This article examines the ways in which two risk factors - negative peer behaviour and time spent without an adult - and two protective factors - adolescent resources and parental behaviour - influence psychological adjustment and grades among 745 adolescents ages 10 to 17. It is an analysis of data from the National Commission on Children (1991) 1990 Survey of Parents and Children. The results indicate that negative peer behaviuor is inversely related to adolescent well - being. Two adolescent resources buffer the effects of negative peer behaviour on grades. Adolescent resources and parental behaviour also have limited independent compensatory effects on psychological adjustment and grades.
