Family Communication Patterns, Emotion Suppression, and Coping: The Role of Conformity Orientation and Its Components
This study examined the relationship between family communication patterns (FCPs) in the family of origin, emotion suppression, and four common coping behaviors (drinking alcohol, masturbating, eating, and watching TV). Participants included 504 U.S. young adults (aged 18–30) raised in first-marriage families who responded to an online survey. Conformity orientation had positive, indirect effects on watching TV and eating to cope through emotion …
The Association Between Online Vicarious Racial/Ethnic Discrimination and Student Subjective Wellbeing During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
INTRODUCTION: The impact of online vicarious racial/ethnic discrimination on academic experiences among youth is an understudied area, especially during the shift to online learning due to COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of online vicarious racial/ethnic discrimination on student subjective wellbeing, as well as to examine whether that effect was exacerbated among online learning youth during the COVID-19 pandemi…
The effects of social media restriction: Meta-analytic evidence from randomized controlled trials
Calls to limit social media use permeate public discourse, with the fundamental assumption that limiting social media use will improve subjective well-being. This meta-analysis quantifies whether and how social media restriction affects subjective well-being. Included studies were those that were randomized controlled trials, instructed participants to limit or entirely abstain from social media use for a discrete period, and had at least one sub…
Systematic Review of Teammate Bullying and Hazing with Recommendations to Advance Peer Aggression Research in Sport
Although sport participation can have positive benefits for athletes, there are also unique risks for receipt of aggression. Bullying and hazing occurs across teammates in this setting and can have detrimental physical and psychological effects on athletes. This systematic review was designed to explore the sport literature to (1) uncover conceptualizations and associated prevalence of bullying and hazing and (2) elucidate factors related to bull…

Peer victimization and emotion regulation strategies in adolescents: A cross‐lagged panel model
Many adolescents experience peer victimization during this critical period for development. Emotion regulation strategies, including cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression, can help adolescents cope with such experiences. Although unidirectional relations between peer victimization and emotion regulation strategies have been examined, few studies have explored the potential bidirectional relations of these variables (Clinical Child and F…
The effects of college students' online experiences with racial/ethnic discrimination
Time online involves the risk of direct and vicarious online racial/ethnic discrimination. This study examined the day-to-day associations between online racial/ethnic discrimination and positive and negative affect, somatic symptoms, and anxiety. Participants were 208 fourth-year college students (25% men, 72.1% women, 2.9% not reporting gender; 36.1% Asian, 30.3% White, 17.3% Latinx, 7.7% Multiethnic, 8.7% Other; M age = 22 years). The sample r…
Psychosocial development measures modification for adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities
BACKGROUND: Although diagnosis and identification of IDD is improving, adolescents with IDD receive limited attention in research, particularly concerning their psychosocial development. Measures developed and normed with typically developing populations may not be appropriate for IDD populations and may result in biased assessment. AIM: This study aimed to develop and validate modified psychosocial development assessments for adolescents with in…
The Association of Military Sexual Harassment/Assault With Suicide Ideation, Plans, Attempts, and Mortality Among US Service Members/Veterans: A Meta-Analysis
Suicide rates continue to increase among service members/veterans. Military sexual harassment/assault (MSH/A) may increase risk of suicide, but little is known about the collective magnitude of associations between MSH/A and suicide outcomes, including ideation, plan, attempt, and mortality. The current meta-analysis addressed this literature gap while testing potential moderators of gender, marital status, discharge status, and military branch. …

Ways to Navigate Sexual Minority and Latter-day Saint Identities: A Latent Profile Analysis
Using a sample of 815 sexual minorities (SMs) with current or historical engagement with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we examined (a) how many empirically distinct ways there are to navigate SM and religious identities and (b) whether these ways were related to health. A latent profile analysis, which grouped participants by religious/spiritual (i.e., religious commitment, service attendance, Christian orthodoxy) and SM identi…

Defending behavior of peer victimization in school and cyber context during childhood and adolescence: A meta-analytic review of individual and peer-relational characteristics
Adolescent defending of peer victimization in the school and cyber context has received increased attention in developmental science and is an important component of antibullying interventions. However, the overall prevalence, and individual characteristics that correlate with defending in adolescence, have not been systematically and statistically reviewed. Framed in Bronfenbrenner's social-ecological theory, this meta-analytic review included 1…
Maternal adult attachment styles and mother–child transmissions of social skills and self-esteem
Grounded in principles of attachment theory and social learning theory, the goal of this study was to investigate how maternal attachment styles relate to both parent and child psychosocial outcomes. Specifically, we examined maternal self-esteem and social skills as mediators in the relationship between maternal adult attachment styles and child social skills and self-esteem. Data were collected from 229 (N = 458) mother–child dyads who complete…
Older Adolescents’ Understanding of Participant Rights in the BlackBerry Project, a Longitudinal Ambulatory Assessment Study
For a long-term, longitudinal study that used BlackBerry smartphones for passive ambulatory assessment among older adolescents, this study focused on three areas of ethical concern: (1) adolescents' competence to give assent; (2) understanding of confidentiality, the protection of information, and project goals; and (3) awareness of procedures and benefits, and comfort with the research design. One hundred and seventy-eight participants were 17 a…
How Adolescents Use Text Messaging Through their High School Years
Co-construction theory suggests adolescents use digital communication to address developmental challenges. For a sample of 214 ethnically diverse adolescents, this research used direct observation to investigate the frequency, content, and timing of texting with parents, peers, and romantic partners through grades 9-12. Analyses showed that texting frequency follows a curvilinear trajectory, peaking in eleventh grade. Adolescents discussed a rang…
Experiences with warmth in middle childhood predict features of text-message communication in early adolescence
This research explored whether experiences with warmth in middle childhood are linked to increased levels of positive affect, decreased levels of negative affect, and decreased levels of disagreeable interactions in text-message communication in adolescence. Participants included 218 children (and their parents and peers) who were on average 10.04-years-old ( SD = 0.43) in the 4th grade. In addition to being observed interacting with their parent…

Moral Disengagement About Cyberbullying and Parental Monitoring: Effects on Traditional Bullying and Victimization via Cyberbullying Involvement
The indirect effects of moral disengagement about cyberbullying and parental monitoring on traditional victimization and bullying via cyberbullying involvement were examined in a diverse sample of 800 youth in Grades 3 to 8. After controlling for grade and gender, moral disengagement about cyberbullying and parental monitoring had an indirect effect on traditional victimization and bullying through cyberbullying involvement. Moral disengagement a…
Defenders of victims of peer aggression: Interdependence theory and an exploration of individual, interpersonal, and contextual effects on the defender participant role
Effects of Defending: The Longitudinal Relations Among Peer‐perceived Defending of Victimized Peers, Victimization, and Liking
Previous research has shown victims of peer aggression to be positively impacted by being defended by peers, but how enacted defending impacts defenders themselves is not thoroughly understood. In this study, the longitudinal associations between peer‐perceived liking, enacted defending, and defender's own victimization were investigated among 336 adolescents (M age = 13.21 years). Peer perceived liking was expected to predict defending. It was a…
Perceptions of intimacy and friendship reciprocity moderate peer influence on aggression
Previous research has shown that close friends' influence can exacerbate adolescents' aggressive behavior, but results of studies which examine whether friendships of greater or lesser qualities moderate peer influence effects are inconsistent. The present study tested whether the perception of the positive friendship quality of intimate exchange and friendship reciprocity moderated best friend influence on participant aggression over time. The 2…
