Peer victimization (verbal, physical, relational, and cyber) and internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety) were analyzed using undirected and Bayesian network models to identify core and bridging symptoms. In the undirected network, both genders shared important nodes, including \"public mocking,\" \"threats intimidation,\" and \"often fearful,\" while \"online harassment\" was distinctive for females and \"social isolated\" for males. \"Feel unloved\" emerged as the key bridging node linking internalizing symptoms and peer victimization among females, whereas \"fear of doing bad\" served this bridging role among males. Directed acyclic graph from the Bayesian network indicated that internalizing symptoms and victimization symptoms formed a single top-down cluster among females, whereas these symptoms formed two parallel clusters among males.

Further, we examined whether adolescents who contribute to their families in more ways differ in mental health from peers, controlling for social and economic resources, and with attention to potential demographic moderators. We drew from a diverse survey of 1854 adolescents ages 14-17 in Massachusetts (60% girls, 52% White non-Hispanic, 19% Hispanic, 9% Black, 6% Asian). Adolescents who contributed to their families in relatively more ways were disproportionately older, girls, and Hispanic, and from families with relatively lower levels of social and economic resources. Contributing to the family in more ways was associated with significantly higher levels of distress (i.e., anxiety and depression symptoms), controlling for background demographics. This association was consistent across age, gender, and racial/ethnic groups. It was also significant for youth from homes within all levels of social and economic resources, although it was stronger among youth from homes with relatively higher (compared to lower) levels of social and economic resources. These findings suggest that contributing to the family in many ways could be emotionally taxing over time, even though prior daily diary studies show it can also be rewarding day to day. Perhaps surprisingly, it may be especially taxing for adolescents from more advantaged homes who are less likely to help the family overall. More long-term, within-subject studies are needed to adjust for numerous co-occurring family circumstances and resources that may confound our findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"36 1","pages":"e70165"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147443964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the day-to-day associations between greenspace exposure (the amount of time spent) and mood remain unclear, particularly regarding the moderating role of greenspace attributes. This study examines the day-to-day associations between greenspace exposure and preadolescent children's mood (including happiness, anxiety, and depression) and explores how greenspace attributes (including environmental quality and safety) moderate these associations using a daily diary approach. Data were collected from 508 preadolescent children (234 boys; M_age = 10.52 years, SD = 1.17), who completed a 14-day diary on their greenspace exposure and mood. The results revealed that on days when children spent more time in greenspace, they reported greater happiness on the same day, but not the following day. Although no direct associations were found between time spent in greenspace and anxiety or depression either on the same day or the next day, environmental quality moderated same-day associations among urban children, but not rural children. Specifically, urban children exposed to higher quality greenspace reported fewer anxiety and depression symptoms with increased exposure, while for those exposed to lower quality greenspace, more time spent in greenspace was associated with greater anxiety and depression. These findings underscore the importance of daily greenspace exposure for enhancing preadolescent children's happiness and emphasize the need for higher quality greenspace to alleviate anxiety and depression.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"36 1","pages":"e70163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147306901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Longitudinal analyses showed that only hate speech among friends predicted aggression, with small effects.

Furthermore, a bidirectional relationship was observed between bystander intentions and aggressive behaviors with small to moderate effects. Finally, the model was invariant across gender.

A sample of 122 adolescents (15-19 years; M = 17.01, SD = 1.42) reported their end-of-day subjective well-being and the use of eight cognitive reappraisal strategies for the day's most unpleasant and most pleasant events.
