Summary
This research study utilized another ongoing study to test for mediating and moderating processes in the relationship between stressors and developmental outcomes among a diverse sample of urban adolescents. Data from 267 adolescents and parents who reported as Black/African American or White/Caucasian were analyzed for this study. Self-report questionnaires were completed by adolescent and parent informants independently. Parent level of education, job description, income, and home address were considered in calculating “Family SES Score.” The authors found that adolescent stress was positively associated with executive function skills of emotional control, shifting, and inhibition. Adolescent stress was also found to be positively associated with parent stress, school grade, and adolescent age.
