The Protective Role of Grit against Alcohol and Cannabis Use through Young Adulthood
Introduction: Problematic substance use in young adulthood is consistently related to negative outcomes later in life. Understanding the factors that protect against problematic substance provides opportunities for early preventive intervention. We examine the protective role of grit – passion and perseverance for long-term goals – on substance use through young adulthood, a period of heightening risks for substance use. Methods: In this research…
Socially responsible children
Positive perceptions of school climate are associated with lower frequency of peer victimization and aggression in children. Understanding how school climate influences aggression and victimization is essential to guiding school-level interventions to enhance character strengths such as social responsibility. In this short-term longitudinal study, we test a theoretical model arguing that children’s social responsibility mediates the links between…
Co-Use of Alcohol and Cannabis
Increases in cannabis use among young people has heightened concern about the potential interactive health effects of cannabis with other drugs. We examined the longitudinal association between concurrent and simultaneous (SAM) co-use of alcohol and cannabis in young adulthood on mental health symptoms, substance use behaviors, and substance-related harms two years later. Data were drawn from Time 5 (T5; n = 464; 46% male) and 6 (T6; n = 478; 45%…
Male-Dominated Occupations and Substance Use Disorders in Young Adulthood
This article examined associations between male-dominated occupations and substance use disorders in young adulthood, accounting for adolescent experiences of work intensity (more than 15 hr a week at 16 to 17 years of age) and substance use (i.e., smoking, heavy drinking, cannabis, and illicit drug use). The moderating effects of biological sex and coming from a family with a low socioeconomic status (SES) were also assessed. Data were from a 10…
Disruption of Transitions in High-Risk Substance Use from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
Background: Few studies have examined social-contextual moderators of substance use transitions from adolescence to young adulthood. A better understanding of the extent to which school, employment, and romantic relationships can disrupt high-risk use patterns could inform strategies for substance use prevention and treatment.Objective: The current study examines the extent school, employment, and relationship factors can disrupt transition in hi…
Changes in positive and negative peer influences and depressive symptoms from adolescence to young adulthood
INTRODUCTION: Peers are believed to continue as prominent sources of influence for young adults. However, having peers who use alcohol and drugs is associated with depressive symptoms in young adults and research on the effects of having peers who model positive activities beyond adolescence is scarce. METHOD: In this 10-year study of 644 Canadian youth (52% female), we used multilevel modeling to examine the effects of within-person and between-…
Trajectories of peer victimization in elementary school children
The current study examines the developmental changes (internalizing and externalizing symptoms, social competence, and experiences of school climate) in children who follow distinct trajectories of peer victimization in a sample of elementary school children across 2 years. Data were from children, and their parents and teachers, in Grades 1–3 followed across five waves. Latent class analyses revealed four distinct victimization trajectory groups…
Changes in Parental Emotional Support and Psychological Control in Early Adulthood
Early adulthood is a critical period during which real-world adjustment sets the stage for lifelong well-being. However, little is known about how the emotional quality of parental relationships may help or hinder adjustment. This longitudinal study investigated (a) changes in mother and father emotional support and psychological control during early adulthood, (b) whether such changes predicted young adults’ educational and occupational adjustme…
Pathways to romantic relational aggression through adolescent peer aggression and heavy episodic drinking
Adolescent peer aggression is a well-established correlate of romantic relational aggression; however, the mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Heavy episodic drinking (or "binge" alcohol use) was examined as both a prior and concurrent mediator of this link in a sample of 282 12-18 year old interviewed four times over 6 years. Path analyses indicated that early peer relational and physical aggression each uniquely predicted later …
Enhancing Social Responsibility and Prosocial Leadership to Prevent Aggression, Peer Victimization, and Emotional Problems in Elementary School Children
Testing the theories that form the basis of prevention programs can enhance our understanding of behavioral change and inform the development, coordination, and adaptation of prevention programs. However, theories of change showing the linkages from intervention program components to risk or protective factors to desired outcomes across time are rarely specified or tested. In this 2‐year longitudinal study, we test the theory that increases in tw…
Planning for Sustainability of an Evidence‐Based Mental Health Promotion Program in Canadian Elementary Schools
Substantial research illuminates many factors effecting the implementation of evidence‐based mental health promotion programs in schools; however, research on how schools plan for sustaining their investments in these programs is limited. In this qualitative study, we elicited descriptions of opportunities and challenges for sustainability. We interviewed 24 individuals from schools involved in a longitudinal, qualitative research project that fo…
The Effect of Types of Postsecondary Education on Drinking
Using longitudinal data from early adolescence through young adulthood, this study examined the association between different types of postsecondary education (PSE), age of enrollment in PSE, and the trajectory of alcohol use for Canadian young adults ( N = 521). Trajectories of alcohol use were compared across young adults at 2-year colleges, 4-year universities, transfer programs (started at a 2-year college and transferred to a 4-year universi…
Peer Victimization and Internalizing Symptoms From Adolescence Into Young Adulthood
This longitudinal study investigated how changes in peer victimization were associated with changes in internalizing symptoms among 662 adolescents across a 4-year period. The moderating effects of initial levels of father, mother, and friend emotional support on this association were also examined. Gender and age group differences (early adolescent group aged 12-15 years; late adolescent group aged 16-18 years) were tested. Increases in physical…
Multicomponent programs for reducing peer victimization in early elementary school
Past research demonstrates the promise of multicomponent programs in reducing peer victimization and bullying in older elementary and middle school children, however little research focuses on young children. The current study examines the effectiveness of the WITS Primary program on trajectories of victimization and social responsibility in children in Grades 1 to 3 (n=830). A quasi-experimental design is used to compare schools with well-establ…

