THE ROLE OF FAMILY AND PEERS IN SOCIAL SELF-EFFICACY

Abstract

The roles of family, peers, and selected social factors in the origins of depression were assessed in a school-based study of adolescents. Social self-efficacy and social support from family and peers were found to be interrelated in their links with depression. Risk factors are delineated and suggestions for preventive intervention are offered.
