Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The overarching aim of the research project \u201eThe effect of inequality and social capital on adolescent psychological well-being\u201c was to explore the relationship of income inequality and social capital within Icelandic neighborhood communities, with adolescent symptoms of anxiety and depression, from 2006 to 2016.<\/p>\n

Taken together, the research project contribute to theoretical knowledge on how income inequality in neighborhood communities influence symptoms of adolescent anxiety and depression. Overall, the results show that while cognitive social capital may be reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression among adolescents, it does not explain the income inequality effect. The results also show that although great community income inequality is associated with adolescent anxiety, regardless of adolescents\u2019 economic standing, it is only related to depression among adolescents from deprived households. Finally, the results show that as income inequality decreases within neighborhood communities over time, adolescent anxiety decreases by 37%. In light of growing global concerns over rising anxiety and depression among young people, this research project provides evidence of the detrimental effect of great income inequality – which policy makers should not ignore.<\/p>\n
