Life Experiences among Urban Adolescents: Examining the Role of Context.
Allison, Kevin W.; And Others
Child Development, v70 n4 p1017-29 Jul-Aug 1999
Developed Urban Adolescent Life Experiences Scale to measure life events among urban adolescents based on data from focus-group interviews and examined impact of neighborhood on adolescents' perceptions of life stress. Found that life stress in the peer domain varied by adolescent's neighborhood of residence. Family/community stress was linearly related to neighborhood indices of economic resources. (Author/KB)
