However, few prior studies focused on the longitudinal association and the functional nature between ACEs and PSMU. Drawing on the Compensatory Internet Use Theory and the Cumulative Risk Hypothesis, this study aimed to examine the relation between ACEs and PSMU as well as the cumulative effects of ACEs on PSMU using a three-wave longitudinal design with multiple informant assessments of adolescent PSMU.Methods: A total of 264 Chinese adolescents (50.0% female; Mage = 13.91 years, SD = 0.76) and 234 parents (75.0% female; Mage(206) = 41.00 years, SD = 3.65) participated in the baseline measurement. Two separate sets of generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) were performed to test the effects of ACEs on adolescent-reported and parent-reported PSMU.Results: Results from the GLMM analyses revealed that (1) exposure to ACEs significantly predicted adolescent-reported PSMU (b = 0.17, p < 0.01), but not parent-reported PSMU (b = 0.03, p = 0.65), and (2) the functional relation between cumulative ACEs and PSMU followed a linear pattern, irrespective of whether PSMU was reported by adolescents or parents. These findings provided empirical support for the Cumulative Risk Hypothesis, specifically aligning with the additive (linear) model.Conclusions: Earlier ACE exposure predicts subsequent adolescent PSMU; the functional relation between cumulative ACEs and PSMU is linear. This underscores the importance of addressing each ACE in prevention and intervention efforts aimed at mitigating adolescent PSMU.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positive Youth Development, conceptualized into domains by the Collaborative for Academic and Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), has been linked to prosocial behavior, however a synthesis of this evidence has been lacking. Therefore, this systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis investigated the association between (skills within) CASEL domains (i.e., self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making) and prosocial behavior, in both normative samples and those characterized by or at-risk of antisocial tendencies.Methods: Searches in PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science identified 6,340 unique records, with 121 studies being included.Results: Most studies found positive associations between self-awareness and self-management skills and prosocial behavior, with meta-analyses showing small-to-moderate correlations for the skills emotion identification (r = 0.17), self-confidence (r = 0.20), self-control (r = 0.24), self-management (r = 0.25), and self-efficacy (r = 0.29). Moreover, there is some initial evidence suggesting a connection with self-efficacy, relationship skills and building in antisocial/at-risk youth.Conclusion: Overall, this review highlights the need for an integrative approach to foster prosocial behavior, emphasizing the role of self-awareness and self-management skills in supporting developmental outcomes. However, further research investigating causality and antisocial youth specifically is needed.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145070735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, some youths struggle with this transition and fall into a NEET-status, \"not in employment, education, or training.\" By studying the temporal dynamics of such NEETs' career related self-efficacy and career decidedness across four waves, the current study aims to gain an understanding of how such young people may transition back out of NEET status.Methods: For this purpose, the current study followed N = 264 NEETs in Germany (aged 15-25; 42.6% female, mean age 18.41 years) up to four measurement points between 2014 and 2016 in a cross-lagged panel design to trace their career-related self-efficacy and career decidedness as predictors of their eventual ability to leave the NEET status.Results: Results indicate that while self-efficacy and career decidedness covaried when studied crossectionally, contrary to conceptual predictions, neither self-efficacy nor career decidedness impacted each other across time. Further, the more decided NEETs felt towards the end of the study's period, the higher their chance of exiting the NEET status by finding employment, returning to school for a degree, or starting an apprenticeship or training.Conclusion: This study sheds light on the interplay between self-efficacy and career decidedness over multiple measurement points and how youths with otherwise bleak outlooks decide on their future career and possibly enter more favorable career trajectories. Practical implications include advice for programs targeting younger people.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145070776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, no work has examined trajectories of active coping within the unique developmental context of Latinx adolescents. The purpose of this study was to (a) examine changes in active coping strategies during the transition from middle to high school (Goal 1) and (b) explore variations in the trajectories of active coping by gender and nativity (Goal 2) among Latinx adolescents.Method: Using latent growth curve analysis, trajectories of active coping strategies across the transition from middle to high school, (i.e., 3 time points, 8th grade, 9th grade, and 10th grade) were examined among 288 Latinx adolescents at ages 13 to15 at Time 1 (MageT1 = 13.69, SDageT1 = 0.56).Results: The study found stability in the trajectory of active coping during the transition from 8th to 9th grade, but a significant curvilinear decline in active coping during the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade; there were no differences in the trajectory of active coping by gender and nativity.Conclusion: The findings suggest that the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade is a sensitive period that clinical and educational program administrators may want to target when focusing on developing active coping among Latinx adolescents.