However, the mechanisms through which parental involvement are linked with adolescent depression are not clear. Applying the social stress model, this paper seeks to examine whether adolescent coping strategies mediate the relationship between parental involvement and adolescent depression, as well as whether social stressors moderate the association of parental involvement with adolescent depression. Also, this paper explores the varying effects of different types of parental involvement on adolescent depression; and whether parenting styles are more reactive or proactive in nature. Using data from National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Wave I and Wave II, it is found that parental involvement reduces adolescent depression, but not through enhancing adolescent coping strategies. Parental involvement does moderate the effect of social stressors, but parental involvement is only beneficial when social stressors are low, not when they are high. It is noteworthy that shared activities play as important a role as does communication in reducing adolescent depression. Moreover, the effect of shared activities is more robust, as demonstrated by fixed effects models. Results from cross-lagged models provided evidence of both reactive and proactive parenting styles. 2009-07-29 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1243879505 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1243879505 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
