Despite extensive focus on their bright side—social support—less attention is paid to their dark side—social strain—especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged young adults in high-stress conditions. This study examined how support and strain from parents, friends, and romantic partners contribute to youth well-being, in a Canadian sample of 384 young adults in their early 20s. Participants were on average 20.3 years old (<i>SD</i> = 0.9), evenly split by gender (50% women), 49% without a high school diploma, and 32% with an immigrant parent. Latent class analysis revealed four profiles, splitting the sample roughly in halves. A first half of youth were in two profiles characterized by supportive, strain-free relationships: (1) <i>Wrap-Around Support</i> (high support, low strain from all sources; 16%) and (2) <i>Supported Singles</i> (high support, low strain but not in couple; 30%) profiles. A second half experienced one or more straining relationships and belonged to either (3) <i>Double-Edged</i> (straining parents and partner, but also supportive partner; 24%) or (4) <i>Isolated</i> (straining parents and low support; 30%). Profile comparisons showed that young adults in the Wrap-Around Support profile enjoyed the highest level of well-being, followed by Supported Singles, with the two subgroups in straining relationships showing no differences. A moderation analysis revealed a reverse buffering effect: Stressors weakened the benefits of social support. The results suggest that the “bad” side of relationships can weigh down their “good” side, and that alleviating the burdens of social and other life stressors is as important as strengthening social support for young people to thrive.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831868","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}

Yet to date, most research has focused on how bullying can be prevented, rather than how it should be intervened upon. To address this gap, the current study compared the short- and longer-term development of victimization of students whose bullies were enrolled in a targeted intervention, and compared three approaches taken in such interventions when talking to perpetrators: (1) promoting empathy for victims among bullies, (2) explicitly condemning bullying behaviors, and (3) a combination of these approaches. The sample consisted of <i>n</i> = 274 victims from primary and secondary schools (56.6% female, Mage = 11.95, SD = 1.89). School personnel used a mobile application <i>KiVappi to</i> document the steps they took when implementing targeted interventions on bullying perpetrators of these victims (including a follow up meeting in which victims were asked about the short-term effectiveness of the intervention). Most cases were handled with an empathy-raising approach (<i>n</i> = 117), followed by the condemning (<i>n</i> = 113) and combined (<i>n</i> = 44) approach. Targeted intervention data was matched to survey data collected to examine longer-term changes in self-reported victimization. The results indicate that the success rates of targeted interventions on the short-term were promising: 88.2% of the victims indicated that the victimization had decreased or ceased, and the combined approach seemed to be the “best bet”. In the longer term, victims whose bullies were enrolled in a targeted intervention were equally stable in self-reported victimization as the control group - irrespective of the approach taken in the targeted intervention. Thus, despite potential short-term successes, targeted interventions may not be enough to help victims of bullying escape their plight in the longer term.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831871","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}

Addressing the limitations of past research, which included the use of only two data waves and analyses that do not account for within-person variance, the aim in this study was to examine the temporal ordering of non-suicidal self-injury and depressive symptoms during adolescence. Two independent samples were examined. One sample (first used by Marshall et al., 2013) consisted of 799 Swedish adolescents (11 to 15 years, <i>M</i>_<i>age</i> = 13.18, <i>SD</i> = 0.74; 51% girls).

Analyses were two-part cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) and random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs) to account for the semi-continuous distribution of NSSI and to determine if traditional lagged models were adequate for estimating within-person temporal ties. The results suggest that traditional CLPMs had inadequate fits to data. RI-CLPMs showed significant within-person, transactional associations between depressive symptoms and NSSI. Specifically, NSSI at a mean age around 13 years was associated with increases in depressive symptoms one year later, which were in turn associated with increases in NSSI when the average age was about 15 years old. Subsequently, lags suggested the potential for maintenance of comorbid distress. These results suggest that efforts to reduce depression and NSSI during adolescence need to begin in early adolescence, with a focus on adaptive responses to distressing emotional experiences.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827660","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}
