Sociology Race Gender Spanking Depressive Symptoms Children Adolescents <p>Using the Stress Process Model as a theoretical framework, this study examines data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY-C). Cross-sectional and change models are utilized to illustrate the symptoms of depression that exist among youth initially and over time. The purpose of this study is to investigate how race-gender status moderates the relationship between spanking and depressive mood among youth. </p><p> Depressive symptoms do not vary among African American boys and girls and European American boys and girls either initially or over time. Results indicate that spanking is significantly and positively related to depressive symptoms for African-American girls and European American girls initially, but only for African American girls over time. These results suggest that spanking has a negative impact on depressive mood for girls of both races initially, but only for African American girls over time. </p><p> Further, results of this study demonstrate that spanking does not appear to affect depressive symptoms among boys either short term or long term. Other notable factors under consideration in this study are maternal depression and emotional support offered by the mother. Maternal depression has a positive impact on youth regardless of race-gender status. Emotional support appears to have a positive effect on depressive symptoms for European American boys and girls initially, but only European American boys over time.</p> 2009-09-23 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1250632557 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1250632557 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
