A total of 1087 Chinese early adolescents (48.7% girls; M_age = 11.35 ± 0.49 years at Time 1) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study with about four-month assessment intervals. The random-intercept cross-lagged panel model indicated that, at the within-person level, social mindfulness and prosocial behavior positively predicted each other over time. Furthermore, fluctuations in social mindfulness were found to negatively predict changes in aggressive behavior at subsequent time points, but the reverse was not true, suggesting a unidirectional influence. A similar pattern was found between social mindfulness and reactive aggressive behavior, but no significant bidirectional effects emerged between social mindfulness and proactive aggressive behavior. These findings highlight the role of social mindfulness in shaping early adolescents' social behavior over time, thus providing insights for more targeted and effective interventions to foster prosocial behavior and prevent aggressive behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143408759","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}

This study systematically examines the association between academic stress and problematic Internet use in adolescents, using a three-level meta-analysis. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, it conducted a comprehensive database search including 49 studies, with 166 effect sizes and 189,483 adolescents. The results indicate a positive correlation between academic stress and problematic Internet use in adolescents. Additionally, moderation analysis revealed that both sources of academic stress and academic stress measurement tools significantly moderated the association. The association between mixed academic stress (intrapsychic and external stressors) and problematic Internet use was significantly stronger than that between external academic stress and problematic Internet use. The association was weaker when using the Academic Expectations Stress Inventory than other scales. These findings highlight that problematic Internet use is often an maladaptive coping strategy for adolescents under academic stress, and this behavior does not vary with the specific use of the Internet. However, it also suggests that under certain cultural contexts, external academic stress can be transformed into motivation for learning. This study deepens our understanding of how academic stress influences adolescent Internet use and underscores the need for improved measurement tools to capture the complexity of academic stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143371517","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}

Multilevel analyses revealed that a discriminatory climate was negatively related to all three indicators of school adjustment (i.e., reading comprehension, reading motivation, and school belonging). Adolescents who perceived a stronger discriminatory climate experienced lessons as less structured and more disruptive, highlighting the mediating role of classroom management in the relationship between discriminatory climate and adolescents’ school adjustment.

This 5-wave longitudinal study explored the effects of parent‒child separation, communication and their interactions on the trajectory of depressive symptoms in adolescents.

The results revealed that adolescents' depressive symptoms increased and the rate of increase gradually slowed throughout junior high school. Separation from both parents was associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms but did not influence changes in adolescents' depressive symptoms over time, and separation from father did not influence the trajectory of adolescents' depressive symptoms. Parent-child communication was negatively associated with the levels of depressive symptoms. Separation from both parents was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms among girls with a lower level of father‒child communication but not among girls with a higher level of father‒child communication.
