Cyberbullying Victimization and Mental Health Symptoms Among Children and Adolescents
Cyberbullying victimization and mental health symptoms are major concerns for children and adolescents worldwide. Despite the increasing number of longitudinal studies of cyberbullying and mental health among this demographic, the robustness of the causal associations between cyberbullying victimization and the magnitude of mental health symptoms remains unclear. This meta-analysis investigated the longitudinal impact of cyberbullying victimizati…
Parental Support, Child Factors and School Adjustment in Predicting Adolescents’ Well-Being and Ill-Being
We investigated the effects of parental support, individual factors (general self-efficacy and social emotional loneliness), and school adjustment (general aspects about school and teachers, peer relationship, and academic and disciplinary difficulties) on adolescents’ well-being and ill-being. The aim is to study how these different sets of predictors affect well-being and ill-being and the interrelationships between different sets of predictors…
Introduction to the special section on parenting across cultures
This article provides an overview of the articles in the special section on Parenting Across Cultures: Bridging Commonalities and Specificities in Parental Control and Warmth . To advance developmental science, we recommend using the cultural commonality and specificity framework in examining how the forms and functions of parenting behaviors might manifest similarly or differently across cultural context. This special section begins with a conce…
The teacher-student relationship in Chinese secondary school adolescents
The teacher-student relationship plays a crucial role in adolescents' academic and socioemotional adjustment. This study validated the student version of the Teacher-Student Relationship Inventory (S-TSRI)—the first scale of its kind developed in an Asian setting—through a longitudinal study. A total of 2470 Mainland Chinese middle school students participated in the survey at Time 1 ( M age = 13.86, SD = 0.81, 50.6 % females). Of these participa…
Bidirectional Relationships between Adolescent Aggression and Mental Health Conditions
A rising global concern, adolescent aggression has been linked to adolescents’ mental health conditions, and vice versa. Although longitudinal relationships between the two have been studied, within-person associations between these variables, which are important for informing interventions, have not been adequately examined. To bridge that research gap, this study examined the within-person associations between aggression (i.e., reactive, proact…
Many-Dimensional Model of Adolescent School Enjoyment
There is an emerging, many-dimensional model of human functioning that has yet to be rigorously tested in adolescent psychopathology. The model is based, in part, on research suggesting stronger predictive power at the level of single items compared to the commonly used smaller number of higher-level constructs represented by scores or factors. Here, the model is tested in research relevant for the understanding how psychopathology relates to ado…

Examination of Construct Bias in the Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire for Children–Revised Across Culture and Gender
Construct bias was examined among 316 Singapore and U.S. adolescents on the Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire for Children–Revised (NPQC-R). The NPQC-R consists of two (Superiority and Exploitativeness) factors. Results from multigroup confirmatory factor analyses indicated partial strong invariance on the NPQC-R across culture and strong invariance across gender. These results do not provide support for the presence of construct bias in the…
The Role of Normative Beliefs About Aggression in the Relationship Between Empathy and Cyberbullying
The present study examined the relationship between empathy (affective and cognitive) and cyberbullying in a sample of 396 (male = 173, female = 219, and four did not report information on gender) school-going adolescents from Singapore (age ranging from 12 to 18 years). Both types of empathy were negatively associated with cyberbullying as expected, with affective empathy having a stronger association with cyberbullying. We also investigated the…

Australians tended to be more agreeable, more conscientious, more optimistic, more satisfied with their lives, while Singaporeans tended to be more neurotic and more pessimistic. S…
Online Video Game Therapy for Mental Health Concerns
Background: There has been research on the use of offline video games for therapeutic purposes but online video game therapy is still fairly under-researched. Online therapeutic interventions have only recently included a gaming component. Hence, this review represents a timely first step toward taking advantage of these recent technological and cultural innovations, particularly for the treatment of special-needs groups such as the young, the el…

Use of the Jackknife Statistic to Evaluate Result Replicability
Result replicability has often been confused with significance testing because of a misinformed view that statistical significance evaluates result importance and result replicability. Several alternatives, of which the jackknife statistic is one, provide researchers with the tools for estimating result replicability. In the present study, an available data set from A. L. Edwards (1985, p. 57) is used to illustrate the use of the jackknife statis…
