Lecture 23 (old 26): Adolescent Problems410Introduction to Problems: II• Common Problems– Adolescents likely to be referred to mental health facilities because of problems related to depression and related to school difficulties– Lower SES adolescents have more problems than middle-class adolescent– Girls and middle-class adolescents were more likely to have internalizing problems (e.g., anxiety & eating disorders)– Boys and lower SES adolescents were more likely to be characterized by externalizing problems (e.g., fighting)1112Risk, Resilience, and Pathways• Risk Factors:– If we identify an antecedent as A1 and a later outcome as O2, and A1is correlated with O2, then A1is a risk factor for O2• Resilience Factors:– If not all of the people who have A1(say those individuals who have A1but have an IQ>125 don’t have a poor outcome, an IQ>125 is referred to as a resilience factorPsychology 1230 (Hartmann). Lecture 23 (old 26): Adolescent Problems513Pathways• A Developmental Pathway is a way of getting from one status early in development to some other (perhaps pathological status) at a later time.Coercive family environmentPoor monitoringDeviant PeersCoercive Family InteractionsDeviant PeersPoor MonitoringAdult Criminal Behavior14More on Pathways• Typically there is more than one developmental pathway to an outcomeNurturantFamily Envir.Parents serve as criminal modelsAdult Criminal Behavior15Treatment versus Prevention: I• Because of resource limitations, only few can be treated• Using limited resources:– Focusing on the problem person: triage• those that won't get better, even if treated, don't treat• those that will get better anyway (most drug explorers), don't treat• those who will only get better with treatment, treat!Psychology 1230 (Hartmann). Lecture 23 (old 26): Adolescent Problems61617Treatment versus Prevention: IIFocusing on prevention:• Primary prevention: treating people at risk, but who do not yet have the disorder• Secondary prevention: treating people whohave the disorder to cure the disorder• Tertiary prevention: keeping people who have the disease from getting worse18Risk versus Prevention• Risk studies are those that look at factors that are associated with engaging versus not engaging in the target behavior (e.g., drug taking). These are correlational studies.• Prevention studies aim to identify the aspects of primary prevention programs that reduce the incidence of the target behavior. These are experimental investigationsPsychology 1230 (Hartmann).
