This study investigates how extracurricular clubs in high schools function as third spaces for learning about social justice issues and engaging in collective action. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we analyzed twelve discussion groups with 63 high school students involved in extracurricular clubs. Findings suggest that club participation fosters critical engagement, activism-related knowledge and skills, and a justice-oriented approach to local and global issues, with promise for enhanced global citizenship. However, specific conditions influence youth interest, retention, and action. Implications highlight the need for educational institutions to support third-space opportunities for youth activism.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jora.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144108784","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}

Less RSA suppression while thinking about experiences of disappointment was positively associated with adolescents' prosocial engagement, whereas greater RSA suppression while experiences talking about disappointment was positively associated with both affective empathy and prosocial engagement.

Characterizing these processes is key to understanding how and when different factors may contribute to psychopathology. Participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (<i>n</i> = 11,823) were 9–10 years old at baseline and 12–13 years old at the three-year follow-up. At each time point, internalizing symptoms (INT) and externalizing symptoms (EXT), family features (e.g., conflict, parental monitoring, acceptance, and financial hardship), neighborhood safety, and school supportiveness were assessed. Fixed effect regression models were estimated separately for male and female youth to examine the age-varying, within-individual associations between symptoms and family, neighborhood, and school factors. INT and EXT significantly decreased among male adolescents over time, while female adolescents exhibited increases in INT and decreases in EXT. Family conflict, financial hardship, neighborhood safety, and school support predicted INT and EXT, with some variation by sex (e.g., neighborhood safety only predicted INT and EXT for male adolescents). Many of these associations were consistent over time. However, for male adolescents, the association between financial hardship and EXT weakened over time, while the family conflict and EXT association strengthened.

This data source is unique in that it allowed for strategic comparisons among three subpopulations: cisgender sexual minority youth (CSMY), youth with both sexual and gender minority identifications (SMGMY), and heterosexual gender minority youth (HGMY). Accordingly, this study examined the measurement invariance of a sexual minority (SM) outness measure to assess if the same latent constructs are measured when it is completed by CSMY and SMGMY (i.e., sexual identity outness), as well as a gender minority (GM) outness measure when completed by HGMY and SMGMY (i.e., gender identity outness). Factor analysis results reveal that the measure accurately assesses gender and sexual identity outness. Measurement invariance results confirm that comparisons can be made between CSMY and SMGMY as well as between HGMY and SMGMY.

The present study utilized a network analysis approach to address these gaps. One hundred sixteen youths (ages 9–17) completed daily diaries every evening for 28 days (Nassessments = 3004) reporting their emotions and disordered eating behaviors and cognitions during a population-level stressor. We fitted a network for each of the 4 weeks to investigate the stability of the associations among shame, guilt, pride, and disordered eating across time. Specific self-conscious emotions clustered with different groups of disordered eating: pride was associated with restrictive eating, shame was uniquely associated with weight concerns, and guilt was more associated with binge-eating-related disordered eating.
