Hou Xie; Kaylin Ratner; Suzanne G. Fegley; Michael J. Nakkula – Child Development, 2025
This study investigated the development of educational aspirations (EAs) among Chinese youth (n = 2228, 48.61% female, 87.66% Han, M[subscript age_2010] = 11.48 years) for 6 years. Five latent classes of EA trajectories were identified. They varied greatly during early adolescence but converged around an associate degree in middle adolescence and…

Kathy T. Do; Eva H. Telzer – Developmental Psychology, 2024
This preregistered, longitudinal study examined how much adolescents value and integrate their parents' and peers' attitudes into their own attitudes from early to middle adolescence. Across three waves, participants (N = 172, 91 female, 11-16 years across three waves; 439 data points) decided whether to pay money to learn their parents' or peers'…

Seth E. Tichenor; Katelyn L. Gerwin; Bridget Walsh – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is the process of engaging in negatively valenced and habitual thought patterns. RNT is strongly associated with mental health conditions and often affects quality of life. This study explored RNT in older school-age children and adolescents who stutter to quantify the relationship between RNT and…

Ana Cebollero-Salinas; Santos Orejudo Hernández; Jacobo Cano Escoriaza – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2025
The socialisation of adolescent boys and girls takes place primarily online in virtual environments, where cyberbullying is one of the greatest current social dangers faced by that age group. Socio-emotional e-competencies (i.e., competencies that apply specifically to online environments) are a protective factor against cyberaggression and…

Does a Change in Moral Neutralization from Early to Mid-Adolescence Predict a Change in Delinquency?
Glenn D. Walters – Journal of Moral Education, 2023
A growth mixture modeling (GMM) analysis of neutralization scores in 1,830 youth across six waves of data revealed evidence of a three-class model in which moral neutralization either increased (low accelerating), decreased (high decelerating), or remained the same (moderate stable) over time. Controlling for age, sex, race, group assignment, and…

Molla-Esparza, Cristian; Nájera, Pablo; López-González, Emelina; Losilla, Josep-María – Youth & Society, 2023
The aim of this research is to examine associations of adolescent sexting with gender, being in a romantic relationship, and other online or offline sexual behaviors, using the adolescent sexting scale A-SextS as a standardized measure. Data were collected from a sample of 579 Spanish secondary school pupils (47.3% girls), between the ages of 11…

Allemand, Mathias; Fend, Helmut A.; Hill, Patrick L. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The current longitudinal study examined the predictive associations between the development of future perceptions in adolescence and depressive symptoms in adolescence and early and middle adulthood. Participants (N = 1,527; 48.3% female; broadly representative of Western Germany with respect to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status) were…

Kaspar Burger; Michael Becker; Ingrid Schoon – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Developmental science suggests that the consequences of mental health problems for life-course outcomes may depend on the timing of their onset. This study investigated the extent to which mental health predicted educational attainment at ages 17, 20, and 25 and whether gender moderated the links between mental health and educational attainment.…

Adriana Kaori Terol; Yan Xia; Ronaldo L. Rodas Jara; Hedda Meadan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autism is a lifelong condition characterized by repetitive and restrictive behaviors and differences in social communication. The reported prevalence of autism has risen exponentially in the past years. Early identification and subsequent early intervention are key to promoting better outcomes for autistic individuals. However, there is a dearth…

Silva, Karol; Robles, Reyneris J.; Friedrich, Elizabeth; Fisher Thiel, Megan; Ford, Carol A.; Miller, Victoria A. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2021
Stereotyped beliefs about the teen years may guide individuals' cognition, behaviors, and well-being. This study explored associations between parents' generalized views of typical adolescents and parent and teen well-being and examined parent-adolescent communication (PAC) as a potential mechanism in that association. One-hundred twenty…

Wang, Li; Beaman, C. Philip; Jiang, Cunmei; Liu, Fang – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Prosody or "melody in speech" in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often perceived as atypical. This study examined perception and production of statements and questions in 84 children, adolescents and adults with and without ASD, as well as participants' pitch direction discrimination thresholds. The results suggested that the abilities…

Muro, Ayane; Takatoku, Nozomi; Ohtaka, Chiaki; Fujiwara, Motoko; Nakata, Hiroki – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
We investigated performance levels on conducting continuous two-footed jumping of preschool children (4 years old) to high school students (16 years old) to clarify the developmental progression and sex differences in motor coordination and agility. In total, 450 children (boys: 227; girls: 223) participated in this study. We set 10 obstacles to…

Johnson, Lisa E.; Robins, Richard W.; Guyer, Amanda E.; Hastings, Paul D. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The current study examined the Five Cs model of positive youth development (PYD; Lerner et al., 2005) in U.S. Mexican-origin youth (N = 674, 50% female) and tested the extent to which ethnic pride, familismo, and respeto, as an index of cultural orientation, predicted PYD across midadolescence. PYD was modeled using a bifactor structure, which…

John A. Bragle; Diana R. Dansereau – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2024
According to social identity theory, individuals self-categorize into groups and then differentiate between groups based on stereotypical norms to create a perceived hierarchy to benefit their self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to explore the presence of social identities among adolescent musicians related to the career paths of music…

Neagoe, Ioana M.; Papasteri, Claudiu C. – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: Children and adolescents in residential care have more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) than those living in any other type of care. However, there is scant research on risk factors accounting for this accumulation. Objective: To establish the prevalence of ACEs in child residential care and to explore predictors of accumulation…
