Participants were 1215 adolescents (47% boys, Mage = 14.26, SDage = 1.87) recruited from a Midwestern city in the United States. Multilevel modeling was conducted. The results indicated a positive association between child maltreatment and disordered activity spaces, with no significant moderation by residential neighborhood-level disorder.

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}

Additionally, a better understanding Healthy Context Paradox mechanism requires assessing nonlinear effects of individual and classroom victimization on adolescents' internalizing problems. This study collected longitudinal data from 1029 adolescents over a 20-month period (Time 1: N = 1358, 49.5% girls, Mage ± SD = 12.38 ± 0.53; Time 2: N = 1029, 54.3% girls, Mage ± SD = 12.37 ± 0.49). Polynomial regression and multilevel average response surface analysis showed a linear effect, with higher level in individual and classroom victimization predicted worse outcomes. Moderated response surface analysis revealed that at low resilience level, greater incongruence between individual and classroom victimization predicted more internalizing problems, but this association became non-significant at high resilience level. These findings extended the Healthy Context Paradox and inform interventions to mitigate negative psychological outcomes among victims in seemingly healthy environments.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144320000","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}

Current detection methods primarily rely on self-reports, which may be subjective and yield inaccurate results. The widely used implicit tool was not designed for NSSI and has certain limitations. Furthermore, few studies in China have employed implicit test to assess NSSI among non-clinical adolescents. Although individual characteristics (e.g., psychological flexibility) and microsystem factors (e.g., school climate) have well-established associations with self-reported NSSI, their influence on implicit NSSI remains unclear. To address these gaps, this study employed a novel implicit measure specifically developed for NSSI to distinguish Chinese adolescents with and without NSSI and to examine its predictive validity for future NSSI behavior. Additionally, the study analyzed the effects of psychological flexibility and school climate on implicit NSSI. In this longitudinal study, 502 adolescents (55.5% female; mean age = 14.25 years, SD = 1.65) completed the implicit NSSI test and self-report measures at baseline. Six months later, 399 adolescents (56.7% female; mean age = 14.25 years, SD = 1.61) from baseline completed follow-up self-report measures. Results indicated that adolescents with NSSI had significantly higher implicit NSSI scores than those without NSSI; however, the implicit NSSI did not significantly predict future NSSI. Regression analyses revealed significant negative effects of psychological flexibility and school climate on implicit NSSI. Network analysis showed that implicit NSSI was most strongly associated with baseline self-reported NSSI, followed by school bullying, while no significant associations were found with the subdimensions of psychological flexibility. Student-student relationships emerged as the strongest node in the network, followed by self-reported NSSI and defusion. These findings suggest that both implicit and self-reported measures should be considered for early detection of NSSI. Implicit NSSI representing a distinct construct from self-reported NSSI, may be effectively reduced by improving school climate and psychological flexibility. By integrating implicit and self-reported NSSI, this study provides new insights for understanding, preventing, and intervening NSSI in school settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144225800","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}

Examining its etiological sources and evolving pathways helps inform strategies to mitigate adolescents' risk-taking behavior. Studies have found that unfavorable environmental factors, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), are associated with momentary levels of risk-taking in adolescents, but little is known about whether ACEs shape the developmental trajectory of risk-taking. Even less research has investigated the underlying mechanisms. Drawing on the self-regulation theory, this study examined the associations between ACEs and the developmental trajectory of adolescent risk-taking. Moreover, it also explored self-control as a mediator and genetic variations as a moderator from a \"gene × environment\" approach. Participants were 564 Chinese adolescents (48.40% males, M_age = 14.20 years, SD = 1.52). Adolescents reported their ACEs and self-control at T1 and risk-taking three times, with a six-month interval between each time point. Adolescents' saliva was collected at T1 for genetic extraction, and polygenetic index was created based on the gene-by-environment interaction between SNPs and ACEs for self-control via the leave-one-out machine learning approach. Findings of latent growth modeling revealed that adolescents' risk-taking decreased over time. ACEs were directly and indirectly through self-control associated with high initial levels of, and a rapid decrease in, risk-taking, especially for those with a higher polygenetic index compared to those with a lower polygenetic index. Theoretically, these results suggest a tripartite model of adolescent risk-taking, such that risk-taking is the combined function of adverse experiences in early years, low self-control, and carriage of sensitive genes.
