Specifically, we examined how heritage-based versus pluralistic national identity content relates to adolescents' critical interpersonal and structural anti-racist action through critical awareness of racialised inequities and critical anti-racist motivation. Our sample comprised 743 9th grade students (<i>M</i> = 15.04 years) in Thuringia, Germany. Path analyses revealed that across adolescents, pluralistic national identity content was not associated with critical awareness, but positively associated with motivation, which in turn was positively related to interpersonal and structural action. Heritage-based national identity content was negatively associated with interpersonal action for students experiencing low foreigner objectification and displaying high national attachment. In contrast, it was positively related to structural action for adolescents experiencing high foreigner objectification, and to interpersonal action when adolescents displayed low national attachment. Thus, adolescents' national identity and CC development are intertwined. While our results suggest that pluralistic conceptions of national identity are linked to adolescents' anti-racist action through critical anti-racist motivation, their potential to contribute to a holistic CC development may be limited given the lack of an observed association with critical awareness. More research is needed to disentangle various notions of pluralistic identities and examine whether and under which conditions these may relate to adolescents' critical awareness of racialised inequities. Furthermore, our results underscore the importance of continuously reflecting on heritage-based national identity conceptions and countering their exclusive nuances.</p>","PeriodicalId":47850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/casp.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strong family and neighbourhood cohesion both play protective roles in maintaining the mental health of children and adolescents. From a systemic approach, adolescent behavioural problems are linked to family cohesion and mediated by neighbourhood social cohesion, which may serve as a buffer against family difficulties. Data from 700 parents of adolescents aged 10–13 years from southern Poland were analysed. Within the total, 207 adolescents had diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Structural equation modelling, adjusting for financial situation and ADHD, was used. Sex, ADHD, single-parent household, presence of siblings and social media use were explored as moderators. The data come from the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), the Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES)-IV and the Brief Form of the Perceived Neighbourhood Social Cohesion Questionnaire (PNSC-BF). Family and neighbourhood social cohesion were both related to behavioural problems. Neighbourhood social cohesion was a significant mediator of the relationship between family cohesion and internalising and externalising behaviours. The presence of siblings was a significant moderator for the indirect effect on externalising behaviours. The findings of the study support the thesis that family and neighbourhood social cohesion serve as protective factors for adolescent behavioural problems. They highlight the need for therapeutic interventions that strengthen family cohesion to mitigate adolescent behavioural symptoms, while promoting neighbourhood relationships and community engagement enhances belonging and parental competence, ultimately improving mental health outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/casp.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three critical external themes were (1) speaking and acting ‘truth to power’ by addressing state capture and using government leadership; (2) achieving between-system change by addressing economic systems and social norms; and (3) alignment with nature by respecting the natural world, incorporating climate disasters in communication programs, and expanding personal relevance.

This review highlights that the existing evidence on NEETs psychological features is mainly correlational, does not include relevant and much-needed qualitative approaches, emphasises challenging psychological outcomes (e.g., internalisation) over positive psychological ones (e.g., resilience) and presents some conceptual overlaps between psychological constructs, which hampers the ability to design effective policies and programs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143530146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypotheses were tested to examine the associations among narcissism, sense of community, and self-esteem, with the use of SNSs as a moderating factor. The results indicated a negative relationship between narcissism and sense of community, with self-esteem mediating this relationship. Furthermore, the low or high use of SNSs moderates the negative relationship between narcissism and sense of community and self-esteem such that with high use of social media, the relationship becomes positive. These findings suggest that vulnerable-narcissist adolescents use social sites as facilitators of community relationships and support of their self-esteem.

Acculturation and psychological resilience are useful concepts, as both acknowledge the interplay between individual and contextual factors in sociocultural adjustment. However, less is known about the role of resilience in the selection and maintenance of acculturation strategies, especially among refugee youth. This qualitative interview study aimed to investigate how acculturation strategies may be shaped by risks and resources using a socioecological resilience framework. The narratives of 22 refugee youth in Sweden were explored using reflexive thematic analysis. Deductive coding, informed by an established socioecological model of immigrant youth adaptation, examined the interplay between individual acculturation motivations and contextual factors. The analysis resulted in six themes: (1) <i>war, peace, and opportunities</i> (global forces); (2) <i>(dis)orientation and comparisons</i> (socio-political context); (3) <i>aiming for integration</i> (individual/motivation to acculturate); (4) <i>learning to belong</i> (microsystem—school); (5) <i>inclusion and exclusion</i> (microsystem—friends); (6) <i>support, conflict, and accord</i> (microsystem—family).

In the present research, we examined how causal attributions for income status impact the relationships between personal income status and subjective well-being in American samples. In Study 1, participants' income-attribution types were assessed, whereas in Study 2, participants were randomly assigned to one of three priming conditions about the causes of income status: individualistic, structural vs. luck attributions. The results of both studies showed that higher income status was linked to less perceived deprivation and greater life satisfaction for participants with (or primed with) structural attributions; however, these income effects were reduced (Study 1) or insignificant (Study 2) for participants with (or primed with) individualistic attributions. Moreover, Study 2 found that the income effects were the strongest for participants primed with luck attributions among the three attribution groups. The results suggest that as the sense of control reduces, the associations between income and well-being increase. The research sheds light on how meaning systems, such as attributional beliefs, moderate people's psychological responses to income status, which could then help explain or predict different behavioural responses.