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145070784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The postpandemic era, characterized by rapidly evolving economies and technologies, has augmented the complexity of negotiating such pathways. Despite this, young people-understood here through the lens of emergent adulthood-are often positioned as wholly responsible for navigating their own pathways beyond school.Methods: A pragmatic case study approach was used to analyze qualitative data collected from three SWT partnership programs (UniHub, Australian School-based Apprenticeships [ASbAs], and Regional Learning Pathways [RLPs]) aimed at young people (2018-2023) in regional areas of Tasmania, Australia. For each program, participants were interviewed (N = 6 [UniHub]; N = 23 [ASbAs]; N = 44 [RLPs]) and surveyed (N = 350 [UniHub]; N = 21 [ASbAs]), and data were thematically analyzed to identify the role of boundary-crossers in SWT partnerships.Results: Boundary-crosser work emerged as a key component of the sampled SWT partnerships. Enabling features of boundary-crossing work in partnerships include accessibility, support contextualized to the region and individual-like reducing barriers to equity-and using clear communication approaches. This role redistributed responsibility in the SWT to a partnership between schools, pathways, and young people.Conclusions: Whereas literature and policy underscore the economic and developmental importance of SWT, the contribution of this article is research and data that nuance understanding of how SWT partnerships can share the responsibility of the SWT by designing in the program a boundary-crosser role. The concept of boundary-crosser work in SWT partnerships offers a novel approach for policymakers in policy and practice to rethink how the SWT is supported.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145041782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Body image concerns are common psychological difficulties among youth. However, the relationship between body image and these fundamental needs at school remains underexplored. Therefore, the present study examined the longitudinal associations between students' body image concerns and sense of competence and relatedness, and the degree to which teachers' emotional support moderated these bidirectional associations. Gender and age differences were also investigated.Methods: A total of 2675 students (9-17 years; 41% male/56% female; 74.1% White/25.9% racialized) from 47 schools in Canada completed questionnaires on body image, sense of competence and relatedness at school, and perceived teachers' emotional support at the beginning and at the end of the same academic year.Results: After controlling for potential confounding variables, body image concerns predicted a lower sense of competence over time, but the reverse association only applied for girls and older students. Body image concerns and sense of relatedness were also found to be bidirectionally associated over time with significant gender differences. Girls' body image concerns predicted a lower sense of relatedness, whereas boys' lower sense of relatedness predicted higher body image concerns over time. Teachers' support moderated some of these associations.Conclusions: The findings suggest that body image concerns can impact students' sense of competence and relatedness, and vice versa, with significant gender differences.

Academic persistence was assessed by examining two markers: how much adolescents were engaged in school, as well as how much they interpreted school difficulties as indicating the importance of school.Results: Black and Latina girls assigned to the 'community resourcefulness reflection' who were invited to reflect on strategies and advice from their racial/ethnic communities (vs. their peers who were not) saw their racial/ethnic and ideal career identities as more aligned, which in turn was associated with increased academic engagement and increased likelihood of interpreting school difficulties as indicating school importance. Moreover, Black and Latine adolescents assigned to the \"voice reflection\" who were invited to reflect on how their voice could play a powerful role in spaces where they are underrepresented (vs. their peers who were not) reported more school belonging, which in turn was associated with increased academic engagement and increased likelihood of interpreting school difficulties as indicating school importance.Conclusions: These findings indicate that approaches focused on racial/ethnic strengths foster positive identity connections, school belonging, and academic persistence for adolescents of color.","PeriodicalId":48397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how youth experiences of their ERI in interactions with peers of different ethnic-racial backgrounds are shaped by the organizational context and content of interactions.Methods: I draw on ethnographic interviews with participants in the United States at a high school debate program, an activity historically dominated by white males but with increasing participation of minoritized youth. I use a sensemaking lens to examine how youth in my study (N = 8; age 13-18; 2 male, 5 female, 1 nonbinary; 4 Asian American, 1 Black, 2 Latinx, 1 White) understand the salience of and public regard for their ethnicity-race in interactions during debate competitions.Results: The combination of the ethnic-racial composition of settings and the content of interactions influenced ERI salience. Youth made sense of public regard for their ethnic-racial group from both peers' responses to their expressions of ERI and the validation or invalidation they received from those with authority in the organization.Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the importance of examining organizational norms and power that uphold or interrupt white supremacy as a critical part of the context around ERI development.

Guided by the General Aggression Model and the Social Information Processing Model, this study investigates the longitudinal associations and potential mediating effects among violence exposure, negative rumination, and cyber aggression.Methods: A two-wave longitudinal survey was conducted with a 6-month interval among 1758 Chinese middle school students (Mage = 15.43 ± 2.23 years; 57.91% female). Participants completed self-reported questionnaires on violence exposure, negative rumination, and cyber aggression. Cross-lagged panel models and mediation analyses were employed to examine reciprocal and indirect effects.Results: Results indicated significant bidirectional associations between violence exposure and cyber aggression, as well as between violence exposure and negative rumination. Negative rumination unidirectionally predicted later cyber aggression. Longitudinal mediation analysis further revealed that negative rumination partially mediated the link between prior violence exposure and subsequent cyber aggression.Conclusions: This study is the first to reveal a dynamic reciprocal structure among violence exposure, rumination, and cyber aggression using a cross-lagged panel design. Findings suggest that violence exposure contributes to cyber aggression both directly and indirectly via cognitive-emotional processes.
