(4) Conclusions: The results suggest that PS may be a rehabilitation target for the prevention of psychological distress and should be addressed especially for PBTSs who live in a disadvantaged situation.Įarly academic achievement is critical to school readiness and later academic success. Furthermore, PS was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between SES and internalizing problems but not on the relationship between SES and externalizing problems. (3) Results: The influence of SES on the CBCL total index was mediated by PS. Mediation analysis models were performed on psychological measures with and without the inclusion of covariates. Psychological measures were the parent-compiled versions of the Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).
(2) Methods: demographic and clinical data of 80 children (age range: 4–17 y.o.) were retrospectively collected. Given the psychological adjustment difficulties observed in PBTS, in the current study we aimed to explore the relationship between SES and psychological functioning, considering the contribution of PS as a mediator. While PS is one of the most impaired functions in pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTSs), previous research has demonstrated that low SES may be a predictor of increased psychosocial risk in PBTSs. (1) Background: The relationship between processing speed (PS) and psychological adjustment in the healthy population is well established, as is that between low socio-economic status (SES) and psychological distress. Implications of these findings for the use of SES in social and behavioral science research are discussed. Some support for a simplified approach to measuring SES was found. Validity data for these SES measures with academic and intellectual measures also were obtained. The weakest agreement across measures was found when families had one wage earner who was female. 91), as were intermeasure correlations and classification agreement (range r =. Interrater reliability and classification agreement was high for the total sample (ranger =. Reliability was examined both within (interrater agreement) and across (intermeasure agreement) measures. Measures of SES were two from the United States (four-factor Hollingshead scale, Nakao and Treas scale) and one from Canada (Blishen, Carroll, and Moore scale). This study investigated issues related to commonly used socioeconomic status (SES) measures in 140 participants from three cities (Atlanta, Boston, and Toronto) in two countries (United States and Canada).
