          Abstract

          Foram investigadas as variáveis depressão e desempenho escolar em 215 crianças e adolescentes, de ambos os sexos, de 7 a 15 anos, de escolas públicas da periferia de Porto Alegre e Viamão, divididas em 2 grupos. Um grupo de participantes (n=105) estava abrigado em instituições governamentais de proteção especial e o outro (n=110) morava com a família e freqüentava as mesmas escolas. Os participantes responderam individualmente o Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) e o Raven. As professoras preencheram uma Escala de Avaliação do desempenho dos alunos. Os resultados do CDI indicaram uma média mais alta entre as meninas e no grupo institucionalizado. Foi encontrada uma correlação negativa entre o CDI e o desempenho escolar. As meninas apresentaram uma média mais alta no desempenho escolar e as crianças institucionalizadas uma média mais baixa. Estes resultados indicam a necessidade de estratégias de atendimento específicas para crianças e adolescentes institucionalizados para melhorar seu desempenho escolar e prevenir depressão entre as meninas.

          Translated abstract

          The present study investigated depression and school achievement of 215 children and adolescents of both sexes, 7 to 15 years-old, who were attending public schools in poor regions of Porto Alegre and Viamão, Brazil. About half the participants (n=105) were living in public institutions. The others (n=110) lived with their families and attended the same schools. The participants completed the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Raven test. An evaluation scale to assess school achievement was completed by teachers. The CDI scores showed significant differences between the groups. Females living in institutions presented significantly higher scores. A negative correlation was found between the CDI scores and school achievement. Females presented higher school achievement than males but institutionalized children had lower school achievement. These results point to the need of developing specific strategies to deal with institutionalized children and adolescents to improve school performance and to prevent depression, specially among females.

          The study of stress and competence in children: a building block for developmental psychopathology.

          This article discusses the building blocks for a developmental psychopathology, focusing on studies of risk, competence, and protective factors. The current Project Competence studies of stress and competence are described, with particular attention to the methodology and strategies for data analysis. The authors present a 3-model approach to stress resistance in a multivariate regression framework: the compensatory, challenge, and protective factor models. These models are illustrated by selected data. In the concluding section, an evaluation of the project is offered in terms of future directions for research.
