- The study proposes a general psychopathology factor (p-factor) that reflects shared psychological issues across different disorders, particularly in adolescents during a vulnerable developmental stage.
- The research analyzed a large group of adolescents to identify characteristics of the p-factor, focusing on aspects like emotional challenges and behavioral problems, and its relationship with emerging personality issues.
- Findings indicate that difficulties in self-perception and interpersonal relationships correlate with higher general psychopathology, suggesting that positive peer connections may serve as a protective factor against mental health issues.
