Parental and Social Factors Predict Thriving During the Transition to University
This study investigated, through an attachment theoretical lens, the relationship between first-year university students’ personal and academic adjustment and 3 psychosocial resources: parental attachment, student resources (parental support, social support, ways of reducing loneliness, emotion regulation, coping strategies, locus of control), and gender. Participants answered questionnaires relating to their psychosocial resources and post-secon…
Adolescent Attachment, Affect, and Behavior as Related to Coping Responses to a Psychosocial Stressor
Adolescents’ moral reasoning when honesty and loyalty collide
According to moral pluralism theory, people practice moral reasoning based on several fundamental dimensions, including honesty and loyalty. As individuals navigate increasingly complex social worlds over development, they may face the dilemmas where honesty collides with loyalty. In the current study, adolescents (15‐ to 18‐year‐olds, N = 203) in a western, multicultural Canadian city read moral dilemmas involving a protagonist learning that an …
Gender Norms and Culture in Asian-Canadian Adolescent Boys’ Anticipating Dating Relationships
Adolescent romantic experiences can have profound developmental significance and may be predictive of future romantic relationships. Despite such potential significance, little is known about the challenges that confront teenage boys when navigating dating relationships. The present study sought to understand how masculine gender norms influence boys’ attitudes and behaviors and the influence of cultural expectations as they anticipate prospectiv…

Examples of agency included …
Scaffolding one Thai youth’s drawing toward resilience
Drawings have been used extensively to explore the psychosocial development of children and youth. Focusing on the drawings of one thriving migrant Thai adolescent, this case study employs multiple sources of data from this youth to ground an integrated interpretation of his resilient processes in ecological context. Our participant, ‘Pond’, had recently relocated to northern Thailand with his father. Employing reflective interviews with the teen…
Development of Cultural Perspectives on Verbal Deception in Competitive Contexts
Verbal deception may be considered morally reprehensible or acceptable depending on culturally relevant contextual factors and ethical perspectives. In the current study, Euro-Canadian ( n = 180) and Han Chinese ( n = 180) children ages 8 to 16 were recruited to investigate their moral evaluations of lying and truth-telling in competitive situations. The participants classified a story character's statement told to either harm or help themselves …
Co-constructing family identities through young children’s telephone-mediated narrative exchanges
This article explores telephone interactions between young children and adult family members as contributing insights to the co-construction of identities within both the nuclear and the extended family. The authors deploy methods of linguistic ethnography to enrich the scope of interpreting the data beyond textual analysis. The study’s premise was that intimate relatives have knowledgeable appreciation of their child’s affective and cognitive wo…
Visual Perspectives on Majority‐World Adolescent Thriving
This paper offers socio‐ecological, situated perspectives on adolescent resilience derived from an application of interpretive visual methodologies to deepen understanding of adaptive youth development in diverse majority‐world cultural contexts ( S outh A frica, T hailand, C hina, M exican migration to C anada). The research is not “cross‐cultural”; by contrast, it situates youth engagement contextually, using local perspectives, especially pers…
Cultural Differences in Moral Justifications Enhance Understanding of Chinese and Canadian Children's Moral Decisions
Chinese, Chinese-Canadian, and Euro-Canadian children 7, 9, and 11 years of age were presented scenarios in which story characters either lied or told the truth to help themselves but harm a collective, or vice versa. Children classified, evaluated, and justified their evaluations of the truthful or untruthful statements in each scenario. Cultural differences emerged in the children's evaluations but were especially apparent in their justificatio…
Identities as protective processes
Identity formations are critical developmental accomplishments in negotiating resilience. They involve establishing cohesive senses of self and appraisals of inherent personal strengths and weaknesses in contexts of environmental offerings. Further, identity processes call upon understanding the collective beliefs and values of one's community. Using Day in the Life semi-naturalistic videos, photo elicitation and interview data, we observed four …
A 'Day in the Lives' of Four Resilient Youths
Grounded in the examples of four impoverished, relocated youths (two Sesotho-speaking orphans in South Africa and two Mexican immigrants in Canada), we explore cultural factors as potential roots of resilience. We triangulate rich qualitative findings (visual, dialogical, and observational) to foreground the particular, as well as acknowledge the universal, in explicating resilience in transitional contexts. Resilience-promoting cultural practice…

Resilient Youths Use Humor to Enhance Socioemotional Functioning During a Day in the Life
In order to extend previous early years humor research into early adolescence, the authors adapted an innovative ecological research method such that at-risk adolescents could be filmed during an entire waking day in their life. Community youth advocates nominated one 15-year-old female and one 14-year-old male as doing well despite adverse circumstances. We examined the types and functions of these youths’ humor within their social contexts. The…

Telephone-mediated communication effects on young children’s oral and written narratives
This study tested the effectiveness of a telephone-mediated language intervention on enhancing young children’s recontextualization processes in narrative expression. A four-week training program was incorporated into a primary school language-arts curriculum to investigate whether telephone experience designed to heighten listener awareness would augment oral and written narrative skill development. Findings supported predictions that telephone …
Cross-cultural differences in children's choices, categorizations, and evaluations of truths and lies
This study examined cross-cultural differences and similarities in children's moral understanding of individual- or collective-oriented lies and truths. Seven-, 9-, and 11-year-old Canadian and Chinese children were read stories about story characters facing moral dilemmas about whether to lie or tell the truth to help a group but harm an individual or vice versa. Participants chose to lie or to tell the truth as if they were the character (Exper…
Studying Resilience Across Cultures

Chinese and Canadian Adults' Categorization and Evaluation of Lie- and Truth-Telling about Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors
This study examined cross-cultural differences in Chinese and Canadian adults' concepts and moral evaluations of lying and truth-telling about prosocial and antisocial behaviors. Although Canadian adults categorized lies concealing one's prosocial deeds as lies, their Chinese counterparts did not. Also, Chinese adults rated deception in such situations positively while rating truth-telling in the same situations negatively. These cross-cultural d…
Frog, where are you? Children's narrative expression over the telephone
Many researchers believe that the use of distanced language is at the core of the transition to literacy and that reading and writing are consummate acts of this distancing, or decontextualization. Talking on the telephone offers an ecologically valid intermediate context to ascertain developmental components of such metacommunicative awareness as the need to be clear to communicative partners to compensate for their physical distance. Children's…

Student Suicide and College Administrators
One-third of college student deaths are the result of suicide and the rate is rising. The extent of the problem and warning signals have been well documented. This research study hypothesized a gap between published fact and administrator perception of the student suicide problem. A random survey of deans of students in California suggests considerable ignorance and/or apathy. A major implication is that college personnel, with the power to provi…
Development of Sorting Skills in Elementary School Children
Vygotsky (1962) has described the course of human cognitive growth, stating that children classify first “syncretically”, then “complexively”, and ultimately “conceptually”. The only chronological milestone which he specifies is puberty, at which time the potential for true conceptual behavior is believed to have developed. This study identifies Vygotsky's phases of conceptual development in normal school aged children. It also examines his assum…
Medium effects on children's story rewriting and story retelling
As part of a longitudinal study of the development of literacy skills, seven-year-old children wrote and told stories previously read to them. This partial replication of Geva & Olson (1983) examined the charac teristics of story rewriting by hand and by computer, as well as oral story retelling, and their relationships with reading comprehension. The productions of these second graders were comparable to Geva & Olson's six-year-olds' story retel…
