However, we do not respond to all transgressions similarly: as adults, we are more likely to pursue the punishment of certain transgressions compared to others. This study (N = 213) looked at how presenting different transgressions may shape the developmental trajectory of third-party punishment behavior in children. Specifically, we tested whether children would be more likely to punish property destruction and theft compared to unfairness at earlier ages and, if so, whether this difference is related to perceptions of severity. We presented children with three transgression types (unfairness, property destruction, and theft). We then measured children's severity ratings and costly third-party punishment behavior. Both younger and older children rated property destruction and theft as worse than unfairness. Despite this, neither older nor younger children punished one kind of transgression more than another, suggesting that children's third-party punishment behavior is not especially sensitive to transgression type. However, exploratory analyses revealed that, independent of transgression type, older children were particularly inclined to punish what they perceived as worse actions compared to younger children, who largely did not punish at all. These results suggest that older children's third-party punishment decisions show signatures of being more sensitive to severity than younger children's.

Using data from the California Families Project, a longitudinal study of 674 Mexican-origin youth living in the United States, the present study examined the association between trajectories of psychiatric disorders from late childhood to adolescence and a wide range of high school outcomes assessed via school records. Psychiatric disorders were examined at different levels of breadth, including individual psychiatric disorders, internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and total symptoms. Results of latent growth curve models showed that youth exhibiting more overall psychiatric symptoms had lower high school grade point averages and achievement test scores, took fewer challenging courses during high school, and were less likely to attend college compared with youth exhibiting fewer symptoms. Counterintuitively, faster increases (or slower decreases) in psychiatric symptoms were associated with more positive school outcomes. These findings were similar for boys and girls and for youth born in the United States and Mexico. Incremental validity analyses showed that temperament levels were more robust predictors of school outcomes than psychiatric disorder levels. Developmentally, changes in temperament and psychiatric disorders independently predicted school outcomes. Overall, temperament levels and slopes had incremental validity over psychiatric disorder levels and slopes, suggesting that temperament may be a better target of intervention efforts to promote school success than psychiatric symptoms.

Few interventions to date have successfully addressed this problem. The present study examined the effects of pretesting on children's learning from moral stories. We assigned sixty 5- to 6-year-olds to either a pretesting condition, where they attempted pretest questions about a to-be-learned moral before hearing a moral story, or a control condition, where they only heard the story. After hearing the story, pretested children were significantly more likely than the control group to generate the intended moral theme on open-ended questions asking about the story's lesson. They did not perform any better, however, on tasks that involved selecting the theme in a forced-choice format or applying it to novel scenarios. Hence, the present findings partially support the hypothesis that pretesting improves children's theme extraction from moral stories-that is, enhancing the ability to reproduce the correct theme but not enhancing generalization to other circumstances. Overall, this study reveals that pretesting can enhance the effectiveness of moral stories as an educational tool, at least in terms of helping children to learn important moral lessons, and presents directions for further research to investigate real-life applications of these lessons.

Although previous research has shown moderate concurrent and longitudinal associations between co-rumination, depressive symptoms, and friendship quality, it is unclear whether these processes also take place at the within-person level (i.e., whether increases in co-rumination co-occur with or predict increases in depressive symptoms or friendship quality). Furthermore, some of co-rumination's effect on depressive symptoms may be suppressed due to an indirect effect through friendship quality. The present study aimed to test the concurrent and longitudinal associations between co-rumination, depressive symptoms, and positive friendship quality at the within-person level in a longitudinal four-wave study of early and late adolescents. Participants were younger (Mage = 11.58, 49.5% boys) and older (Mage = 17.79, 24.5% boys) Dutch adolescents (N = 510) who reported on their co-rumination and relationship quality of their closest friendship, as well as their depressive symptoms. Results revealed that adolescents who generally experienced more co-rumination also experienced more depressive symptoms and more positive friendship quality (between-person results). At the within-person level, however, co-rumination was only concurrently associated with friendship quality and not with depressive symptoms, and no predictive effects were found. This suggests that the theorized costs and benefits of co-rumination only take place at the between-person level and may not reflect intraindividual processes. As such, co-rumination may provide more benefits than costs.

One important ethnic-racial identity belief is public regard, which reflects adolescents' perceptions of their ethnic-racial group's social standing; however, limited research explores how school-based forces inform ethnoracially minoritized adolescents' public regard. Accordingly, the present study examined the interrelations among school discrimination, school belonging, and public regard over the course of a school year among Black, Asian American, and Latine adolescents (n = 2,060; Mage = 15.91, 46% boys, 54% girls or another gender). Findings suggested that across the three ethnic-racial groups, higher beginning-of-year school belonging was associated with higher public regard over the course of the school year, whereas higher beginning-of-year school discrimination was associated with lower public regard over the course of the school year. Drawing on an ecological systems framing, we also explored whether these relations were bidirectional, and we found that higher beginning-of-year public regard was associated with higher school belonging over the course of the school year, but beginning-of-year public regard was not associated with later reports of school discrimination. We did not find differences in the strength or significance of any of these relations across ethnic-racial groups. Our findings highlight the important role of school contextual factors in the evolving ethnic-racial identity beliefs of adolescents from ethnoracially minoritized backgrounds.

Participants (N = 145) included 10th- and 11th-grade students in the southern United States from a larger longitudinal study (13% Asian American, 9% bi/multiracial, 10% other races/ethnicities, 9% Black, 31% Latino/a/x, and 28% White adolescents; 58% female). Results showed that repeated exposure to vicarious discrimination targeting parents, friends, and via media was associated with individual differences in increased negative mood and cognitive-affective reactions. Although parent and friend support were observed to buffer the adverse influences of vicarious discrimination on daily responses, an exacerbating effect of parent and friend support was also observed. Specifically, daily vicarious discrimination directed at parents was associated with increased same-day negative mood and social misfit, but only when adolescents perceived high levels of parent support. Similarly, vicarious discrimination targeting friends was linked to heightened same-day anxiety when friend support was perceived as high. These findings highlight the nuanced role of social support in coping with vicarious discrimination and the need to support adolescents in managing vicarious discrimination and inform theoretical understanding of how vicarious discrimination affects adolescents' daily lives.

They were assessed three times over 18 months using the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale. Latent class growth analysis identified six distinct trajectories. Results indicated that while the majority (70.4%) maintained consistently low symptom levels (low-stable class), a critical subgroup (2.2%) exhibited a sharp increase from low initial levels (low-escalating class).
