Nicole Llewellyn, Karen D. Rudolph, Glenn I. Roisman
Research suggests that the pubertal transition, particularly when experienced
earlier than age-matched peers, is associated with heightened depression in
girls but less depression in boys. This study examined whether stress within
other-sex relationships serves as one process through which puberty
differentially contributes to depression for girls and boys. Youth (51 girls, 34
boys; M age = 12.68)... hiện toàn bộ

by externalizing behavior problems were identified: Low, Low-Medium, Moderate,

identification of school associates considered popular, was investigated in a
sample of 727 middle school students (7th and 8th grades). Most sociometrically
popular students were not high on perceived popularity. Most students high on
