Introduction: Parent-adolescent conflict is associated with bullying perpetration among adolescents. However, few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms of these relationships. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective interventions to reduce bullying behaviors. Methods: The study involved 899 Chinese adolescents…

Introduction: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are categorized into three groups (stability, locomotion, and object control) and are crucial for enabling the practice of physical activity in children with physical disabilities. Their development is influenced by the specific nature of each child's disability. FMS can be evaluated by process-…

Objective: Around 70% of adolescents with ADHD experience sleep and/or homework problems. Both impairments have been previously associated with neuropsychological deficits but have not been simultaneously examined in adolescents with ADHD and clinical sleep problems. Therefore, this study investigated how sleep problems are associated with…

This two-wave longitudinal study investigated the relationships between belief in others (i.e., teacher support, peer support, and family coherence) and social anxiety symptoms among rural adolescents, with self-esteem as a mediator and gender as a moderator. A total of 3,043 adolescents participated in the study across two waves. Results from…

This article investigates agency in children and young people affected by the climate-induced natural disasters in recent years in Queensland, Australia to understand their role in processing and coping with these events. The narratives of participants were explored using semi-structured interviews with eight participants aged between six and…

Introduction: As technology progresses, individuals will be increasingly expected to solve digital tasks. At the same time, many worry that a high use of connected devices will reduce young people's ability to perform with accuracy long cognitively challenging tasks online. Methods: We examine whether 15-year-old students' ability to accurately…

Core and capital mentoring relationships have been demonstrated to be distinct types of relationships that have different characteristics, qualities of the relationship, and are linked to different outcomes among adolescents more generally. The present study adds to this growing literature base by examining whether this typology captures well the…

Recent work indicates clinically meaningful differences in domains of psychopathic personality -- such as grandiose-manipulative (GM), callous-unemotional (CU), and daring-impulsive (DI) traits -- and parenting factors. Yet, different domains of parenting and reports from multiple informants may vary in their associations to psychopathic traits.…

As educators who provide support to individuals with ASD, our primary goal should be to teach the skills necessary to live as independently as possible. As critically important as these skills are, teaching independent living skills can sometimes be challenging when motivation is low. These issues become even more complicated as individuals get…

This research explores the role of sports initiatives, both within and outside educational settings, in the integration of Ukrainian war refugees in Austria, Germany, and England. By analyzing interviews with ten refugees, the study investigates how sports activities influence key aspects of integration, including social cohesion, a sense of…

The study examined the relationship between teacher support and reading performance via the multiple mediation effects of reading engagement (emotional engagement and cognitive engagement). Data were extracted from Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) 2018, with a sample of 171,429 adolescents from 5,692 schools across 22…

Autistic youth demonstrate an overestimation of competencies when compared with neurotypical (NT) peers. Research has also shown NT males/boys tend to overestimate their competencies more than NT females/girls. This study assessed sex differences in autistic youths' overestimations on academic self-perception variables. Notably, 127 (70 male)…

Menstrual symptoms may negatively impact academic achievement, but rigorous population-based studies are lacking. 2,698 participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) self-reported heavy or prolonged bleeding and menstrual pain during adolescence and multivariable regression were used to estimate associations with…

Autistic youth experience elevated rates of co-occurring internalizing symptoms. Interventions to treat internalizing symptoms in autistic youth are almost uniformly costly and time-intensive, blunting dissemination of intervention and highlighting the need for scalable solutions. One promising option is a relatively new class of evidence-based…

Background: This study aims to systematically synthesise qualitative research findings regarding the sexual development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) from the perspective of their parents. Method: A comprehensive search across seven databases identified 15 studies on parents' experiences regarding the sexual development of…
