Associations among Covid-19 family stress, family functioning and child weight status through energy-related behaviours of children
This study examines the impact of COVID-19 family stress on family functioning and children’s energy-related behaviours, including diet, physical activity, and screen time, as well as their weight status. Data were collected in 2022 from parents of U.S. children aged 5–12 (mean ages: boys 8.36, girls 7.65) using the Prolific platform. Path analysis and child gender-based multi-group analysis revealed that higher COVID-19 family stress was related…
Associations among Covid-19 Family Stress, Family Functioning, and Child Health-Related Quality of Life through Lifestyle Behaviors in Children
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in lasting effects on children, necessitating a thorough understanding of its impact for effective recovery planning. This study investigated the associations among COVID-19 family stress, family functioning, children's lifestyle behaviors (i.e., healthy food intake, unhealthy food intake, physical activity, and screen time), and their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Data from a 2022 survey of parents wi…
Young Adults with a History of Residential Youth Care
Adults with a history of living in residential youth care (RYC) face elevated risks across various life domains. In this cohort profile paper, we outline the design of a comprehensive follow-up study-the VINGO study-targeting young adults (22-30 years) with a history of living in RYC (T2). We describe the recruitment strategy and present sample characteristics. Data were collected in the baseline study (T1) from 2011 to 2014. At T1, the 400 adole…
Associations of Broader Parental Factors with Children’s Happiness and Weight Status through Child Food Intake, Physical Activity, and Screen Time
This study investigated how broader parental factors including parental happiness, parental play engagement, and parenting stress are related to Korean children's happiness and weight status across three years via indirect pathways through the children's energy-related behaviors of healthy and unhealthy food intake, physical activity, and screen time. Data from 1551 Korean parent pairs and 7-year-old children in the Panel Study on Korean Children…
Change Over 11–13 Year Periods in Quality of Life, Emotional Problems and Negative Stressful Life Events Among 13–17 Year Old Students
Studies investigating changes in the general population over time concerning adolescent self-reported Quality of life (QoL) are sparse. The aim of this study is to investigate stability and change over more than a decade in self-reported QoL, emotional problems, and negative stressful life-events among students. Three large cross-sectional samples (N = 1032, 4744 and 3826) of 13-17-year-old adolescents attending public school in the Norwegian Cou…
Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Among Adolescents
The objective was to examine the associations of socioecological connectedness with bullying victimization and depressive symptoms in early adolescence and with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in mid-adolescence, and how these might differ between genders. Diverse adolescents (N = 4115; 49.1% girls) in the 7th grade reported on connections with parents/family, peers, school, and neighborhood, as well as bullying victimization and depressive sympt…
Perceived Social Support and Symptom Loads of Psychiatric Disorders among Adolescents in Residential Youth Care
Adolescents in residential youth care (RYC) are at high risk for negative psychological and social development outcomes, as they have a high prevalence of mental health problems and perceive less social support than adolescents in the general population. Associations between perceived social support and mental health problems have been investigated, but no in-depth analyses have been published. Such knowledge is crucial to optimize vulnerable ado…
Gender and racial/ethnic differences in adolescent intentions and willingness to smoke cigarettes
Dual-process theories may be effective at predicting adolescent smoking; however, little is known about the effectiveness of these models across race/ethnicity and gender. Adolescents ( N = 4035) completed biopsychosocial and tobacco-related perception measures in Grade 7 and reported on smoking initiation in Grade 10. Using structural equation modeling and comparing models by gender and race/ethnicity showed differences, where both intentions an…

Perceived social support among adolescents in Residential Youth Care
Social support may be of particular importance for vulnerable adolescents' development and health and can help them to cope with stressful life events. However, knowledge of perceived social support among adolescents in Residential Youth Care (RYC) is sparse. The present study therefore aimed to investigate perceived social support among adolescents in Norwegian RYC ( N = 304, mean age 16.3 years, girls 57.2%), using a short form of the Social Su…

Regular physical activity has differential association with reduced obesity among diverse youth in the United States
This study examined whether daily or almost daily lower-intensity physical activity was associated with reduced obesity, among 4824 African American, Hispanic, and White youth assessed in fifth and seventh grades. Regular lower-intensity physical activity was associated with reduced obesity only among Hispanic and White males and only in seventh grade, and not among youth in fifth grade, females, or African American males or females. Findings fro…
The long-term effects of being bullied or a bully in adolescence on externalizing and internalizing mental health problems in adulthood
BACKGROUND: The aim is to examine associations between bullying involvement in adolescence and mental health problems in adulthood. METHODS: Information on bullying-involvement (being bullied, bully-victim, aggressive toward others) and non-involved was collected from 2464 adolescents in Mid-Norway at mean age 13.7 and again at mean age 14.9. Information about mental health problems and psychosocial functioning was collected about 12 years later …
How Does Physical Activity Intervention Improve Self-Esteem and Self-Concept in Children and Adolescents? Evidence from a Meta-Analysis
Familial aggregation of anxiety and depression in the community
These findings suggest that children of parents with anxiety/depression problems are at a sustained risk for mental health problems due to the apparent 10-year stability of both maternal and paternal anxiety/depression. Thus, preventing familial aggregation of these problems as early as possible seems vital. The associations between parental and offspring anxiety/depression were partially mediated by offspring self-esteem and were moderated by ph…

Do Social Resources Protect Against Lower Quality of Life Among Diverse Young Adolescents
We examined whether social resources from the family and the community moderate the risk associated with low socioeconomic status (SES) for reduced quality of life (QL) among youth across racial/ethnic groups. Data were from 4,824 fifth-grade youth (age [Formula: see text] = 11.1, SD = 0.6; 49% females) in the Healthy PassagesTM study (2004-2006) located in Birmingham, Alabama; Los Angeles County, California; and Houston, Texas. Youth reported th…

The importance of behavioral and cognitive factors in heterosexual-social anxiety1
Subject groups were classified on the basis of behavioral ratings for degree of anxiety exhibited and level of social skill displayed during a simulated dating interaction. Subjects were then asked to view and evaluate their own skill performance and the performance of bogus subjects during the same interaction when presented on videotapes. All subject groups were accurate in rating the performance of bogus subjects during the same interaction wh…
A Generalizability Study of the Conners' Teacher Rating Scale-Revised
The hyperactivity scale of the Conners' Teacher Rating Scale-Revised (CTRS-R) was investigated to compare teachers' use of this instrument to its use by independent classroom observers. Results of this study indicate that teacher ratings of children are highly stable over time. Independent observers agree with one another within an occasion both within a classroom and across classrooms; however, observations based on a one-hour period are not sta…
