Parent–Child Communication and Early Adolescents' Coping Strategies
To examine whether parent–child communication, measured separately for mothers and fathers, directly influences the coping strategies (active, distraction, and problem‐focused) used by early adolescents, and whether this association was mediated by sibling support. Parent–child relationship has been found to influence the coping strategies that children use. Additionally, according to Family Systems theory, sibling relationships are an integral p…
How does work affect fathers' daily interaction with adolescents? An expanded self‐regulation perspective
The management of the daily rhythm of work and childrearing, two central responsibilities of working fathers, has received limited research attention. Drawing from an expanded self‐regulation perspective, this study seeks to understand the within‐person depletion and compensation mechanisms that explain how fathers' daily work experiences spillover to influence their next‐day parenting interactions. We also posit that actual childrearing support …
Social Media Use and Early Adolescents’ Academic Achievement
Research investigating social media use typically focus on late adolescents and young adults, despite a growing number of early adolescents, 93% to 97%—having at least one social media platform. Also, early adolescents are more likely to engage with newer sites, such as Snapchat and Instagram, than older platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Given the evolving landscape of social media, the present study examines the impact of the use of variou…

Within-person Changes in Co-rumination and Rumination in Adolescence
Introduction to the Special Issue
Modeling heterogeneity in the simultaneous emotional costs and social benefits of co-rumination
Co-rumination is the act of perseverating on problems or negative emotions with another person. Past research has shown that co-rumination has tradeoffs, as it is related to more anxiety and depressive symptoms, yet also heightened feelings of closeness and better relationship quality. However, there has been little repeated measures work, leaving unknown the influence of within-person changes in co-rumination on individuals' functioning. Using d…

Bidirectional Relationships Between School Connectedness and Internalizing Symptoms During Early Adolescence
School connectedness is an important feature to consider within the school environment because it likely accounts for why some youth thrive and others struggle with internalizing problems. Furthermore, internalizing problems typically do not occur in isolation of each other, but rather anxiety and depressive symptoms frequently co-occur and increase subsequent risk for each other. As such, the primary study objectives were to (a) evaluate the bid…
