Chronic Residential Crowding and Children's Well-Being: An Ecological Perspective.
Evans, Gary W.; Lepore, Stephen J.; Shejwal, B. R.; Palsane, M. N.
Child Development, v69 n6 p1514-23 Dec 1998
Examined the connection between chronic residential crowding and student adjustment, academic achievement, vulnerability to learned helplessness, blood pressure, and parent-child relationship in 10- to 12-year olds in urban India. Found that crowding was positively associated with blood pressure only among boys, and with learned helplessness only among girls. Perceived parent-child conflict accounted for several correlates of crowding among children. (Author)
