It is also unclear whether these processes differ by gender.This study employed a four-wave random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to examine the bidirectional dynamic relationships among depressive symptoms, peer attachment, and negative automatic thinking in Chinese children, along with gender differences.

At the within-person level, bidirectional relationships were found between depressive symptoms and negative automatic thinking, as well as between peer attachment and depressive symptoms. Additionally, peer attachment had a unidirectional predictive effect on negative automatic thinking. Furthermore, a predictive effect of negative automatic thinking on peer attachment was found only in the male model.

The sample included 627 Latino adolescents (95% U.S.-born; 57% girls; 33% 9th graders, 27% 10th graders, 23% 11th graders, 18% 12th graders). Specifically, configurations of cultural wealth were analyzed based on the following dimensions: familial ethnic socialization, ethnic-racial identity components, and emotional support from Latino and non-Latino friendship networks. Research questions also included testing whether profiles characterized by greater cultural wealth exhibited better academic adjustment (i.e., emotional and behavioral academic adjustment, academic self-efficacy, and school belonging), and whether the association between ethnoracial discrimination and academic adjustment was moderated by profile membership. Findings revealed four profiles, with the largest (38%) consisting of adolescents with high cultural wealth (i.e., Achieved, High FES, High Friend Support). Furthermore, this profile exhibited better academic adjustment relative to the profiles that varied in levels of cultural wealth. When examining whether profiles with more cultural wealth also demonstrated better academic adjustment in the face of ethnoracial discrimination, findings revealed that a subgroup with more moderate cultural wealth (Moratorium, Moderate FES, High Friend Support) was more vulnerable to discrimination for most indicators of adjustment compared to all other profiles. Overall, findings extend previous variable-centered work by showing that Latino adolescents have heterogeneous experiences with cultural wealth, and examining these subgroups of adolescents provides novel insights into understanding how cultural wealth differently relates to adolescents’ academic adjustment, including in the context of ethnoracial discrimination.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":"1472-1488"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13263244/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146227163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These limitations risk inflating associations through shared methods variance and invite misinterpretation of cross-sectional links as developmental processes. Data were drawn from two birth cohorts from Trondheim, Norway, followed across six biennial waves from ages 10 to 20 (n = 979, 52.20% girls). Adolescents' frequency of checking social media, social media activity, and social media screen time were assessed using interviews and objective measures. Parents' frequency of checking social media and problematic social media use were assessed using questionnaires. Adolescents reported on their closeness and conflicts with their parents. Attachment was measured by self-report and observation of parent-child interaction, while family functioning was assessed by both adolescent- and parent-report. Using random intercept cross-lagged panel modelling, no evidence was found for either between-family associations or within-family prospective links between adolescents' and parents' social media use and poorer quality of family relationships, family functioning, or attachment.

Latent profile analyses at each wave identified three engagement profiles: low, moderate, and high.

Moreover, growth mindset was a significant predictor of both engagement profile membership at each wave and transitions between profiles over time. Specifically, students with a stronger growth mindset were more likely to belong to higher engagement profiles at all three time points, and growth mindset measured at time n (T_n) predicted a greater likelihood of transitioning toward the high engagement profile rather than moving downward from T_n to T_n+1.

To address these gaps, this study examined dual social-network mechanisms, digital socialization, and social self-efficacy in the spread of pro-environmental volunteering during the first year at university. Data came from 1,151 first-year students (M age = 17.91, SD = 0.78; 51.9% female) nested in complete friendship networks across six Chinese universities and surveyed twice over six months. Longitudinal stochastic actor-oriented models were used to disentangle homophilous selection from peer influence, and regression-based mediation and moderation analyses tested social self-efficacy as a psychological pathway and social media usage as a contextual moderator. Peer influence on pro-environmental volunteering was substantially stronger than homophilous selection (influence–selection ratio = 2.64, 95% CI [1.82, 3.91]), indicating that behavior spread primarily through post-relationship socialization rather than friendship choice. Social media usage did not significantly alter the tendency to befriend behaviorally similar peers, but higher overall usage selectively amplified peer influence, with significant effects emerging only above moderate usage levels. Social self-efficacy partially mediated the longitudinal association between peers’ volunteering and individual volunteering, accounting for 54% of the total effect.
