Rudolph, Karen D.; Hammen, Constance
Child Development, v70 n3 p660-77 May-Jun 1999
Used contextual and transactional approach to examine age and gender differences in experience and consequences of life stress in clinic-referred 8- to 18-year olds. Found that adolescent girls experienced highest interpersonal stress, self-generated within parent-child and peer relationships. Preadolescent girls experienced highest independent stress and conflict in the family context. Adolescent boys experienced highest noninterpersonal stress associated with self-generated events.
