Intergroup, Intragroup, and Changing Best Friendships
Intergroup friendships are crucial to promote positive intergroup relations. However, it is less clear whether intragroup and intergroup best friendships are stable in adolescence and how they are intertwined with the development of prejudice and attitudes toward integration. The present study addressed these questions among ethnic majority and minority adolescents in Italy. Participants were 1,227 youth ( M age = 15.67, SD = 1.20, 47.34% female)…
Where is your best friend from? Implications of intragroup and intergroup friendships for adolescents’ identity and well-being
Nowadays, adolescents have increasing opportunities to interact with peers of their same and other ethnic groups. Yet, little is known about the implications of having an intragroup or intergroup best friend for the development of interpersonal identity processes (i.e., commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration) and its interplay with subjective, psychological, and social well-being. The current study aims to fill this gap. A total of…
Young Europeans – The Interplay between Short- and Medium-Term Development of European Identification Across Adolescence
Identification with the European group bears important implications for adjustment, intergroup processes, and civic participation. However, little is known about its development across different time scales in adolescence. The current study examined short- and medium-term developmental trajectories of European identification across two age cohorts separately and conjointly. Participants were 1552 Italian adolescents ( M age = 15.69, SD age = 1.22…
From inclusive schools to inclusive societies
Promoting Adolescents' Personal and Social Identities
This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to identify psychosocial interventions to enhance adolescents' and emerging adults' personal and social identities and assess their effectiveness. The review was pre-registered in PROSPERO. Eligible quasi-experimental studies and randomized control trials available as journal articles or gray literature (e.g. dissertations, reports) were searched using multiple strategies. By applying a two-step se…
What's Your Vocation? A Meta-Analysis of Interventions Tackling Youth Educational and Professional Identity
Choices related to educational and professional identity are critical in defining how adolescents and emerging adults find an area of study and a future occupation that may fit their interests, talents, and aspirations. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively identify psychosocial interventions promoting youth educational and professional identity and critically appraise their effectiveness. Studies could be published in any language and year…
A war on prejudice
INTRODUCTION: Ethnic prejudice poses a great challenge to the cohesion of current multicultural societies. Prior research has found that media portrayals of immigration-related issues might skew individual attitudes and feelings toward ethnic minorities. While these studies have focused on negative representations of ethnic minorities, less is known about the effects of media reports of unfortunate events affecting the victims of war, as in the c…
Parents' and classmates' influences on adolescents' ethnic prejudice
The family and classroom are important contexts that can contribute to the socialization of ethnic prejudice. However, less is known about their unique, relative, and synergic contributions in influencing youth's affective and cognitive prejudice. The current longitudinal study examined these processes and possible moderators among 688 Italian youth (49.13% girls; Mage = 15.61 years), their parents (nmothers = 603, nfathers = 471; Mage = 49.51 ye…
Exploring the self, others, and the world
Study abroad experiences can be an important asset for individuals’ personal development and well-being. However, their impact on social identity domains and prejudice is still unexplored. The current research examined whether the ways in which youth retrospectively narrate their abroad experiences in adolescence were intertwined with their national and European identity processes and ethnic prejudice. A total of 117 Italian youth (Mage = 22.71, …
The Role of Moral Disengagement, Self-Efficacy and Social-Anxiety in Secondary School Teachers’ Prejudice
Teachers play a crucial role in fostering inclusive school environments for students from diverse backgrounds. However, harboring prejudiced attitudes towards minority students can have adverse social and psychological effects on these individuals. This study investigates the ethnic and homophobic prejudice profiles of Italian secondary school teachers ( N = 552, M age = 46.15, 76.4% females) using a person-centered approach. It explores how thes…
When ethnic minorities hit the headlines
Ethnic prejudice poses great challenges to adolescents' adjustment to multicultural societies. However, little is known about the role of the media in influencing attitudes in adolescence. Combining information environment and ecological development theories, the current study examined the longitudinal associations between the quantity, valence (i.e., neutral, positive, and negative), and target (i.e., migrant, refugee, and foreigner) of the news…
Navigating Across Heritage and Destination Cultures
Personal identity and social identification processes can be challenging for adolescents belonging to an ethnic minority, who have to cope with the acculturation task of navigating several (and often conflictual) alternatives put forth by their cultural heritage community and destination society. Because identity and acculturation tasks are embedded in core domains of adolescents’ life, this three-wave longitudinal study with ethnic minority adol…
I was, I am, I will be
The ways in which youth reach a stable identity, a core developmental task of emerging adulthood, are intertwined with their perceptions of the past, present, and future. Additionally, these dynamics are embedded in and are strongly influenced by the socio-historical context and concurrent events, such as COVID-19. This study examines how different groups of emerging adults (university students and workers) engage in identity processes in educati…
The warm glow of kindness
Moral pride is a key component of virtue development. This study provides developmental insight into children's moral pride across cultures, and the potential for moral pride to underlie prosocial behavior. Participants included children and adolescents ages 6, 9, and 12 years from Canada ( n = 186; 50% girls; ethnically diverse sample), Japan ( n = 180; 48% girls), and a subsample from Italy ( n = 86; 54% girls), as well as their primary caregiv…
I Feel You!”
Empathic competences might help adolescents navigate current multicultural societies by supporting harmonious intergroup relations. Yet it is unclear how each component of empathy (empathic concern and perspective-taking) is associated with different dimensions (affective, cognitive, behavioral) of ethnic prejudice. The current study aims to fill this gap. A total of 259 Italian adolescents ( M age = 15.60, 87.6% female) completed online question…
