Adolescents with a history of child maltreatment experience increased risk for psychopathology that sets them on a trajectory towards a range of difficulties in adulthood.

School-Based Acceptance And Commitment Therapy For Adolescents With Anxiety, Julie M. Petersen
School-Based Acceptance And Commitment Therapy For Adolescents With Anxiety, Julie M. Petersen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Mental health problems, particularly anxiety, are a growing problem in adolescents. Some treatments (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) have been shown effective for youth anxiety, but do not help all adolescents.

Factors that modify or change these relationships have been studied by both psychological and educational researchers, in efforts to inform interventions. One area of interest is school ethnic contexts, specifically school ethnic representation (number of same-ethnic peers) and school ethnic diversity (proportion of different ethnic groups in student body). This study investigated whether these two school ethnic variables changed or influenced the relationship between …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Data from the Flourishing Families Project was used to analyze the varying perceptions of adolescent and parents regarding technology communication with one another and their personal perception of the emotional climate in the home.
