Risk and Protective Factors for Psychological Adjustment and Grades Among Adolescents

This article examines the ways in which two risk factors—negative peer behavior and time spent without an adult—and two protective factors—adolescent resources and parental behavior—influence psychological adjustment and grades among 745 adolescents ages 10 to 17. It is an analysis of data from the National Commission on Children (1991) 1990 Survey of Parents and Children. The results indicate that negative peer behavior is inversely related to adolescent well-being. Two adolescent resources buffer the effects of negative peer behavior on grades. Adolescent resources and parental behavior also have limited independent compensatory effects on psychological adjustment and grades.
