AB We investigated the psychosocial adjustment of school-aged, human
immunodeficiency virus-positive children and factors associated with
level of adjustment. Participants were primarily transfusion-infected
children living in middle-class families. We administered measures of
depression, anxiety, and self-concept to children, and measures of
behavior problems, social functioning, personality characteristics, and
life events to parents. An index of disease stage was also collected.
Children reported experiencing low levels of depressive and anxious
affect and generally felt positively about themselves. By contrast,
parents saw their children as more anxious and less socially active than
respective standardization samples. A greater than expected proportion
of these children, as reported by their parents, scored in the
maladaptive range on measures of social functioning, anxiety, and
conduct problems. Experience of adversive life events and progression of
the disease were associated with more behavioral and social problems.
Findings are discussed in terms of their generalizability and
implications for future research.
