Arising from the Cohens' work on the epidemiology of childhood
psychopathology, this book explores the two aspects of motivational
structure--ideas and values--that underlie the development of
maladaptive functioning and symptoms. The first aspect is a measure
of what children admire in their peers; this measure is seen as an
operationalization of personal ideals. The second is a measure of
life goals, seen as a representation of the contemporary structure
of long-term personal values. Despite the considerable amount of
attention given in the popular press and among social critics and
politicians, values have been relatively neglected as a topic of
empirical research in this country. To fill the void, this work
uses data from a large cohort of young people who have been studied
longitudinally since early childhood to elucidate three aspects of
life goals and values: * What are the demographic, family, peer,
school, and intrapersonal influences that shape values and life
goals of adolescents? * How do they change over the course of
adolescence? * What impact do these values have on the lives of
adolescents and young adults? Decisions about what we find most
admirable and which of the many apparently good things in life we
will take on as our top priorities are consequential both for the
contemporary and for the future emotional and behavioral well-being
of the individual. Thus, this book explores systematically the
environmental origins of ideals and values, using deprivation and
attainment hypotheses to examine a variety of influences on the
development of differences in values. This book also examines the
relationship between the measures of children's values and
psychopathology, examining both the "Axis 1" diagnosis, including
disruptive behavior disorders, depression, and anxiety, and the
"Axis 2" personality disorders. Providing an extensive study of the
life values of adolescents and the state of their mental health,
this monograph will be of interest to developmental psychologists
specializing in adolescence, child clinical psychologists, and
psychiatrists.
