Resumo
Neste estudo transversal, que usou Partial Least Squares Path Modeling, investigamos se os problemas de internalização e externalização, medidos pelas avaliações dos pais no Child Behavioral Checklist, em 253 (146 meninas) com desenvolvimento típico de adolescentes jovens (9-15 anos) estavam mais associados com o nível socioeconômico (NSE) ou riscos socioeconômicos e se esses efeitos eram mediados pelo status puberal (corrigido para a idade) ou tempo da puberdade (status puberal em relação aos pares da mesma idade), fatores de desenvolvimento conhecidos por se relacionarem com ambos os SES e saúde mental. Tanto o SES quanto o risco socioeconômico foram avaliados por meio de fatores latentes. O fator NSE formado pelas medidas de escolaridade média dos pais, poder de compra (ABEP), status social (Hollingshead) e prestígio ocupacional (Salata); e o fator de risco SES formado por medidas de escolaridade média dos pais, renda abaixo da linha da pobreza e uso de ajuda do governo (Bolsa Família e / ou Sistema Único de Saúde). O único efeito que atingiu um tamanho de efeito médio foi que os sintomas de internalização em meninas foram relacionados positivamente ao estado puberal. Assim, o avanço puberal parece ser um importante impulsionador de aumentos nos problemas de internalização em meninas.
In this cross-sectional study, which used Partial Least Squares Path Modeling, we investigated whether internalizing and externalizing problems, measured by parental ratings in the Child Behavioral Checklist, in 253 (146 girls) typically developing early adolescents (9-15 year-olds) were more associated with socioeconomic status (SES) or SES risks and if these effects were mediated by either pubertal status (corrected for age) or pubertal timing (pubertal status relative to same age peers), developmental factors known to relate to both SES and mental health. Both SES and risk measures were assessed using latent factors. The SES factor formed by the measures of parents' average level of education, purchasing power (ABEP), social status (Hollingshead) and occupational prestige (Salata); and the SES risk factor formed by measures of parents' average level of education, income below the poverty line and use of government aid (Bolsa Família and / or Unified Health System). The only effect that reached a medium effect size was that internalizing symptoms in girls were positively related to pubertal status. Thus, pubertal advancement seems to be an important driver of increases in internalizing problems in girls.
