Direct linkLydia Gabriela Speyer; Ingrid Obsuth; Manuel Eisner; Denis Ribeaud; Aja Louise Murray – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
Connections between prosociality and antisocial behaviors have been recognized; however, little research has studied their developmental links longitudinally. This is important to illuminate during early adolescence as a sensitive period for social development in which prosociality could protect against the development of later antisocial…

Royo, Emilio; Orejudo Hernández, Santos; Latorre Peña, Julio; Rodríguez Ledo, César – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study analyzed the factorial structure of motor competence tests designed to evaluate motor development among adolescents, focusing on the two main dimensions of coordination and motor control. To this end, we randomly sampled 1,026 adolescents (45.3% males; 45.7% females, age 13.75 years, SD = 1.28). Participants completed the…

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…

Kurz, Eva-Maria; Zinke, Katharina; Born, Jan – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The architecture of sleep undergoes distinct changes during childhood and early adolescence. Slow wave sleep is involved in memory processing and may support active consolidation of newly encoded representations to support the formation of abstracted "gist" memories. Here, we examined sleep and overnight memory formation in German school…

Moses W. Ngware; Vollan Ochieng; Francis Kiroro; Njora Hungi; John M. Muchira – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2024
Economic growth is dependent on well-skilled human capital. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes are paramount in provision of the requisite capabilities which encompass both academic and non-academic skills also known as whole youth development (WYD) skills. Youths leaving training institutions in Kenya experience…

Saraiva, Pedro; Silva, Sara; Habermas, Tilmann; Henriques, Margarida R. – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Autobiographical remembering develops in childhood. A late-developing cognitive tool is the cultural life script. The present study aimed at exploring the beginnings of its acquisition and at replicating its acquisition in early adolescence in a Southern-European culture. Study 1 established the Portuguese normative adult cultural life script,…

Laurson, Kelly R.; Baptista, Fátima; Mahar, Matthew T.; Welk, Greg J.; Janz, Kathleen F. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
We developed age- and sex-specific smoothed percentiles for vertical and long jump, as well as vertical jump power, in healthy 10-18 year olds (n = 529, 47.1% female). Jump height and distance were measured and vertical jump power was assessed via mechanography. LMS regression was used to create smoothed age-specific reference curves, separated by…

Peter Kisaakye; Patricia Ndugga; Elizabeth Kwagala; Martin Kayitale Mbonye; Fred Ngabirano; Stephen Ojiambo Wandera – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2024
Parent-child communication concerning sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has significant potential to reduce children's risky sexual behaviour. Despite these benefits, few parents communicate with their children about SRH issues in Uganda. Using multi-stage stratified sampling in a cross-sectional survey, we estimated the prevalence and…

Mairon, Noam; Abramson, Lior; Knafo-Noam, Ariel; Perry, Anat; Nahum, Mor – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Empathy and executive functions (EFs) are multimodal constructs that enable individuals to cope with their environment. Both abilities develop throughout childhood and are known to contribute to social behavior and academic performance in young adolescents. Notably, mentalizing and EF activate shared frontotemporal brain areas, which in previous…

Isis Angelica Segura; Hugo Cogo-Moreira; Ali Nouri; Monica Carolina Miranda; Sabine Pompéia – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Cultural background can influence cognition, including executive functions (EFs), abilities that encompass skills responsible for self-regulation of thoughts and behavior. The seminal unity and diversity model of EFs proposes the existence, in adulthood, of at least three correlated but separable EF latent (shared variance in more than one…

Thoma, Stephen J.; Walker, David I.; Chen, Yen-Hsin; Frichand, Ana; Moulin-Stozek, Daniel; Kristjánsson, Kristján – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Little is known about adolescent applications of the virtues such as honesty, responsibility and courage across different cultural contexts. Using the Adolescent Intermediate Concepts Measure we analyze samples of adolescents (ages 12 to 20; N = 9,112) from 5 contexts: North Macedonia, Mexico, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.…

This study tested culture-general and culture-specific aspects of adolescent developmental processes by focusing on opportunities and peer support for aggressive and delinquent behavior, which could help account for cultural similarities and differences in problem behavior during adolescence. Adolescents from 12 cultural groups in 9 countries…

Stepien-Nycz, Malgorzata; Bosacki, Sandra; Bialecka-Pikul, Marta – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2021
The theory of mind (ToM) is the ability to understand mental states in others. The previous research has highlighted age- and language-dependent effects during childhood and provided inconsistent data regarding the role of gender. Notably, these variables were rarely studied simultaneously among adolescents. Accordingly, this short longitudinal…

Ella Ofek-Geva; David Fortus – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
While students tend to enjoy their science learning at a young age, as they mature, they tend to distance themselves from science, becoming less motivated to engage with science and holding negative attitudes towards science. In parallel, a career choice in science often begins to develop during early adolescence. To understand how the environment…

Savickaite, Ruta; Dijkstra, Jan Kornelis; Kreager, Derek; Ivanova, Katya; Veenstra, René – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2020
This study examined the association of friendships and popularity with adolescents' first-time involvement in a romantic relationship (referred to as romantic relationship debut). The aim of this article was twofold: first, to disentangle the unique effects of friendships and perceived popularity; second, to separate same- and cross-gender peer…
