The Experience and Expression of Homesickness in Preadolescent and Adolescent Boys.
Thurber, Christopher A.
Child Development, v66 n4 p1162-78 Aug 1995
Investigated homesickness in boys ages 8 through 16. Results indicated that homesickness was prevalent and varied in intensity, was experienced as a combination of depression and anxiety, was presented most often as internalizing behavior, and was more typical for younger boys. The most-homesick became increasingly so during the separation, contrary to popular notions. (AA)
