However, prior research has examined these effects separately and has primarily focused on middle-to-late adolescence. It remains unclear how friends' NSSI relates to adolescents' NSSI under different social positions and how these effects differ across different age stages. This study examined both the independent and interactive effects of the number of friends engaging in NSSI, the number of claiming friends, and the extent of bridging different peer groups on adolescents' NSSI behaviors within classroom-based social networks. The sample included 9581 Chinese adolescents (44.6% girls, Mage = 13.72, SD = 1.87) from 221 classroom-based friendship networks, comprising 4248 early adolescents and 5333 middle-to-late adolescents. Social network analyses were used to extract network-related indicators, while general linear mixed models were employed to test the hypotheses. Results revealed that adolescents with more friends engaging in NSSI faced a higher risk of engaging in NSSI themselves; however, this risk decreased for adolescents with more claiming friends, irrespective of age. Adolescents who acted as bridges between different peer groups and had an above-average number of claiming friends were more likely to engage in NSSI, but this was only the case in early adolescence. These findings suggest NSSI can spread through friendship networks, with social connections influencing how likely adolescents are to be affected. Incorporating social network assessments into mental health screenings might facilitate early identification and prevention of NSSI among youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":"2035-2048"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772426","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 meta-analysis aimed to address this gap by estimating the magnitude of these risks compared to full-term infants. Searches were conducted in five databases: Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and PubMed. Fifty-six studies were identified, with symptoms assessed from childhood (0-9 years) through adolescence (10-18 years) and into adulthood. Findings showed that preterm infants and low-birth-weight infants as a whole are more likely to experience internalizing symptoms (such as anxiety or depression) and externalizing symptoms (such as impulsivity or aggression) than full-term infants, though this risk is neither uniform or absolute-the risk of internalizing symptoms among low-birth-weight infants is relatively modest. Additionally, there are several clear moderating factors influencing the intensity of these risks. Regionally, the association between both types of symptoms and preterm birth or low birth weight is most pronounced in European samples. In terms of developmental stages, internalizing behaviors are more prominent in adolescent populations, whereas the risk of externalizing symptoms is higher in children. Regarding the severity of preterm birth and low birth weight, the association between both symptoms and these conditions is strongest in samples of extremely preterm infants or those with extremely low birth weight. This study advances understanding of the risks of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in preterm or low-birth-weight infants across different developmental stages, while revealing the potential impacts of region, age, and the severity of risk factors in this context.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144748236","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}

However, there are still doubts about the supportive/unsupportive role of each strategy. This may be likely due to limitations of prior research that analyzed these strategies in isolation, without considering their interdependence. This study explored interactive patterns among parental strategies, clarifying which combinations were associated with fewer emotion regulation difficulties. Participants were 503 adolescents (60.8% female; Mage = 14.54; SDage = 1.17). Network and Expected Symptom Activity analyses indicated that reward and override strategies were associated with fewer emotion regulation difficulties, while punishment, neglect, and magnification were associated with greater difficulties. High reward (but not high override) mitigated emotion regulation difficulties unless alongside high neglect or two unsupportive strategies. Override helped buffered neglect's negative effects when combined with high reward. High values in all strategies were associated with more emotion regulation difficulties, while low values with fewer. These results emphasize the interactive nature of parental emotional responses during adolescence, suggesting that no strategy is inherently adaptive or maladaptive-it depends on the context of co-occurring parental behaviors. The findings also support the \"good enough\" parenting perspective, showing that positive and negative behaviors can coexist and still be associated with fewer difficulties in emotion regulation. In this context, neglect appears to be more detrimental than other emotion socialization strategies.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144748237","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 conducted a meta-analysis of existing longitudinal evidence to explore the bidirectional relationships between empathy and bullying perpetration/victimization and investigate the moderation effects of demographic and design factors to identify sources of study heterogeneity. Through searches of four global databases and four Chinese databases, followed by title/abstract screening and application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, the present meta-analysis included 23 studies with a total of 21296 participants (52.6% female; Mage = 13.2 years). Results indicated that empathy negatively predicted subsequent bullying perpetration, and bullying perpetration negatively predicted subsequent empathy. However, results failed to demonstrate either the predictive effect of empathy on bullying victimization or that of bullying victimization on empathy. Further analysis showed that the relationship between earlier experiences of bullying victimization and subsequent levels of empathy demonstrated a greater effect size in females. Compared to longer time lags, the predictive effect of empathy on bullying victimization was stronger in shorter time lags. A stronger correlation was found between earlier bullying perpetration and later empathy when using the Basic Empathy Scale to measure empathy. Overall, these findings clarify the specific reciprocal processes between empathy and bullying perpetration and illustrate the importance of accounting for demographic and methodological factors, thus guiding more targeted research and interventions in the field of bullying among youth.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684323","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}

However, research has not investigated how adolescents experience and respond to such warnings. Drawing on research on the benefits of parents' demonstration of the merit of their values in their behavior (inherent value demonstration), this study examined the potential role of inherent value demonstration as a moderator of youth responses to warnings. Participants were 105 Israeli adolescents (Mage = 14.87 years, SD = 1.52, 57.1% female) who completed an individualized survey asking them to indicate which of 29 problem behaviors they had engaged in during the last month. The survey then selected the most serious problem behavior youth engaged in, and asked them to rate two parental reactions - warnings and perspective-taking - to the onset of this behavior, their experiences and responses following parents' reactions, problem behavior recurrence, and parents' general inclination to demonstrate their values in their behavior. As hypothesized, and with youth problem behavior characteristics and parents' perspective-taking controlled, youth were more likely to experience their parents' warnings as need-frustrating and respond defiantly when they perceived their parents as failing to demonstrate their values in their behavior. Additionally, inherent value demonstration was positively associated with perception of parents' reactions as need supporting and negatively related to perception of parents reactions as need thwarting and defiance. These findings suggest that parents' inherent value demonstration may function as a protective factor that enables youth to experience their parents' warnings less negatively.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144639949","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}

Structural equation modeling examined simultaneous paths from fathers' and mothers' cultural orientations to adolescents' GPAs four years later, through fathers' and mothers' acculturative stress, fathers' and mothers' supportive parenting behaviors, and combined parent-adolescent alienation. Cultural orientation, stress, parenting, and alienation were assessed through parent-report and adolescent-report measures, whereas GPA was taken from school transcripts. Wald's tests examined differences between mother-adolescent and father-adolescent processes.
