Effect of social change on the behavior of school-age children. A transcultural perspective.
This paper reviews the evidence linking social change to psychological problems in school-aged children and their families. Specific mediating factors associated with social change are examined and their impact on behavior discussed. Factors which make children and families more vulnerable or more resilient toward external stresses and social change are reviewed and suggestions made for intervention programs both in developed and developing countries.
