Levendosky, Alytia A.; And Others
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v19 n10 p1183-95 Oct 1995
Depression and maltreatment were analyzed as predictors of childhood adjustment problems, with 68 children (ages 8 through 12) at high risk due to poverty, physical abuse, and neglect. Depression and maltreatment predicted parents' and teachers' ratings of social competence. Depression also predicted parents' ratings of peer rejection, children's ratings of social competence, and social problem-solving skills. (Author/SW)
