Although numerous studies suggest that social media use predicts cyberbullying victimization, methodological shortcomings limit their ability to infer the etiological role of social media use in cyberbullying victimization at the individual level-an issue this study addresses. A sample from two birth cohorts of children (n = 781, 53.4% girls) in Trondheim, Norway, was assessed biennially through interviews and questionnaires from age 12 to 18. Social media use and cyberbullying were related at the between-person level (i.e., those who use social media more than others were more likely to experience cyberbullying than others). However, within-person increases in self- or other-oriented social media use did not predict future within-person changes in cyberbullying victimization. The vast majority of former studies, which have not explored within-person changes, may have overestimated and overinterpreted the role of social media use in cyberbullying victimization.

However, much of the existing research has relied on cross-sectional data and between-person analyses, limiting our understanding of how social support functions within individuals over time. This limitation is particularly consequential for South Korean multicultural adolescents-a growing and vulnerable population that includes children of international marriages, immigrants, and foreign nationals. Given their increasing numbers and elevated risk for psychosocial challenges, identifying the factors that support their well-being is both a research imperative and a social justice concern. The present study used the random intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine the within-person effects of perceived social support from family, teachers, and peers on South Korean multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction. This study employed three waves of longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of South Korean multicultural adolescents (N = 1,635; 48.7% girls; Mage = 9.97 years, SD = 0.37; followed from Grade 4 to Grade 6). Random intercept cross-lagged panel models were employed to disentangle between-person and within-person associations. At the between-person level, higher perceived support from all sources was associated with greater life satisfaction. At the within-person level, only perceived family support positively predicted subsequent life satisfaction, while teacher and peer support did not show significant effects. These findings were consistent across all time points. Overall, the results highlight the unique and dynamic role of family support in shaping multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction and underscore the importance of distinguishing between different sources and levels of social support in developmental research.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144320219","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}

Additionally, a better understanding Healthy Context Paradox mechanism requires assessing nonlinear effects of individual and classroom victimization on adolescents' internalizing problems. This study collected longitudinal data from 1029 adolescents over a 20-month period (Time 1: N = 1358, 49.5% girls, Mage ± SD = 12.38 ± 0.53; Time 2: N = 1029, 54.3% girls, Mage ± SD = 12.37 ± 0.49). Polynomial regression and multilevel average response surface analysis showed a linear effect, with higher level in individual and classroom victimization predicted worse outcomes. Moderated response surface analysis revealed that at low resilience level, greater incongruence between individual and classroom victimization predicted more internalizing problems, but this association became non-significant at high resilience level.

This longitudinal multi-informant study examined reciprocal associations between parental overprotection and children's anxiety at the between- and within-family level, as well as explored whether these linkages differed by informant, parental role, and children's gender. A total of 471 children (55.2% for boys, Mage at T1 = 9.73, SD = 0.57), their fathers (N = 466, Mage at T1 = 38.92, SD = 4.13), and mothers (N = 469, Mage at T1 = 37.55, SD = 3.85) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study with one-year intervals. Results from random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling (RI-CLPM) indicated that at the between-family level, paternal overprotection, maternal overprotection, and children's anxiety were positively correlated with each other. While at the within-family level, in the parent-reported model, children's anxiety predicted an increase in parental overprotection after one year, with a stronger predictive effect on maternal overprotection than that on paternal overprotection, and in the child-reported model, positively reciprocal predictive effects were found between maternal overprotection and children's anxiety over time, and in the cross-informant-reported models, maternal overprotection reported by children could positively predict the following children's anxiety reported by parents. The above results did not differ between boys and girls.

To address this, this study extended social comparison theory to help-receiving contexts, examining how social comparison of received help influences interpersonal gratitude among emerging adults in China, while exploring the mediating role of self-worth and the moderating role of help effectiveness.

The two studies found consistent evidence that students who engage in a more extreme downward social comparison of received help show higher levels of interpersonal gratitude.

Examining its etiological sources and evolving pathways helps inform strategies to mitigate adolescents' risk-taking behavior. Studies have found that unfavorable environmental factors, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), are associated with momentary levels of risk-taking in adolescents, but little is known about whether ACEs shape the developmental trajectory of risk-taking. Even less research has investigated the underlying mechanisms. Drawing on the self-regulation theory, this study examined the associations between ACEs and the developmental trajectory of adolescent risk-taking. Moreover, it also explored self-control as a mediator and genetic variations as a moderator from a \"gene × environment\" approach. Participants were 564 Chinese adolescents (48.40% males, M_age = 14.20 years, SD = 1.52). Adolescents reported their ACEs and self-control at T1 and risk-taking three times, with a six-month interval between each time point. Adolescents' saliva was collected at T1 for genetic extraction, and polygenetic index was created based on the gene-by-environment interaction between SNPs and ACEs for self-control via the leave-one-out machine learning approach. Findings of latent growth modeling revealed that adolescents' risk-taking decreased over time. ACEs were directly and indirectly through self-control associated with high initial levels of, and a rapid decrease in, risk-taking, especially for those with a higher polygenetic index compared to those with a lower polygenetic index. Theoretically, these results suggest a tripartite model of adolescent risk-taking, such that risk-taking is the combined function of adverse experiences in early years, low self-control, and carriage of sensitive genes. Practically, intervention strategies should reduce childhood adversities, build up self-control, and consider the potential impacts of genetic plasticity.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":"1356-1376"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143007727","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}
