Multidimensional Resilience in Urban Children Exposed to Community Violence.
O'Donnell, Deborah A.; Schwab-Stone, Mary E.; Muyeed, Adaline Z.
Child Development, v73 n4 p1265-82 Jul-Aug 2002
This study examined how parent, school, and peer support differentially affected resilience among urban sixth-, eighth-, and tenth-graders. Findings indicated that both parent and school support factors positively related to resilience in children who had been exposed to community violence; however, peer support negatively related to resilience in substance abuse and school misconduct/delinquency. Findings were most robust among victimized children, followed by children who had witnessed violence. (Author/KB)
