Using a large racially/ethnically diverse sample (N = 4,576; Mage = 11.33 years at T1; 51% female; 41% Latinx, 26% White, 17% East/Southeast Asian, 16% African American/Black), findings from multivariate latent growth curve models indicated that friendship homophily and identity commitment trajectories were closely linked. Additionally, baseline homophily predicted greater identity commitment over time for racial/ethnic minoritized youth, but not White youth. In contrast, longitudinal associations between friendship homophily and intergroup bias were weak. Baseline friendship homophily did not predict intergroup bias trajectories; however, baseline levels of intergroup bias predicted increased homophily for racial/ethnic minoritized youth. Findings indicated that for racial/ethnic minoritized early adolescents, the development of friendship homophily is more closely linked to identity commitment than intergroup bias.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Does Expressive Suppression Precede Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence?","authors":"Megan S Wylie,Tyler Colasante,Kalee De France,Tom Hollenstein","doi":"10.1007/s10964-025-02208-6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10964-025-02208-6","url":null,"abstract":"The association between expressive suppression and depressive symptoms in adolescence has led to claims that expressive suppression precedes depressive symptoms. This widespread assumption has been applied to practical applications, as some therapeutic interventions target reducing expressive suppression use to improve depressive symptoms. However, longitudinal studies suggest that depressive symptoms precede expressive suppression, indicating that reducing expressive suppression is not a worthwhile target for intervention. Unfortunately, these studies used models that conflated between- and within-person processes, leaving a gap in our understanding about these processes at the within-person level. Establishing these within-person processes will determine whether the expressive suppression-depressive symptom association is the result of select individuals scoring higher or lower on these traits (between-person) or a pattern of directional effects regardless of mean score (within-person). The present study fills this gap by revealing within-person effects through Random-Intercepts Cross-Lagged Panel Modeling. Participants of the current study were typically developing adolescents (N = 187, 46.6% girls, 48.2% boys, 0.5% non-binary) 13-15 years old (Mage = 13.9, SD = 0.91). Every six months for three years, participants reported their expressive suppression and depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms predicted increases in expressive suppression more often than expressive suppression predicted depressive symptoms. Additionally, depressive symptoms predicted expressive suppression consistently for boys, and less consistently for girls. Results challenge pervasive claims that expressive suppression use is a vulnerability for the development of depressive symptoms, and instead suggest that emotional challenges of depressive symptoms (including more intense, frequent, or enduring negative emotions) may elicit greater expressive suppression use.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 554 students (Mage = 10.56 ± 0.84 years at T1; 41.7% girls) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study conducted at approximately six-month intervals.

The present study used cross-lagged modeling to meta-analyze the available longitudinal data (27 studies with 27 effects involving 57,074 participants, mean age ranging from 11.23 to 17.4 years) on the relationship between school connectedness and depressive symptoms in adolescence, and the possible moderating effects of publication and study characteristics. With prior levels of the relevant outcomes controlled for, results showed that prior school connectedness negatively predicted subsequent depressive symptoms with β = -0.07, 95% CI [-0.12, -0.02], while prior depressive symptoms also negatively predicted subsequent school connectedness with β = -0.14, 95% CI [-0.19, -0.08]. Moderation analyses showed that there was a moderating effect of publication year, study quality in the protective effect of school connectedness on depressive symptoms and a moderating effect of publication year, study quality, and culture in the debilitating effect of depressive symptoms on school connectedness. As the publication year became more recent, the effect of school connectedness on depressive symptoms decreased, and the effect of depressive symptoms on school connectedness decreased. As study quality increased, the effect of school connectedness on depressive symptoms decreased, and the effect of depressive symptoms on school connectedness decreased. As the individualism index increased, the effect of depressive symptoms on school connectedness increased.

However, within-person increases in self- or other-oriented social media use did not predict future within-person changes in cyberbullying victimization.

However, much of the existing research has relied on cross-sectional data and between-person analyses, limiting our understanding of how social support functions within individuals over time. This limitation is particularly consequential for South Korean multicultural adolescents-a growing and vulnerable population that includes children of international marriages, immigrants, and foreign nationals. Given their increasing numbers and elevated risk for psychosocial challenges, identifying the factors that support their well-being is both a research imperative and a social justice concern. The present study used the random intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine the within-person effects of perceived social support from family, teachers, and peers on South Korean multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction. This study employed three waves of longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of South Korean multicultural adolescents (N = 1,635; 48.7% girls; Mage = 9.97 years, SD = 0.37; followed from Grade 4 to Grade 6). Random intercept cross-lagged panel models were employed to disentangle between-person and within-person associations. At the between-person level, higher perceived support from all sources was associated with greater life satisfaction. At the within-person level, only perceived family support positively predicted subsequent life satisfaction, while teacher and peer support did not show significant effects. These findings were consistent across all time points. Overall, the results highlight the unique and dynamic role of family support in shaping multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction and underscore the importance of distinguishing between different sources and levels of social support in developmental research.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144320219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
