Internalizing symptoms among Kosovar adolescents: the pubertal correlates in girls and boys

Original language description

Pubertal status/stage of maturation and pubertal timing have been linked with emotional symptoms of problems among youth,particularly in vulnerable developmental contexts at risk for stress exposure. The present study tested the extent to whichpubertal status/stage of maturation and pubertal timing were associated with anxious/depressed, withdrawn/depressed, andsomatic complaint symptoms in Kosovar adolescents. It also tested whether sex moderated these relationships. Data werecollected from N = 1,342 Kosovar adolescents (665 girls; M age = 13.26 years, SD = 1.27; 677 boys M age = 13.19 years,SD = 1.31). Regression analyses provided evidence that pubertal status/stage was positively associated with rates of anxious/depressed, withdrawn/depressed, and somatic complaint symptoms in girls, but only with withdrawn/depressed symptomsin boys. Additionally, pubertal timing was positively associated with anxious/depressed, and somatic complaint symptomsin girls; no significant links were found for boys. The present study provided evidence that advanced pubertal status/stage aswell as timing is positively associated with internalizing symptoms in girls; however, only pubertal status/stage was positivelyassociated with withdrawn/depressed symptoms in boys. The study highlights the importance of pubertal development forinternalizing symptoms in a developmental context known for high stress exposure, particularly for girls.
