Bolger, Kerry E.; And Others
Child Development, v66 n4 p1107-29 Aug 1995
Examines the effects of persistent economic hardship on children. Both black and white children who experienced persistent family economic hardship demonstrated problems in peer relations, showed conduct problems at school, and reported low self-esteem. Connections between persistent economic hardship and psychosocial adjustment were more pronounced for boys than for girls and were mediated by parental behavior. (AA)
