Parental Depression and Economic Disadvantage: The Role of Parenting in Associations with Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms in Children and Adolescents

A close student–teacher relationship is a protective factor for students’ psychological well-being, and it is associated with students’ internalizing and externalizing symptoms, but the mechanism underlying this association is unclear. To address this issue, this study investigated the role of children’s hope in the relationship between teachers’ perceived closeness in the student–teacher relationship and children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Participants included 562 Italian students aged from 4 to 9 years and 48 Italian teachers aged from 26 to 60 years. Results indicated that the children’s hope played the mediating role between closeness and children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Findings, limitations, and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Internalizing And Externalizing Symptoms

Objetivo: Estudar sintomas emocionais (internalização e externalização) em 12 crianças e adolescentes com deficiência visual. Método: Foram pesquisados 12 sujeitos com idade entre 6 e 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, diagnosticados com cegueira total ou visão subnormal (grupo de pesquisa), de acordo com dados fornecidos pela instituição em que as crianças eram assistidas e os relatos dos pais ou responsáveis. Também foram pesquisadas 10 crianças com visão normal (grupo controle), com a mesma faixa etária e também de ambos os sexos. Para as avaliações, foram usados o Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil, o Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) e a entrevista introdutória do instrumento Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version 1, preenchidos com base nos relatos fornecidos. As análises estatísticas foram feitas através do teste do qui-quadrado, teste de Mann- Whitney e índice de correlação de Pearson. O nível de significância foi estabelecido em 5%. Resultados: Foi encontrada maior incidência de sintomas internalizantes no grupo de pesquisa. Com relação ao grupo controle, foram verificados problemas com regras, ou seja, esse grupo apresentava o padrão clínico dos sintomas de externalização no quesito quebra de regras. Conclusão: Sintomas de internalização foram mais frequentes no grupo de crianças com deficiência visual.

Internalizing And Externalizing Symptoms

AbstractPsychological symptoms that arise in early childhood can follow a multitude of patterns into adolescence, including homotypic continuity (i.e., similar symptoms over time) and heterotypic continuity (i.e., a shift in symptoms over time). However, we know very little about the factors that distinguish homotypic vs. heterotypic continuity of early internalizing and externalizing symptoms over development. In a separate line of research, diurnal cortisol has been shown to predict later internalizing and externalizing problems. In the current study, we tested whether diurnal cortisol patterns moderated the course of internalizing and externalizing symptoms from preschool to early adolescence. 554 children (54% male) and parents participated in a longitudinal study. Parents reported on their children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms at ages 3 and 12, and children collected diurnal saliva samples at age 9. Results showed that asteepercortisol decline at age 9 combined with high internalizing or externalizing problems at age 3 predicted higher internalizing problems at age 12. A morebluntedcortisol decline combined with early internalizing or externalizing problems predicted higher externalizing problems in early adolescence. These results illustrate the moderating role of stress system functioning in homotypic and heterotypic patterns of psychopathology from preschool to early adolescence.
