Predictors of Competence among Offspring of Depressed Mothers.
Garber, Judy; Little, Stephanie
Journal of Adolescent Research, v14 n1 p44-71 Jan 1999
Examined predictors of competence among children of depressed mothers. Found that students that were competent at eighth grade had greater achievement commitment, more positive coping, better family relationships, and greater social support at Grade 6 than eighth graders whose competence decreased between Grade 6 and 8. Among adolescents experiencing more hassles during junior high, greater achievement commitment and better family relationships related to higher competence. (Author/KB)
