The findings underscore the urgent need for educational ecosystems to move away from ability grouping and embrace alternative pedagogical approaches that foster growth mindsets, equitable opportunities, and inclusive education for all students. The implications of this article extend beyond the immediate concerns of schools, school organizations, and mathematics education enthusiasts. Particularly, the insights gleaned from this research bear significant relevance to the development of adolescents and youths on a broader scale. The insights provided by this study are relevant to parents, educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in fostering an educational landscape that equips adolescents and young people with the skills, attitudes, and opportunities needed for success in a diverse and complex world.","PeriodicalId":46941,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adolescence and Youth","volume":"14 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135461516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The various components of social capital, including trust and reciprocity, help youth to function positively in society. Unfortunately, previous literature ignored a higher-order analysis of social capital with happiness. This research aimed to examine the association between various components of social capital and happiness. Using a convenient sampling technique, we gathered data from 843 university enrolled students (Male = 581, Female = 262, age 21–23) from four public universities in Punjab, Pakistan. The first and second hypotheses confirmed that bonding trust, bonding, bridging, and linkage engagements and components of social capital were positively associated with the happiness of youth. The higher-order social capital model should be replicated in future studies, and local government should take essential steps to get the trust of the people which is necessary for the development of society.","PeriodicalId":46941,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adolescence and Youth","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135591328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multilevel log-binomial regression assessed family correlates of PIU (YIAT ≥40). The mean (SD) age was 15.6 (±1.8) years; 54% were girls; PIU prevalence was 41.8%.

Measures were expressed in standard deviation (SD) units. Based on regression models with both factors plus covariates, school belonging increased 0.12 (95% CI: 0.11, 0.13) units for a 1.00 SD increase in teacher connection and 0.09 units (95% CI: 0.08, 0.10) for a 1.00 SD increase in perspective-taking.

A total of 440 adolescents participated in the study (female: 48.2%; male: 51.8%); their ages ranged from 12 to 17 (Mage = 14; SDage = 1.38). The results showed a three-factor structure invariant by gender and age group and adequate internal consistency, although it was necessary to eliminate item 8. The findings suggest that the 11-item version of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen is a measure with adequate psychometric properties, reliable and useful for the study of Peruvian adolescents.
