Looking Towards the Future in the Covid-19 Context
The uncertainty that surrounded the COVID-19 pandemic played a key role in the mental health experienced by people during that period. The present study examined the relation between future time perspective and mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether intolerance of uncertainty may play a mediating role in this relation. A sample of 349 university students ( M age = 23.57, 87.4% females) completed scales assessing future …
Children’s perceived parental control and academic achievement during the Covid-19 pandemic
Assessing Safe Haven and Secure Base Support in Preadolescence
The 15‐item version of the Security Scale Questionnaire (SSQ), primarily capturing parent's safe haven support, is the most valid self‐report measure of attachment security for preadolescence. Recently, nine items assessing secure base support were added. This study aimed to further validate the 24‐item version of the SSQ by evaluating measurement invariance across three cultures, child gender and age, and mother‐child and father‐child relationsh…
The longitudinal relation between time perspective and preventive behaviors during the Covid-19 pandemic
“Thank You for Your Good Work”
Previous literature suggests that receiving gratitude in the workplace might have beneficial outcomes for the employees; however, the research linking received gratitude to employees' motivation is scant. In this study, we aimed to examine the relations between employees' received gratitude and their controlled and autonomous motivation, as well as amotivation at work. Drawing on the self-determination theory, we also explored whether the frustra…
Still worried? Parental control and academic competence as antecedents of middle school students' post‐transition worries
This study examined whether parental psychological control reported by children before the transition to middle school, in the second semester of the fourth grade, is associated with children's worries after the transition to middle school, in the first semester of the fifth grade. We also evaluated the mediating role of children's post-transition perceived academic competence and the moderating role of physical transition (changing schools) on t…
Weight stigma and mental health outcomes in early-adolescents. The mediating role of internalized weight bias and body esteem
Romanian early adolescents' perceptions of parental migration and the associated relational impact
Previous literature has emphasised the complexities of early children’s perceptions of parental migration based on socio-cultural factors and the associated relational impact due to separation. Until recently, research on transnational families positioned children left behind in the country of origin as passive actors of parental migration, and focused less on children’s relational voice or agency. The present study addressed this gap by qualitat…
The relation between time perspectives and well-being
Time perspective, risk perception on the road, and risky driving behavior
How trait gratitude relates to teachers’ burnout and work engagement
Mental Health among Young Adults during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study aimed to assess changes in COVID-19 related factors (i.e. risk perception, knowledge about the virus, preventive behaviors and perceived efficacy) and mental health (i.e. psychological distress and positive mental health), in a sample of Romanian young adults attending college, assessed immediately after the national COVID-19 lockdown ended (Time 1) and six months after the end of the lockdown (Time 2). We also evaluated the longitudin…
The road to addiction (might be) paved with good intentions
Relying on an extended functionalist perspective, in the present study we investigated how motives underlying social media use (i.e., conformity, social/the need for social relationships), coping (the need for mood regulation), and defensive motives (anti-mattering, i.e., the feeling of not mattering to others) are linked to early adolescents’ psychological distress. We also evaluated the potential mediating role of social media addiction in the …
Personality Traits and Time Perspectives
Adolescents’ perceptions of contextual factors
Children's anxiety, academic self‐efficacy, and intergenerational transmission of worries regarding the transition to middle school
BACKGROUND: Worries about school transition were related to poor academic adjustment during middle school. However, limited studies simultaneously investigated individual and contextual factors that may shape the children's reaction related to transition. AIMS: The first aim of this present study was to assess how children's anxiety and academic self-efficacy, including the parents' worries about school transition, are related to children's worri…
Depressive Symptoms and Academic Achievement
This present study, using a longitudinal design, investigated how depressive symptoms are related to academic achievement and whether the perceptions of teachers' and peers' behaviors moderated this relation. A sample of 302 adolescents (60.10% girls, M age = 17.35) completed scales measuring the depressive symptoms and perception of their teachers' support/equity and peers' cooperation/cohesiveness behaviors at Time 1. The adolescents' average g…
Depressive Symptoms and Achievement Goals
This present study investigated the longitudinal relations between depressive symptoms and achievement goals and whether maternal and paternal rejection moderated these relations. A sample of 436 early adolescents ([Formula: see text] age = 13.19, 58.33% girls) filled in scales measuring the depressive symptoms (Time 1), parental rejection (Time 2; 1 year later), and achievement goals (Time 2). Early adolescents’ depressive symptoms were positive…
Adolescents' subjective well-being
This study investigated the relations between adolescents' and their mothers' time perspectives and adolescents' subjective well-being. The sample included 104 adolescents (72.1% girls), aged between 15 and 17 years and their mothers ( M = 42.67, SD = 5.66). Adolescents completed scales measuring their life events, time perspective, depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Mothers also fill in a scale assessing their time perspective. The resul…
Children’s academic achievement and goal orientations
This study explored how ethnic membership relates to children’s academic achievement and goal orientations and whether there are ethnic differences in how goal orientations are linked to academic achievement. Further, we investigated whether these relations vary based on the geographical region where ethnic groups live. The sample included 361 children (179 girls), age 12–15 years, from two regions in Romania, Banat (n = 237) and Moldavia (n = 12…
Parent–Adolescent Attachment and Interpersonal Relationships in Sports Teams
Depressive Symptoms and Achievement Goals
