Overview

A longitudinal study reveals comorbid internalizing and externalizing behaviors in adolescents, indicating the roles of context and personality factors.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the joint developmental trajectories of anxious/depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior among adolescents, considering contextual and individual influences.
  • Conducted a three-wave longitudinal study with 1542 high school students in China.
  • Administered surveys at three time points with six-month intervals.
  • Utilized parallel process latent growth mixture models to identify trajectories.
  • Identified four distinct joint trajectories: dual-high-growth, dual-moderate-growth, healthy, and dual-high-decline.
  • Childhood emotional abuse, neglect, rejection sensitivity, and negative coping were significant risk factors.
  • Positive coping strategies and meaning in life were found to be protective factors.
