| Annotation | The authors use panel data for 1994 to 1999 to determine if age is related to psychological distress in the Czech Republic during the country's post-Communist transformation. Age was positively associated with Czech men's 1999 depression, and negatively with women's problem behaviour. Age was also associated with change in men's depression between 1994 and 1999, but not change in women's problem behaviour. The additions of life-course variables, economic experiences, and health and social-psychological resources helped further explain the relation between age and change in men's depression; this was particularly true for economic experiences and personal resources. These same variables were also related to change in men's problem behaviour and women's depression, which appeared to be distress symptoms but simply not related to age. (RH). |
