Housing instability over time and mental health among sexual and gender minority adolescents in the United States
Policies and Practices to Strengthen Youth Mental Health, Academic Success, and Economic Mobility in Mixed-Income Neighborhoods and Schools
Economic integration can combat high and rising inequality, but young people from economically disadvantaged backgrounds do not automatically benefit from mixed-income neighborhoods and schools. According to this research synthesis, although mixed-income settings can increase upward mobility, exposure to higher-income peers may have negative effects on mental and behavioral health, especially during adolescence. Policies should aim to maximize th…
Neighborhood social environments and mental health among youth and adults in public housing
Neighborhoods influence health in part through social processes. However, little is known about how multiple neighborhood social processes co‐occur, or about within (vs. between) neighborhood variation in social processes and health. This study asked how residents of a large public housing development describe their neighborhood and used latent profile analysis to develop profiles of residents according to their social environment perceptions ( N…
A Rising Tide Does Not Lift All Boats
Gentrification is increasingly common, yet the developmental implications of growing up in a gentrifying neighborhood are not well understood. Using longitudinal data from North Carolina ( n = 231,346), this study found small positive associations between living in a gentrifying (vs. non-gentrifying) low-income neighborhood and high school GPA and intentions to pursue higher education. Effects were observed only among white youth and those who we…
Direct and indirect pathways linking gentrification to adolescent reading and math achievement via educational aspirations and psychological distress
This study examined how living in a gentrifying neighborhood may impact adolescents' reading and math achievement via educational aspirations and psychological distress and asked whether these pathways differ according to socioeconomic status and race. A framework combining theories of adolescent development and neighborhood effects was empirically tested using a racially diverse sample of adolescents living in urban neighborhoods in North Caroli…
You’ve made it if you can, not have to live to survive, but live to live
It's not what you say it's what you do
This study examined the relation between schools' color-evasive versus multicultural diversity ideologies, school characteristics, and adolescent development. Across two datasets linking individual-level survey data (N = 1692) and administrative records (N = 300,063; M age = 12.4, 52% female, 48% male), schools' stated support for diversity (via a pro-diversity mission statement) was related to adolescent mental health and academic achievement, b…
The rich get richer? Children’s reasoning about socioeconomic status predicts inclusion and resource bias
Children's socioeconomic status (SES) is linked to disparate access to resources and affects social behaviors such as inclusion and resource allocations. Yet it is unclear whether children's essentialized view of SES (i.e., believing SES is immutable) or subjective social status (SSS) influences behavioral biases toward high- versus low-SES peers. We measured 4- to 9-year-old children's SES essentialism and SSS to test whether these predict inclu…
Supporting child and family resilience in the face of political violence
Political violence affects more than 25% of children globally, yet little is known about how to support positive adaptation among conflict-affected children. Using a sample of 3797 Nicaraguan child-caregiver dyads (M AgeTime1 = 1.5 years, M AgeTime2 = 5.9 years; 51% male), this registered report used a novel quasi-experimental approach to examine how exposure to political violence relates to child and caregiver outcomes, and to test three policy-…
Evaluation of Second- and Third-Level Variance Proportions in Multilevel Designs With Completely Observed Populations
Two- and three-level designs in educational and psychological research can involve entire populations of Level-3 and possibly Level-2 units, such as schools and educational districts nested within a given state, or neighborhoods and counties in a state. Such a design is of increasing relevance in empirical research owing to the growing popularity of large-scale studies in these and cognate disciplines. The present note discusses a readily applica…
Violencia de pareja y desarrollo infantil temprano
Objetivos. Describir la prevalencia de diferentes tipos de violencia por parte de la pareja íntima, y estimar cómo esta se relaciona con el desarrollo infantil de los niños expuestos, en un país de bajos ingresos en América Latina. También estimamos la relación entre la violencia por parte de la pareja íntima y las prácticas de cuidado infantil, incluyendo el uso de castigo físico. Métodos. Se hizo un estudio observacional, utilizando datos recol…
Effect of daily school and care disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic on child behavior problems
The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected American families and children, including through the closure or change in the nature of their care and school settings. As the pandemic has persisted, many children remain in remote schooling and those attending in-person childcare or school have contended with unpredictable closures. This study investigated the frequency and consequences of disruptions to children's childcare and school arrangements dur…
Young Adolescents’ Endorsement of Restrictive Gender Norms
This study investigated attitudes toward restrictive gender norms among adolescents in Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone (pooled N = 1,793, M age(baseline) = 10.3, M age(follow-up) = 11.6, 50% boys/girls). We examined individual and contextual predictors of gender attitudes, assessed change in gender attitudes over 2 years, and estimated the effect of a community-based norms diffusion intervention. Multiple regression analyses revealed that being a …
