The first part of my work comprises empirical findings and theoretical foundations on stress in its historical development and socio-emotional and behavioural factors. The first study of my dissertation focuses on the relationship between perceived stress in adolescence, the context variables of perceived helpfulness and competition and socio-emotional and behavioural strengths and difficulties (i.e., emotional problems, symptoms of hyperactivity, problems with peers, prosocial behaviour and conduct problems) from early to middle adolescence. I postulated a moderation or mediation of the effect of perceived stress on socio-emotional and behavioural strengths and difficulties through the two context variables.
