Using nationally representative data from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS; <i>n</i> = 12,773), the current study examines associations between SMU, cyberbullying, and mental health concerns (i.e., sadness and suicidal ideation), with attention to SO and GI differences in these processes. Results showed that associations between higher SMU and greater risks of sadness and suicidal ideation were largely explained by exposure to cyberbullying. SO and GI disparities were also evident in digital risks and mental health concerns: Despite similar levels of SMU frequency, sexual and gender minority youth reported greater exposure to cyberbullying and greater mental health concerns compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers, respectively. In addition, sexual and gender minority youth experienced more pronounced mental health impacts when cyberbullying occurred, indicating a potential manifestation of minority stress processes, whereby bias-based harassment may be particularly harmful to youth mental health concerns. These findings highlight the importance of interventions that move beyond regulating social media use to instead address harassment and cyberbullying in order to promote safer online environments for youth, particularly sexual and gender minority youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"36 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.70295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the values instilled by many Latine parents is <i>bien educado</i>, a concept emphasizing that youth be well mannered, display positive social behaviors, and exhibit strong moral character (Lopez et al., 2022). While prior research has focused on cultural values such as <i>familismo</i> and <i>respeto</i>, relatively little is known about <i>bien educado</i>. To address this gap, focus group interviews explored Latine mothers conceptions of <i>bien educado</i>. Seventeen Latine mothers (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 41.88 years, SD = 6.23) reporting on their adolescents (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 14.97 years, SD = 3.55) participated. Focus group interviews were conducted in Spanish and English using semi-structured questions designed to explore mothers' definitions, beliefs, and practices related to <i>bien educado</i>. Mothers conceptualized <i>bien educado</i> as encompassing four main aspects: respect, consideration for others, humility, and being well-mannered. Furthermore, mothers emphasized their intentionality to foster these traits in their youth and viewed the concept as a strength-based approach that contributed positively to their youth's moral development. Findings reveal that <i>bien educado</i> is a multidimensional cultural value construct and a culturally relevant parenting goal among Latine mothers. Given the centrality of these four elements in prosocial and moral development (Carlo, 2014), the findings demonstrate the need to incorporate this understudied core Latine cultural value into sociocultural- and ecological-grounded parental socialization models and future research in U.S. Latine youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"36 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.70296","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through frequent assessments during the school day and the integration of self-report and peer-nomination data, this design enabled examination of fluctuations in emotional reactivity, emotional dysregulation, and aggressive behavior. Additionally, the study tested the potential indirect effect of emotional reactivity in the association between emotional dysregulation and physical and relational aggression. The results of multilevel modeling revealed that boys were rated higher on emotional dysregulation and physical aggression, whereas girls were more likely to be nominated for relational aggression. Emotional dysregulation was positively related to physical and relational aggression, but gender moderated this effect: emotional dysregulation predicted aggressive behavior more strongly among boys. Emotional reactivity to negative experiences also showed gender-specific associations, such that greater emotional reactivity was associated with greater physical aggression only among boys. Finally, among boys, the association between emotional dysregulation and physical aggression was partially attributed to the potential indirect effect of emotional reactivity, underscoring the role of real-time emotional processes in shaping aggressive behavior.

We analyzed survey data across two time points with Colombian youth (<i>N</i> = 806, ages 14–26, 52% male). Four core constructs were used to conceptualize PYD: internal locus of control, prosocial behavior, social trust, and civic accountability. Peacebuilding outcomes were assessed with the Youth Peacebuilding Beliefs Scale, which captures youth beliefs about their roles in promoting peace at different socioecological levels: microsystem (relational change), mesosystem (structural change), and macrosystem (cultural change). First, we explored potential PYD profiles among Colombian youth using latent profile analysis, finding two distinct profiles—youth who were overall high or low in PYD. Second, using path models controlling for age, gender, political orientation, SES, and Time 1 levels for each outcome, we found that greater support for mesosystem peacebuilding was predicted by lower levels of internal locus of control and, at the trend level, lower levels of social trust.

Results indicated that although racial identity exploration was positively associated with endorsement of social justice and racial justice life goals (i.e., critical purposes), both forms of critical reflection more robustly predicted critical purposes. Domain-specific critical reflection about racism more strongly predicted critical purpose for racial justice.
