Impact of Resources and Colleague Respect on 1st Graders' Mental Health
A study explores how lack of resources and low colleague respect influence 1st graders' social skills and mental well-being. Findings show these factors play a significant role, comparable to socio-economic status. Externalizing problems are affected by multiple factors, while internalizing problems are particularly influenced by resource availability and colleague esteem. This research sheds light on key determinants of mental health in young children.

Results (Milkie & Warner, 2011) 3 Learning problems Externalizing problems Interpersonal problems Internalizing problems Lack of resources 0.044 0.035 0.046 0.092 Low respect from colleagues 0.041 0.028 0.059 0.024 Low standards 0.022 0.034 Interference 0.026 Reading below grade level 0.009 SES (0.041) (0.046) (0.091) (0.054)
Conclusions 4 Learning problems The impact of lack of resources and low respect from colleagues were each as great at the impact of socio- economic status (SES), as was the impact of having five students reading below grade level Externalizing problems Lack of resources, low respect, low standards, and interference each had an impact around half that of SES Interpersonal problems Lack of resources, low respect, and interference each had an impact around from one-third to two-thirds that of SES Internalizing problems Lack of resources had around twice, and low esteem from colleagues around half, the impact of SES ?