Relational Processes in Adolescent and Adult Dialogues
Research on the influence of dialogue on cognitive and moral development has typically evaluated peers’ efforts to achieve a consensus given initially conflicting viewpoints. Focusing solely on this conflict-consensus model may, however, obscure differences in relational processes. An investigation of relational processes evident in the transactive statements of adult and adolescent, same-sex, peer dialogues is described. Group differences in rel…
The Problem of the Other in Research on Theory of Mind and Social Development
Comparison of research on theory of mind and research on social development yields divergent conclusions regarding young children’s awareness of the nature of the internal states of others. This divergence partially reflects methodological differences between the two paradigms, but also more fundamental differences in researchers’ framing of the problem of understanding others’ mental states as either an intrapsychic or an interpersonal process, …

Adults make a difference
This longitudinal study investigated the associations between peer victimization and maladaptive outcomes (emotional and behavioral problems) among 580 adolescents concurrently and across a 2‐year period, and proposed that adult emotional support moderated this association. Peer victimization and maladaptive outcomes were assessed from adolescents' self‐reports. Adult emotional support was measured from adolescents' ratings of parent and teacher …
The Resolution of Relativism in Adult Thinking
Researchers in cognitive development have suggested that adult thinking becomes more functional, contextual, or relativistic; however, considerable diversity pervades conceptualizations of this relativism. This diversity, in fact, reflects differences in the theorists’ beliefs about the contextual constraints on relativism in the later stages of adult thinking. These constraints are differentiated as examples of Mandelbaum’s subjective, objective…
Social‐cognitive Competence, Peer Rejection and Neglect, and Behavioral and Emotional Problems in Middle Childhood
This prospective, longitudinal study examines individual differences in two conceptually related but empirically distinct domains of social‐cognitive competence (cognitive interpretive understanding and interpersonal perspective co‐ordination) as moderators of the relation between peer rejection and neglect and behavioral and emotional problems in grades 2 and 3. As expected, peer rejection and neglect increased risks for behavioral and emotional…
Victimization and Relational Aggression in Adolescent Romantic Relationships
Managing Threat
Peer victimization has been linked concurrently and over time with multiple adjustment problems. However, the reasons for this multi‐finality in victimization are not well understood. The current study examines social‐cognitive processes (hostile attributions, social perspective awareness, and interpersonal skills) as mediators of the relations between subtypes of peer victimization (relational, physical) and depression and anxiety, social withdr…

A multivariate model of gender differences in adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems
Gender-Linked Vulnerabilities to Depressive Symptoms, Stress, and Problem Behaviors in Adolescents
Ample research has shown that female adolescents endorse more internalizing and fewer externalizing symptoms than do male adolescents, but explanations for these gender differences have not been forthcoming. In this review, we integrated research findings of gender differences in subtypes of depressive vulnerabilities and in reactivity to stressful life events involving the self or others in order to suggest possible explanations of gender differ…

