Adolescents' perceived control: domain specificity, expectations, and approach

Article Abstract:

Adolescents try to secure control over the events that affect their lives. They have some fixed notions about their potential to exercise control that can be termed as perceived control. Data from the Berne Adolescent Longitudinal Study and a survey of 3452 adolescents between the age group of 14 and 20 years were analyzed to answer some of the questions related to perceived control. It was found that perceived control is different in the personal-social domain and the societal domains and has an expectancy and an appraisal component.

Social support and personal models of diabetes in relation to self-care and well-being in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Article Abstract:

Research shows that peer support and perceived impact of diabetes are major predictors of depression among adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Dietary self-management is better among those adolescents who felt they could control the condition. A major predictor of self-management techniques was found to be the level of family support, with greater support contributing towards faith in the efficacy of diabetes management.

Psychosocial aspects of chronic illness in adolescents with thalassaemia major

Article Abstract:

It is a fallacy that patients suffering from serious ailments have poor interactive skills. A study of 90 thalassemics and 100 healthy subjects shows that the social behaviour of the disabled patients is not very different from the healthy respondents. In fact, in the adaptability and self identification tests, thalassemics perform even better than the normal individuals.
