About the Project
This project seeks to describe the shapes of growth curves for overweight status and multiple psychosocial adjustment problems, including depression, broad-band behavior problems, and narrow-band syndrome subscales during the period from age nine to age fifteen. It also aims to model the dynamic reciprocal relationships between overweight status and multiple psychosocial adjustment problems that may be causes and consequences of each other as adolescents progress and to explore effects of selected moderators on the dynamic reciprocal relationships between overweight and psychosocial adjustment problems.
