Considering numerous studies that associate the onset of depression with stress, we tested three hypotheses to elucidate the role of biological sex in stress-induced depression on a sample of 1618 secondary school students from Zagreb, Croatia (Males, <i>N</i> = 671, Mage at baseline = 16.4 years, SD = 0.60; Females, <i>N</i> = 947, Mage at baseline = 16.3 years, SD = 0.65), in a three-wave longitudinal study. The study tested the hypotheses regarding: (a) sex-related differences in reciprocal causation of stress and depression, (b) the moderating role of biological sex in the effect of stress on depression, and (c) the mediating role of stress on the pathway from biological sex to depression. The data were analyzed using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and standard moderation and mediation analyses. Females consistently reported higher levels of stress (Cohen's <i>d</i> ranged from 0.76 to 0.83) and depression (0.59 to 0.69) compared with their male peers. The hypothesis that biological sex moderates the effect of stress on depression was not supported, as the interaction between sex and subjective stress was mostly nonsignificant or small in magnitude, with standardized regression coefficients not exceeding .126. The hypothesis of sex-differentiated reciprocal causation of stress and depression was also not supported since cross-lagged relations were found to be mostly nonsignificant, indicating that the association between stress and depression rests largely on stable dispositions. The data supported the hypothesis of stress mediating the effect of biological sex on depression, with indirect effects ranging from 0.23 to 0.25 (95% CI 0.19 to 0.30). The findings suggest that the increased vulnerability of adolescent girls may lie in stable dispositions possibly responsible for higher sensitivity and less effective coping with stressful situations that lead to depression.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143530105","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}

Social baseline theory posits social connectedness may impact adolescents' everyday emotion regulation. This study examined the relation between social connectedness and NE after a negative social interaction (emotion regulation) and whether contextual factors moderate the association. Adolescent girls (<i>N</i> = 114; <i>M</i>_age = 12.26, <i>SD</i> = 0.8) from a midsized Midwestern U.S. city (67.5% White, 19.3% Black/African American, 9.6% biracial, 1.8% Asian, 1.8% Native American/other race; 8.8% Latinx) completed a 16-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol, reporting current NE, current social context and social connectedness, peak NE, and receipt of co-regulatory support. Multilevel models were used to examine direct associations of social connectedness on emotion regulation, defined as current NE regressed on peak NE, and moderation of the social connectedness-emotion regulation association by social context, co-regulatory support, and adolescent shyness. Greater within- and between-person social connectedness was associated with better emotion regulation (greater reductions in NE). However, the within-person association depended on girls' social context: Compared to being with solely peers and/or non-family, being with family was associated with a weaker association between social connectedness and emotion regulation. Similarly, receiving in-the-moment co-regulatory support was associated with a weakened link between within-person social connectedness and emotion regulation, which appeared to be driven by reports of co-rumination. Results indicate that social connectedness is associated with better emotion regulation among girls, particularly in interactions with peers and non-family compared to family, highlighting the value of social connection with peers and non-family members. However, co-rumination disrupts the benefits of social connectedness, suggesting social connectedness is not beneficial during maladaptive co-regulatory processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521921","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}

Drawing from a sample of 563 Black youth (250 boys; 313 girls), we used latent growth curve modeling to examine longitudinal change in youths' math self-concept from Grade 5 to Grades 7, 10, and 12, and tested the potential moderating role of youths' gender in developmental change. To advance understanding of developmental connections between students' self-concept and their racialized social group beliefs, we also examined associations between youths' math self-concept and their math Black-White stereotype endorsement. Results showed declines in math self-concept from Grades 5 to 7 to 12, with no gender differences in change across time. In Grade 7, higher math self-concept was associated with lower math stereotype endorsement. Further, a higher math self-concept in Grade 7 predicted steeper declines in stereotype endorsement through high school, and higher Grade 7 stereotype endorsement predicted steeper declines in subsequent math self-concept.
