Philippe, Frederick L.; Gingras, Marie-Pier; Ghassemi-Bakhtiari, Nessa; Poulin, François; Robitaille, Jean; Denault, Anne-Sophie; Dandeneau, Stéphane; Geoffroy, Marie-Claude – Applied Developmental Science, 2023
Unlike organized activities such as sports and arts, civic activities in adolescence (e.g., volunteering, student government) have been less studied in relation to school success and almost all existing evidence consists of cross-sectional findings. In a longitudinal study, 1035 pupils (64% females, 20% nonwhite, M[subscript age] = 14.21 years)…

Cawthon, Stephanie W.; Caemmerer, Jacqueline M.; Dickson, Duncan M.; Ocuto, Oscar L.; Ge, Jinjin; Bond, Mark P. – Applied Developmental Science, 2015
Social skills function as a vehicle by which we negotiate important relationships and navigate the transition from childhood into the educational and professional experiences of early adulthood. Yet, for individuals who are deaf, access to these opportunities may vary depending on their preferred language modality, family language use, and…