Quality of mother–toddler interactions, maternal depressive symptoms, and behavior problems in preschoolers of adolescent mothers
Longitudinal data for 63 inner-city African American and Puerto Rican adolescent mothers and their firstborn children were used to examine the relations among (a) level of maternal depressive symptoms reported in the first year postpartum and at 28 to 36 months postpartum, (b) mother-toddler conflict and contingent (reciprocal) responses observed in play interactions at 20 months, and (c) maternal reports of child problem behaviors at 28 to 36 mo…
Relational Victimization and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence
The Effects of Family, School, and Classroom Ecologies on Changes in Children's Social Competence and Emotional and Behavioral Problems in First Grade
This study tested the independent and interactive influences of classroom (concentrations of peer prosocial behaviors and victimization), family (household moves, mothers' education), and school (proportion of students receiving income assistance) ecologies on changes in children's social competence (e.g., interpersonal skills, leadership abilities), emotional problems (e.g., anxious, withdrawn behaviors), and behavioral problems (e.g., disruptiv…
Victimization and Relational Aggression in Adolescent Romantic Relationships
Game On
While research shows that low levels of social acceptance and elevated body dissatisfaction increase risks for depressive symptoms among both girls and boys, little is known about protective factors that can mediate these risks. We test the hypothesis that positive team sports involvement mediates the effects of these risks on depression in a cross‐sectional study involving a diverse group of 449 Canadian students (49.7% girls) recruited from gra…

Sex differences in the personal costs and benefits of relational and physical aggression in high school
While recent research using peer ratings demonstrates positive relations between youth's reputations for aggression and popularity, it is not clear whether aggressive youth themselves make these links. Using youth's self‐reports, this study assessed the associations of relational and physical aggression with indicators of both personal gains in peer relations (perceived popularity and receipt of prosocial attention) and personal costs in terms of…

Changing contexts? The effects of a primary prevention program on classroom levels of peer relational and physical victimization
Whereas school‐based prevention programs often target deficits in individual children's social skills in order to limit their aggression or exposure to peer victimization, there is increasing evidence that school‐wide and classroom‐level factors can also affect the success of these programs. This short‐term longitudinal study involved 432 elementary school students from 44 classrooms in 17 urban schools. We investigated whether classroom characte…

Gender‐linked Risks for Peer Physical and Relational Victimization in the Context of School‐level Poverty in First Grade
In a short‐term longitudinal study of 432 first‐grade children, we examined whether gender interacted with contextual differences (school‐level poverty) and individual differences at school entry (behavioral problems, emotional problems, and social competence) to predict changes in peer physical and relational victimization and receipt of prosocial acts. Gender differences in peer victimization were observed in schools with low levels of student …

Predicting School Outcomes for Minority Group Adolescent Mothers
With 120 inner-city, Black and Hispanic adolescent mothers, we investigated demographic, academic, and psychosocial predictors (assessed at 3 weeks postpartum) of their delayed grade placement by 12 months postpartum. Mothers were also classified based on school attendance before pregnancy and up to 12 months postpartum, as continuous attenders, returners, before-pregnancy dropouts, and after-pregnancy dropouts. Differences in subgroup profiles w…

Urban Girls
Sociologists have tried to analyze adolescents as long as the discipline has existed. However, most studies have focused on suburban youth, ignoring a large segment of the population, the urban adolescent. Urban Girls tries to reverse this trend. The researchers included in this ambitious project realize there is more to adolescence than the suburban experience. The city has unique effects on the people who live there, and they on it. Drawing on …

Maternal social support patterns and child maltreatment
Compared to demographically matched mothers, maltreating mothers listed fewer friends in their social support networks, reported less contact with friends, and gave lower ratings of quality of support received from friends. Maternal depressive symptoms, quality of current relationships, and social support from friends were each independently associated with maltreatment status in logistic regression analysis. Implications for intervention and res…
Characteristics and Homogeneity of Early Adolescent Friendship Groups
The goals of this study were to examine gender differences in the adaptive and maladaptive characteristics of clique membership and in clique homogeneity. We compared the characteristics of clique members with liaisons, dyads, and isolates across 3 domains: peer relationships, problem behaviors, and school adjustment. Our sample consisted of 499 sixth and seventh graders (53% 6th graders, 51% girls, 49% Non-Hispanic White, 26% Hispanic, 22% Afric…
School Social Climate and Individual Differences in Vulnerability to Psychopathology among Middle School Students
Growing Up Fast
In this book the authors examine in depth the lives of inner-city adolescent mothers, going beyond stereotypes to illuminate the diverse pathways to young adulthood taken by these young women. The different ways they respond to becoming a parent reflect a range of abilities, aspirations, and supports. Their often-creative solutions to living in poverty, the intensity of their desires to make their children's lives better, the height of their yout…

Gender differences in and risk factors for depression in adolescence
The current study used longitudinal data (N 1/4 1322; 648 males, 674 females) from adolescents ages 12 to 19 years (in 1994) to investigate gender differences in and risk factors for depressive symptoms and major depressive episodes (MDEs). The sample had participated in three waves of Canada’s National Population Health Survey (1994, 1996, and 1998). Results showed that although there was not a statistically significant increase in depressive sy…
