Parental divorce and adult psychological distress: evidence from a national birth cohort: a research note

Article Abstract:

An investigation confirmed the findings of an earlier smaller-scale study that there is an association between childhood parental divorce and adult psychological distress. The study, conducted amongst 23- and 33-year olds from a national birth cohort, did not confirm that there is a greater risk for the female children of divorced parents. However, it did confirm that neither the age of the child at the time of parental separation, nor the remarriage of the parent with whom the child was living, moderated the psychological outcome. The study also confirmed that parental death does create an increased risk of psychological distress.

Psychological characteristics of Turner syndrome

Article Abstract:

The physiological effects of Turner syndrome upon psychopathology are difficult to distinguish due to the non-physiological psychological effects the condition may cause. The syndrome does not appear to have any negative effect on overall intelligence, but may be correlated with poor visio-spatial skills. The psychological states of women affected with the syndrome are discussed.

Fifteen, female and stressed: changing patterns of psychological distress over time

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that teenage girls are experiencing more stress than they did a decade ago. Two cohorts of Scottish teenage girls, one from 1987 and one from 1999, were compared. Findings suggest that a rise in educational expectations, coupled with traditional concerns regarding personal identity, may contribute to increased stress in present-day teenagers.
