Abstract

Relatively little existing research has examined variation in psychological distress outcomes for individuals who suddenly lose access to multiple established network ties. Adolescents placed in foster care provide a unique opportunity to examine the effects of different levels of network disruption. Some types of foster care placement provide stability and continuity while others are characterized by persistent network turnover. Using data from telephone surveys with adolescents in foster care in a midwestern state, the author compares the primary relationships of youth in foster care and in the general population, and explores relationships between psychological distress, levels of network disruption, strength of ties within three domains (the biological family, foster care, and peer networks), and other network variables. The author finds that variations in psychological distress following network disruption may be explained, in part, by the structure and strength of the resulting network. Also, increasing levels of network disruption weaken networks and ongoing or repeated instances of disruption may be particularly problematic. Strong and supportive ties with new network members may replace weak or absent ties within old network domains as a protective factor for psychological outcomes. The author advocates grounding social problems research in a solid, theoretical foundation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
