Structural and socio-psychological influences on adolescents’ educational aspirations and subsequent academic achievement
Previous literature indicates that educational aspirations are an important predictor of achievement at school and beyond. This paper examines the factors that are associated with high educational aspirations.

The results show that educational aspirations are associated with individual characteristi…
Vulnerable youth, dialogic exchanges and resilience: Some preliminary findings from an exploratory study in East London
There has been little exploration in the literature of the dialogic exchanges among marginalized youth, including the kinds of associations they may have, if any, with resilience.

Youth narratives are us…
Area social fragmentation, social support for individuals and psychosocial health in young adults: Evidence from a national survey in England
This paper uses national survey data for young adults in England to explore empirically the relationships between social fragmentation in communities (measured for geographical areas), social support experienced by individuals from their immediate social circle, and psychosocial health of young adults. After reviewing previous research about these associations, we adopted an empirical approach to these questions, which was innovative in using dat…

Theoretical approaches in the work of Putnam, Jacobs, and Coleman are compared and qualitative neighbourhood case studies used to identify contextual influences on social capital's sources and forms, and on the…
