Using six annual waves of data from multicultural adolescents in South Korea (<i>N</i> = 1635; 50.5% girls; ages 10–16), this study employed random-intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine within-person prospective associations among discrimination, life satisfaction, self-esteem, and perceived family, peer, and teacher support. Higher-than-usual life satisfaction predicted lower subsequent perceived discrimination across all five time-invariant models (<i>β</i>s = −.08 to −.05), whereas higher-than-usual discrimination predicted slightly lower subsequent life satisfaction (<i>β</i>s = −.04 to −.03). Discrimination did not uniquely predict subsequent self-esteem after life satisfaction was included, although a small negative discrimination-to-self-esteem association emerged when life satisfaction was excluded in the bivariate sensitivity model. When all three support sources were considered simultaneously, family support uniquely predicted higher subsequent life satisfaction and self-esteem (<i>β</i>s = .05 to .08), whereas the corresponding peer- and teacher-support pathways were nonsignificant. None of the three support sources predicted subsequent discrimination. Supplementary interval-specific estimates did not reveal a coherent developmental pattern.

The present study advances the field by using objective, naturalistic data to differentiate active phone use (time with keyboard input) from passive use (remaining foreground app time without keyboard input), testing within-person associations between mobile phone use and adolescents' morning affect and sleep. We applied multilevel models to 3192 daily observations of 40 Android-using adolescents (ages 15-20; 65% male) collected over a 90-day period using the Effortless Assessment Research System. Results indicated that when adolescents reported higher-than-usual morning negative affect, they engaged in greater passive use the same day; no associations were found with positive morning affect. Similarly, adolescents' daily fluctuations in active and passive mobile phone use did not predict sleep that night or next-morning affect.

Using time diary data from seven countries in the West, Asia, and Africa, we examine gender gaps in weekend leisure time across early and late adolescence (10-17 years). Universally, girls engage in less leisure than boys, driven by low engagement in sports/exercise, especially for girls in Asian countries. There is little evidence that more gender equal countries have smaller gender gaps. Girls and boys engage in gender-typical activities; boys engage in computer/internet use more, while girls engage more in conversation. Engagement in sports/exercise falls between early and late adolescence, and the gaps persist across ages in all countries except Belgium. Any narrowing in gender gaps across age is through boys lowering their engagement in sports/exercise or increasing it through conversation, with only a decline in leisure seen in girls.

In this sample of 2766 young adults (52% female, M_age = 22.3), controlling for a rich set of child and family characteristics, including prior mental health, we found that frequent sports participation in adolescence (33% of the sample), compared to none, was associated with substantially lower depression and anxiety symptoms among all adolescents. We also found that sustained sports participation in adolescence was associated with a lower likelihood of depression in young adulthood, but only for young adult males. Exploring heterogeneity in associations further by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, the strongest associations were found among young adult males who are non-Hispanic white and Latino, and from higher socioeconomic backgrounds.

Following procedures from the LCAS development study, the 40-item measure was translated and back-translated using established guidelines to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence. A total of 256 Spanish-speaking Latinx caregivers participated, representing 15 countries of origin; the largest groups were born in the United States (46%), Mexico (20%), Puerto Rico (12%), and Cuba (6%).

This study examined (a) which advisor-, GSA-, and school-related factors are associated with advisors' REISE, and (b) how this efficacy relates to youth members' socioemotional experiences. Data were collected from 627 GSA members at three time points and from 64 advisors at one time point from 51 GSAs in Massachusetts, New York City, and California. Advisors' REISE was associated with personal, advisor-related, contextual, GSA-related, and school-related factors, and with GSA youth members' reported school experiences. Advisors of color and those who felt more confident in supporting GSA members-particularly regarding 2SLGBTQ+ issues-reported higher REISE. Higher REISE was also observed in advisors of GSAs with a greater proportion of members of color, in schools offering culturally responsive curricula and race/ethnicity-focused events, and of GSAs characterized by open and inclusive climates. The extent to which advisors felt more efficacious was unrelated to how long they had served as a GSA advisor or to the frequency of GSA meetings. Moreover, random-intercept multilevel models showed that members with advisors who reported higher REISE perceived their GSAs and advisors to be more supportive at that same time point. Beyond the GSA itself, advisors' higher REISE also predicted higher positive affect and lower victimization among members, with these benefits lasting for several months.

Drawing on life-course perspectives, this study examines whether adolescent loneliness is associated with precarious employment in young adulthood and whether school and neighborhood attachment moderate this association. We used longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Adolescent loneliness was measured in Wave I, and precarious employment was assessed in young adulthood (Wave IV). To account for unobserved family-level confounding, we employed sibling fixed effects models that compare siblings within the same family. Interaction terms were used to examine the moderating roles of school and neighborhood attachment. Adolescent loneliness was positively associated with higher levels of precarious employment in young adulthood. This association persisted after sibling fixed effects adjustment, indicating that it is not fully accounted for by shared family background. Supplementary analyses showed stronger associations with dimensions related to job stability, access to benefits, and workplace control. School attachment significantly moderated the association: the loneliness-precarity association was attenuated among adolescents with higher school attachment. Neighborhood attachment did not exhibit a significant moderating pattern. These findings suggest that adolescent loneliness is associated with enduring differences in employment quality in young adulthood and identify schools as key institutional contexts in which this association is attenuated.
