Abstract.

Psychiatric disorders, symptom clusters and adjustment problems in a community based sample comprised three age cohorts: 8, 12, and 17 years. The data indicated that anxiety symptoms decreased with age. Conduct problems increased with age for males, affective problems increased with age for females, and substance use and social anxiety increased with age for both sexes. Concerns about inadequacy also increases with age, but only for females. These gender-based developmental differences in psychopathology and other findings are discussed.

    Citation Excerpt :

    The resemblance of PB experiences among non-twin adult siblings remains to be further investigated. The relationship with parents is generally assumed to play a key role in the development of psychopathology throughout the lifespan (Berg-Nielsen et al., 2002; Enns et al., 2002; Kashani et al., 1989; Kullberg et al., 2020). More specifically, recollections of childhood lack of parental care as well as perceived parental overprotection have been found to be associated with affective disorders, such as anxiety and depression (Enns et al., 2002; Parker et al., 1979).
