseline, and nearly 75% of those reporting vaginal sex used condoms inconsistently. In multivariable analysis, when risk and protective factors were simultaneously considered, higher levels of sexual sensation seeking were associated with having multiple sex partners and inconsistent condom use. Greater perception of risky peer norms was associated with a higher risk of having sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In addition, higher sex refusal self-efficacy was protective against having multiple; casual; and concurrent sex partners. Incorporating these salient factors into prevention programs may be critical to the development of targeted interventions for this population. 相似文献
