These are aspects of social support. Feeling sufficiently supported and cared for is important for wellness and mental health across adolescent and emerging adult development. Further, social support is valuable for wellness across both “mundane” periods of daily life as well as during times of turmoil and uncertainty. Guided by multiple frameworks on social motivation, social cognition, and ecological frameworks of development, we aimed to replicate and expand insights about social support, wellness, and mental health for adolescents and emerging adults, studying people living through periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. We studied reports of social support, coping and distress, and mental health concerns (i.e., depression and anxiety) from middle and high school age adolescents, as well as college-going emerging adults recruited during periods of COVID quarantine and following returns to in-person activities in the United States. Across eight samples, social support showed positive relations with coping strategies and negative relations with depressive and anxious problems. These findings were relevant for both adolescents and emerging adults; supported across multiple time points; involved support from family, friends, and other peers; and were sustained during periods of quarantine and the return to face-to-face daily activities. Our work both replicates and extends insights on the essential needs of feeling supported by close others for wellness and mental health and underscores the value of investing in additional infrastructure that can foster social support across multiple relationship domains (i.e., improving family relations and building spaces for peer and friend engagement in schools).</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120281","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}

Drawing from four systematic literature reviews, the commentary highlights key findings, such as the long-term effects of COVID-19 on adolescent development, mental health, and academic well-being. The need for future research is emphasized to assess how these cohort effects will evolve over time. Cultural context and socioeconomic disparities emerge as crucial considerations, with the pandemic exacerbating existing inequalities, especially in access to education and digital resources. This commentary also underscores the importance of adopting a socio-ecological perspective to understand the multifaceted impact of COVID-19 on adolescents globally. In conclusion, it calls for targeted policies to support adolescents' mental health and academic recovery post-pandemic, particularly in underserved communities. Governments, educators, and civic organizations are encouraged to create inclusive policies that address these disparities while fostering resilience and well-being among young people.

Although research has documented their motives for working and some characteristics of their employment, knowledge about how these youth construct their work in the fields and how such experiences relate to their positive development is needed to depict their holistic experiences. Using mixed methods, we explored youth's farmwork experiences and examined how these experiences relate to youth's prosocial behaviors, civic responsibility, and ego-resiliency. Data are from a mixed-method study of Latine youth and parents in rural and agricultural families in the U.S. Midwest. The present study uses qualitative data from a subsample of 47 youth (<i>Mage</i> = 11.42, 48.8% boys) who participated in interviews and survey activities. Thematic coding of the interviews revealed sociocognitive, socioemotional, skilled-related, and physical experiences, as well as prosocial considerations that included perspective taking, moral reasoning, and empathetic concern. Integrating qualitative and quantitative data showed that these experiences were distinctively associated with higher other-oriented and lower self-oriented prosocial behaviors and higher ego-resiliency. Further, farmworker youth also showed significantly lower civic efficacy, indicating that farmwork may discourage some aspects of civic responsibility. The results can inform policy and program designs on promoting Latine youth's positive development in the face of adversity, such as by highlighting character development and bridging youth engagement with civic spheres.</p>","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11682871/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142903356","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}

Participants were Black adolescents 12 to 17 years of age (<i>M</i>age = 15.09, <i>SD</i> = 1.36) and their caregivers. Findings indicated that adolescents' racial discrimination experiences and adverse childhood experiences were associated with less internal assets, less external assets, and greater depressive symptoms. Preparation for bias was a protective moderator in two associations, such that at low levels of preparation for bias, racial discrimination predicted less external assets, but this relation became non-significant at high levels of preparation for bias. Similarly, at low levels of preparation for bias, adverse childhood experiences predicted greater depressive symptoms, but this relation became non-significant at high levels of preparation for bias. Caregivers' cultural socialization was also protective in that at low levels of cultural socialization, adverse childhood experiences predicted less internal developmental assets, but this relation became non-significant at high levels of cultural socialization. Adverse childhood experiences and racial discrimination contribute to poorer outcomes, but caregivers' efforts to teach their children about their race, ethnicity, and culture are protective in some of these associations.

I focus on the sudden feelings of isolation the pandemic caused, and how those impacted my daily life and mental health. Additionally, I expand on the long-term effects of the pandemic that we still see today, and how legislation and discussions regarding these topics could benefit the youth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COVID-19 had a profound impact on my high school experience. As someone who graduated in 2021, the pandemic mostly affected my junior and senior year of high school, so I was 18 at the time. Toward the end of my junior year is when everything started to shut down; I remember getting a notification in March that our spring break was extended for another 2 weeks. At first, I was super happy about this, and the sentiment was the same among my peers. Then more and more news stories started coming out about how severe the pandemic was and how it was not safe to reopen, and eventually our school told us that we would not be coming back in-person for the remainder of the year. All my classes were moved to Google Classroom, and all we had to do was prepare for advanced placement exams and complete some assignments here and there. They even told us that our final grades would not be any lower than the ones we had prior to spring break as a curtesy. I was ecstatic at the time as it felt like my summer had started early. However, everything got boring very quickly as we were not allowed to leave the house unless it was for something necessary, like going to the grocery store. I missed seeing my friends and being able to interact with people outside of my immediate family. My friends and I would use applications like Netflix Party in order to still do things together virtually, although the whole summer left me feeling very isolated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result of the pandemic, my senior year was far from traditional. Everyone would tell you that senior year was going to be the best year of high school, but it was by far the worst. We started with everything still being online, and I found that my peers and I struggled to stay motivated. The lack of structure and routine took a toll on me, and I turned in many assignments late, which is something I had never done in the past. It got to a point where it was so normal to turn things in months after the deadline that my teachers had to start being stricter about it, although it was hard to enforce as the school did not want to act against people's grades. My high school eventually adopted the hybrid format, where you could go in-person 2 days a week. These days were assigned in order to not have too many people in the building at once. I opted into this format as I was so desperate to have any kind of social interaction that was not through a computer screen, even though a year ago I would have jumped at the chance of being able to s","PeriodicalId":17026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Adolescence","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11758758/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142813562","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}
