  • Title: The impact of family and community violence on children's depression trajectories: examining the interactions of violence exposure, family social support, and gender.
    Author: Kennedy AC, Bybee D, Sullivan CM, Greeson M.
    Journal: J Fam Psychol; 2010 Apr; 24(2):197-207. PubMed ID: 20438195.
    Abstract:
    This longitudinal study used multilevel modeling to examine the relationships between witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV), community and school violence exposure (CSVE), family social support, gender, and depression over 2 years within a sample of 100 school-aged children. We found significant between-child differences in both the initial levels of depression and the trajectories of depression; depression over time was positively associated with change in witnessing IPV and CSVE and negatively associated with change in support. Two significant 3-way interactions were found: Gender and initial support, as well as gender and initial witnessing IPV, both significantly moderated the effect of change in witnessing IPV on the children's depression over time.
