Können Unterschiede in Stresswahrnehmung und -bewältigung Geschlechtsunterschiede in der depressiven Symptombelastung bei Jugendlichen erklären?
2001
Zusammenfassung: Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie untersucht den differentiellen Beitrag von Belastung, Bewältigung und sozialen Beziehungen zur Erklärung depressiver Symptombelastung im Jugendalter. 101 weibliche und 89 männliche Jugendliche nahmen an vier jährlichen Erhebungswellen teil, in denen depressive Symptome, Alltagsbelastungen, Konflikte mit Eltern und Freunden, der Copingstil sowie das Selbstkonzept untersucht wurden. Im Alter von 14 Jahren wurden bei weiblichen im Vergleich zu männlichen Jugendlichen ein höheres Ausmaß an Alltagsstressoren, mehr Konflikte in der Beziehung zur Mutter sowie mehr vermeidendes Coping festgestellt; männliche Jugendliche wiesen zu allen Messzeitpu…
Depressive symptoms in late life : Results from a study in three Nordic urban localities.
1995
The prevalence and correlates of depressive symptoms among 75-year-olds were examined in three Nordic urban localities: Gothenburg, Sweden (n=446), Jyvaskyla, Finland (n=382) and Glostrup, Denmark (n=541). Depressive symptomatology was assessed with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Prevalence figures for depressiveness seemed to be somewhat higher in Jyvaskyla than in the two other localities. Women had more depressive symptoms than men in all three areas. The lowest mean score was recorded for Danish men and the highest level of symptoms in Finnish women. The associations discovered in this Nordic comparative study between demographic characteristics and depre…

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en relación a la evaluación de la eficacia de un programa de intervención para hombres condenados por violencia contra la mujer, desarrollado en medio abierto en la provincia de Valencia (Programa Contexto).

Prevalencia e influencia de la violencia homofóbica sobre la sintomatología depresiva y el nivel de autoestima
2020
Las personas homosexuales y bisexuales constituyen un colectivo sobre el que se ejerce violencia. Este estudio analiza la prevalencia e influencia que ejerce la violencia homofóbica sufrida a lo largo de la vida sobre la sintomatología depresiva y el nivel de autoestima. La muestra está compuesta por 730 personas homosexuales o bisexuales con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 60 años (M = 28.47; DT = 8.81). Los resultados indican que entre el 29.6% y 76.7% ha recibido violencia psicológica o verbal y entre el 4.2% y el 19.6% ha sufrido violencia física a lo largo de su vida. También se obtienen diferencias significativas según el género, siendo los hombres quienes refieren mayores tasa…
Adolescent Depressive Symptoms and Breakup Distress During Early Emerging Adulthood
2017
Breakups are a normative and frequent part of the romantic experience. In this longitudinal study, we followed 144 adolescents (mean age = 16.57) for a period of 4 years and examined the extent to which level of depressive symptoms predicts the intensity of breakup distress during emerging adulthood and, further, the extent to which breakup distress reported during emerging adulthood is associated with the quality of a current romantic relationship. The findings suggest that higher levels of depressive symptoms during adolescence can lead to more difficulty in recovering from breakup in early emerging adulthood. In addition, experiencing greater breakup distress during emerging adulthood w…
Selection into long-term unemployment and its psychological consequences
2000
The factors which predict a person’s long-term unemployment were studied within the framework of an emotional and behavioural regulation model consisting of two orthogonal dimensions: behavioural inhibition versus expression, and low versus high self-control of emotions (Pulkkinen, 1995, 1996). The participants were drawn from the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, in which the same individuals have been followed up from age 8 ( n = 369) to 36 ( n = 311). In the present study, data collected at ages 8, 14, 27, and 36 were used. The findings showed that low self-control of emotions, especially aggression, at age 8 directly predicted long-term unemplo…
High perceived stress is associated with unfavorable eating behavior in overweight and obese Finns of working age
2016
Stress-related eating may be a potential factor in the obesity epidemic. Rather little is known about how stress associates with eating behavior and food intake in overweight individuals in a free-living situation. Thus, the present study aims to investigate this question in psychologically distressed overweight and obese working-aged Finns. The study is a cross-sectional baseline analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Of the 339 study participants, those with all the needed data available (n = 297, 84% females) were included. The mean age was 48.9 y (SD = 7.6) and mean body mass index 31.3 kg/m(2) (SD = 3.0). Perceived stress and eating behavior were assessed by self-reported questionn…
Nutrient Intake and Depression Symptoms in Spanish Children: The ANIVA Study
2016
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nutritional intake and depressive symptoms in Valencian schoolchildren. The ANIVA (Antropometria y Nutricion Infantil de Valencia) study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. During academic year 2013–2014, 710 schoolchildren aged 6–9 years were selected from eleven primary schools in Valencia (Spain).

Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI), and z-scores were evaluated in all subjec…

Body image and adolescence: A behavioral impairment model.
2017
Adolescence is a period marked by important physical and social changes that can lead to a negative body image. The purpose of this study was to find a model enabling the appearance of behavioral impairment related to body image (restrictions, avoidance, and checking) to be predicted by body image attitudes (concern or Appearance Orientation, and dissatisfaction or Appearance Evaluation), Gender, emotional symptomatology, self-consciousness, ideas of reference (IR) and age. A total of 661 participants (67.47% girls) with an average age of 17.14 years (SD=2.34) filled in the GHQ-28, SCS on self-consciousness, REF referential thinking scale, MBSRQ (AO and AE), and BIAQ. A partial mediation mo…
