DiLeo, Letty L.; Suldo, Shannon M.; Ferron, John M.; Shaunessy-Dedrick, Elizabeth – School Mental Health, 2022
A dual-factor model (DFM) of mental health conceptualizes complete mental health as both low levels of psychopathology and high levels of subjective well-being (SWB).

Samuels, William Ellery; Tournaki, Nelly; Sacks, Stanley; Sacks, JoAnn; Blackman, Sheldon; Byalin, Kenneth; Zilinski, Christopher – European Educational Researcher, 2019
Executive functions (EFs) show promise as important mediators of adolescent academic performance. However, the expense of measuring EFs accurately has restricted most field-based research on them to smaller, non-longitudinal studies of homogeneous populations with specific diagnoses. We therefore monitored the development of 259 diverse, at-risk…

The self-equilibrium hypothesis underlines the importance of having a strong core self, which is defined as a high and developmentally stable self-concept. This study tested this hypothesis in relation to body image (BI) trajectories in a sample of 1,006 adolescents (M[subscript age] = 12.6, including 541 males and 465 females) across a 4-year…
