Research Abstract

According to Grant-Young Scientist B’s 2011-2012 research, the first core study examined the impact of social capital and individual/family characteristics on the psychological well-being of 12- to 17-year-old adolescents in the United States. The second main study was aimed at testing the cross-cultural predictions of the associations betweenself-criticism and depression. The third major study identified a comprehensiveconceptualization of the structure of worry and its effect on social anxiety.
