Finkelstein, Jo-Ann S.; Donenberg, Geri R.; Martinovich, Zoran

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v30 n2 p155-71 Apr 2001

Examined the relationship between perceived maternal control and depression for 11 urban adolescent girls seeking psychological services at an outpatient clinic. No relation between control and depression was found for Caucasian and Latina girls, but high control was linked to less depression among African American girls. Findings highlight the importance of ethnicity in studies of child rearing and depression. (SLD)
