The differential effects of family violence on adolescent adjustment

Article Abstract:

Family violence adversely affects the behavior of teenagers as is observed in a diverse group of high school students. Witnessing parent-child and interparental violence are important causes and predictors of externalized and internalized behavior problems in adolescents. A high correlation exists between parent-child violence and violence between parents. Witnessing interparental violence has little effect when the level of parent-child violence is high. Males experience higher levels of parent-child violence than females. The internalizing behavior is also affected by race.

An examination of the factor structure for the Youth Self Report on a multiethnic population

A study attempts to address some of the limitations of Achenbach's Youth Self Report (YSR) to examine its factor structure and equivalence across four racial/ethnic groups, and to determine if another combination of items could accurately represent the constructs Achenbach sought to elucidate in a simpler way. Results reveal the new YSR is shorter, is invariant across racial/ethnic groups, and has a simple structure.
