Punamaki, Raija-Leena; Qouta, Samir; El Sarraj, Eyad

Child Development, v68 n4 p718-28 Aug 1997

Used path analysis to examine relations between trauma, perceived parenting, resources, political activity, and adjustment in Palestinian 11- and 12-year olds. Found that the more trauma experienced, the more negative parenting the children experienced, the more political activity they showed, and the more they suffered from adjustment problems. Poorer parenting perception were associated with high neuroticism and low self-esteem. (Author/KB)
