The relationship of young adolescent Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) scores to their social and cognitive functioning

Children's perceptions of counter-depressive activities were examined as a function of their sex, age, and level of depression. In Study 1, 322 children aged 8 to 12 yr. were asked to identify as many counter-depressive activities as possible. Girls provided more counter-depressive responses than boys and more often reported Help-seeking responses, while boys more frequently produced both Activity and Recreation responses. In Study 2, 98 children, ages 8 to 14 yr., completed the Children's Depression Inventory and generated counter-depressive activities. Girls provided more counter-depressive activities than boys, and older children provided more counter-depressive activities than younger ones. Although depression scores were unrelated to the types of counter-depressive activities provided, they were modestly, though statistically significantly, correlated with the number of counter-depressive activities: as depression increased, children listed fewer coping activities. The relationship between children's perceptions of counter-depressive activities and those of adults is discussed.

Clinic Group

Factor analyses of responses to the Children's Depression Inventory were compared for two groups: 123 children at a psychiatric outpatient clinic and 175 elementary school children who attended Grades 4, 5, and 6. Varimax rotations of principal-axis factors yielded four factors for the clinic children and two factors for the non-clinic student group. The items constituting the factors for the clinic group appeared to be theoretically related. These four factors were considered to reflect cognitive, motivational, social integration, and somatic components. In contrast, for the students there were a general factor with no predominant theme and a second factor characterized by non-compliant behavior. The implications for the relationship between adult and childhood depressive symptomatology are discussed as well as suggestions for studying the inventory as a screening instrument.

The Relationship

Abstract. Identifying pilot attributes associated with risk is important, especially in general aviation where pilot error is implicated in most accidents. This research examined the relationship of pilot age, expertise, and cognitive functioning to deviations from an ideal circuit trajectory. In all, 54 pilots, of varying age, flew a Cessna 172 simulator. Cognitive measures were obtained using the CogScreen-AE ( Kay, 1995 ). Older age and lower levels of expertise and cognitive functioning were associated with significantly greater flight path deviations. The relationship between age and performance was fully mediated by a cluster of cognitive factors: speed and working memory, visual attention, and cognitive flexibility. These findings add to the literature showing that age-related changes in cognition may impact pilot performance.

Children’S Depression

Resumo Objetivo Identificar os principais indicadores de depressão de amostra de adolescentes em vulnerabilidade social e associar com variáveis sociodemográficas e comportamentais. Método: A amostra foi composta por 135 adolescentes em vulnerabilidade social de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Indicadores de depressão foram investigados por meio do Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI). Para comparação entre os sexos, utilizou-se o teste U de Mann-Whitney. Com o objetivo de identificar os fatores de agrupamento entre os sintomas depressivos, recorreu-se à análise fatorial com rotação ortogonal varimax normalized. Além disso, a Regressão de Poisson foi utilizada no sentido de identificar as razões de prevalências, tendo como variável desfecho o tercil superior da pontuação do CDI. Resultados: Os indicadores “perda ou ganho de peso”, “baixa autoestima” e “fadiga” apresentaram maior poder explicativo dos escores do CDI. Os meninos atingiram maior pontuação média (24,9 pontos). Os índices do CDI foram altos independentemente de questões sociodemográficas, como etnia, e comportamentais, tempo em frente à televisão e ao computador ou videogame. Conclusão: Foram observadas altas prevalências de sintomatologia depressiva nos adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade social, com destaque para os meninos, que possuíram 2,24 vezes maior probabilidade de apresentar pontuação elevada no CDI em comparação às meninas.
