It has long been assumed that children and adolescents want to be with their peers and therefore make active efforts to engage with them. However, a sizable minority of youth avoid peers for internal reasons (e.g., anxiety, preferences for solitude) or because they are socially withdrawn. Although by definition, withdrawn youth tend to stay away…

Bukowski, William M.; Dirks, Melanie; Persram, Ryan J.; Wright, Leah; Infantino, Erika – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
Although peer relations are recognized as a fundamental developmental context, they have been rarely studied as a means of understanding the effects of socioeconomic status and inequality.

Nishina, Adrienne; Witkow, Melissa – Grantee Submission, 2019
The population of multiracial youth in the United States is expected to grow in the coming decades (exceeding 11% by 2060).

We describe ways in which youth from more than one racial background…

In this paper, one of the most common disorders of childhood and adolescence, social anxiety disorder (SAD), is examined to illustrate the complex and delicate interplay between parent and child factors that can result in normal development gone awry. Our parent-child model of SAD posits a host of variables that converge to occasion the onset and…
