While numerous studies examining the linear interaction between negative emotions and self-control on internalizing problems have produced inconsistent findings, emerging evidence indicates these two factors may exert nonlinear interaction effects on distinct trajectories of the problems. This study aimed to identify the developmental trajectories of adolescents' internalizing problems and employ polynomial regression and response surface analysis to explore the nonlinear interaction effects between negative emotions and self-control on these trajectories. A total of 639 students were recruited, and 619 valid participants were retained for three longitudinal assessments (M_age =14.03, SD_age = 0.37 at time 1; 47.2% female), using 1-year intervals in between. Results revealed three trajectories: low-decreasing (80.45%), moderate-increasing (14.86%), and high-decreasing (4.69%). The nonlinear interaction effects of negative emotions and self-control on internalizing problems were significant for adolescents within the low-decreasing and moderate-increasing trajectories, but not significant within the high-decreasing trajectory. Specifically, in the low-decreasing trajectory, an inverted U-shaped nonlinear effect was observed, with lower predicted internalizing problems at greater levels of incongruence, whether negative emotions or self-control was higher. In the moderate-increasing trajectory, a tentative U-shaped nonlinear effect emerged at the congruence level of negative emotions and self-control, with moderate levels of both negative emotions and self-control predicting lower internalizing problems. These findings indicate that the nonlinear interaction effects between negative emotions and self-control may vary across internalizing-problem trajectories in early adolescence, highlighting the importance of accounting for developmental heterogeneity when examining risk and protective factors for youth internalizing difficulties.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148990631","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}

Using three-wave longitudinal data from 806 Chinese parent-adolescent dyads (Adolescents: M_age = 13.92 years, SD = 0.66; 53% female; students in Grades 7-8), this study examined whether adolescents' failure-is-enhancing mindset mediated the associations between parents' process-oriented and person-oriented socialization and later school burnout, and whether these associations varied by adolescents' mastery-related characteristics. Results showed that person-oriented socialization predicted higher school burnout through a lower failure-is-enhancing mindset, whereas process-oriented socialization showed the opposite pattern. Cognitive persistence strengthened the positive effects of process-oriented socialization, whereas negative reactions to failure amplified the negative effects of person-oriented socialization.

Although moral grandstanding has been extensively examined in political and public health contexts, its relevance to educational settings remains understudied, especially in teacher-student interactions where teachers serve as moral authorities for children. The present research adapted the Perceived Teachers' Moral Grandstanding Scale and examined its longitudinal associations with students' socioemotional processes. In the first step, the Moral Grandstanding Motivation Scale was adapted to assess adolescents' perceptions of teachers' moral grandstanding in the Chinese cultural context. The validation sample consisted of 1,686 Chinese primary school students (M_age = 10.78 years, SD = 1.09; 43.59% male). In the second step, guided by Self-Discrepancy Theory, which suggests that distress can arise when individuals perceive a gap between how they see themselves and the standards they believe they should meet, a longitudinal study examined reciprocal associations among perceived teachers' moral grandstanding, self-esteem, and rumination. The longitudinal sample consisted of 811 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 9.93 years, SD = 0.98; 49.81% male) who completed a four-wave survey. Results indicated that the Perceived Teachers' Moral Grandstanding scale demonstrates good internal consistency, split-half reliability, structural validity, and discriminant validity relative to related constructs. In addition, the random intercept cross-lagged panel model revealed that perceived teachers' moral grandstanding and rumination were reciprocally predictive, with self-esteem serving as a mediator in this bidirectional relationship.
