A sample of 189 girls (aged 10-12 years) completed questionnaire measures of media consumption and body image concerns. Nearly all girls (97.5%) had access to the Internet in their home. Time spent on-line was significantly related to internalization of the thin ideal (as was time reading magazines and watching television), body surveillance, reduced body esteem, and increased dieting. In accord with the sociocultural model, internalization mediated the effect of the Internet on body image concerns. Further, 14% of the girls had a MySpace profile and 43% had a Facebook profile. Time spent on these social networking sites produced stronger correlations with body image concern than did overall Internet exposure. It was concluded that the Internet represents a potent sociocultural force among preteenage girls.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"34 1","pages":"606 - 620"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431613501083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65024177","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}

The current study examines the nature of middle school students’ interactions with friends following academic successes and the consequences of these interactions for students’ school adjustment. Participants were 293 fifth- through eighth-grade students. Grade-level differences emerged in students’ reports of their motives for sharing, friends’ responses to sharing, and students’ motives for not sharing. Sharing successes predicted tradeoffs for children’s school adjustment such that sharing predicted more positive school attitudes, but more negative perceptions of peer relationships over time. Children’s reports of their motives for sharing and friends’ responses to sharing also predicted changes in school adjustment over time. Implications of these findings for helping middle school students capitalize on academic successes via their interactions with friends are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"31 1","pages":"174 - 203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2011-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431610379414","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65024128","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}

The sample included 212 African American families living in urban public housing; Offspring were entering adolescence when data were collected. Parenting support was measured by assessing the perceived assistance mothers received with parenting tasks. Child, maternal, and observer reports of maternal responsiveness and child and maternal reports of monitoring were used to measure parenting behaviors. Multigroup structural equation modeling was employed to examine the hypotheses. Results indicated that parenting support moderated the association between age of mother at childbirth and monitoring. Specifically, the younger a mother is when she has her child, the less she monitors her child, but only if she perceives that she is receiving little parenting support. Among mothers who reported higher levels of parenting support, no relationship existed between age of mother and monitoring behaviors.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"24 1","pages":"200 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431604265683","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65024059","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}

Results indicated significant but low associations between teacher and child self-reports of threatening behavior. Although there was agreement among the majority (67%) of students, teacher and self-reports diverged for a significant number of students (33%), thereby revealing the unique perspectives each brings to the task of documenting verbal threats.

This article provides an overview of current knowledge on relational aggression including its definition, its link to a number of adjustment difficulties, and contexts contributing to the maintenance of relational aggression. Based on the review of empirical findings, educational implications for teachers and school administrators are discussed with an emphasis on an urgent need to promote a greater understanding of relational aggression and develop effective, innovative approaches in schools. The discussion also includes specific recommendations for prevention and intervention of relational aggression in middle school.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"24 1","pages":"303 - 318"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431604265681","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65024042","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}

Results showed that, as the number of risk factors increased, levels of externalizing and internalizing problems also increased. Furthermore, findings indicated that socio-emotional competence was predictive of fewer externalizing and internalizing problems for females independent of the level of cumulative risk. Maintenance of family routines protected females exposed to elevated levels of cumulative risk from heightened levels of externalizing problems. Despite exposure to multiple risk factors, boys high in socio-emotional competence and those boys reporting a good quality mother-son relationship were protected from elevated levels of adjustment problems. Results underscore the importance of examining within-group variability among young Latino adolescents.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"24 1","pages":"250 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431604265675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65023995","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}

There has been a mathematical curriculum change in general secondary education at the highest level (grammar school). The new curriculum consists of two programs, math A and math B. Pupils can choose one or both of these programs. Math A is designed to make mathematics more appealing and life-like thus attracting more students, especially girls, to choose math and to acquire more positive attitudes toward the subject. Math A prepares students for study in humanities and economics. Math B is a traditional math program that prepares students for study in science, technics, agriculture, and medicine. This paper reports the first results of the effect of the new curriculum on both boys' and girls' choices of mathematics programs and on their attitudes toward math.","PeriodicalId":51412,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Adolescence","volume":"7 1","pages":"35 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"1987-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272431687071005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65024190","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}
