Better relationships do not always feel better: Social relationships interact in predicting negative emotions in early adolescence
How negatively young adolescents feel is central to their well-being. Intuitively, better social relationships should be linked to less negative emotions. This study tested this assumption, using a sample of over 80,000 young adolescents from 32 countries (ages 10-12). Inconsistent with the notion that better social relationships are always related to better emotional experiences, we found that links between negative emotions and adolescents' rel…
Adherence to emotion norms is greater in individualist cultures than in collectivist cultures
It is generally assumed that there is greater pressure to conform to social norms in collectivist cultures than in individualist cultures. However, most research on cultural differences in social norms has examined norms for behaviors. Here, we examine cultural differences in norms for emotions. Relative to members of collectivist cultures, members of individualist cultures are more attuned to internal states and value them more. Therefore, we pr…
La historia del estudio Children’s Worlds
Este artículo presenta la justificación, el desarrollo y la historia de uno de los estudios más singulares y a gran escala que se han llevado a cabo para investigar el bienestar de los niños. El estudio que aquí se presenta se basa en la comprensión de que los niños son seres humanos activos por propio derecho durante toda su infancia, y que la infancia es también una etapa en sí misma. Más aún, está basado en la idea de que el bienestar es tambi…

How subjective well-being is associated with material deprivation and social exclusion in Israeli 12-year-olds
The literature examining the relations between economic situation and happiness has focused almost exclusively on a household's income as a proxy for economic situation and, accordingly, also focused chiefly on the adult population, excluding children and adolescents. To fill this gap, this study examines the relation between economic deprivation and happiness by using 2 alternative proxies: material deprivation and social exclusion. The study te…
What children think about their rights and their well-being: A cross-national comparison
Recent years have brought a growing social and public commitment to the promotion of children's rights and children's well-being around the world, and these have become important goals of all those striving to improve children's lives. In spite of the intimate ideological connection between the concepts of children's rights and children's well-being, they have evolved separately both theoretically and empirically. In the current article, we prese…

Parent-Child Value Similarity Across and Within Cultures
Normative socio-cultural influences may lead to parent-child value similarity over and above familial processes. Such influences, in which the mainstream position taken by people in a given culture leads to an average similarity between unrelated members of the culture, have been investigated for the most part by considering one country at a time. This has, however, left several questions open; among these is the question of whether parent-child …

Does the Importance of Parent and Peer Relationships for Adolescents’ Life Satisfaction Vary Across Cultures
This study investigated whether the associations between (a) the quality of the parent-child relationship and peer acceptance and (b) early adolescents’ life satisfaction differed depending on the importance of family values in the respective culture. As part of the Value of Children Study, data from a subsample of N = 1,034 adolescents (58% female, M age = 13.62 years, SD = 0.60 years) from 11 cultures was analyzed. Multilevel analyses revealed …
Taxonomy for child well-being indicators: A framework for the analysis of the well-being of children
Recent years have brought a dramatic rise in the number of efforts to measure and monitor the status of children. Yet, despite numerous efforts and reports with 'Child indicators' in the title, the field of social child indication is fragmented and lacking a unifying taxonomy. The more ambitious the analysis and the more elaborate the statistics, the stronger the need for a common language used by all. This article tries to suggest such a taxonom…

Socioeconomic correlates of rates of child maltreatment in small communities
This study expands the research on neighborhood effects and child maltreatment by examining the structural conditions, including religion and nationality, in small towns in Israel. The results are compared with those in inner-city and suburban neighborhoods in Western countries. Five community structural variables were statistically correlated with investigated cases of child maltreatment: adults' unemployment rate, rate of new immigrants, rate o…

Opinion, Dialogue, Review: Time for (More) Time-Use Studies: Studying the Daily Activities of Children
Concerns about children's time-use and daily activities are not new. Nevertheless it is evident that such studies are scarce and partial and that as of today the knowledge we have on the patterns of children's everyday activities and the way in which different patterns of activity impact on children's well-being is insufficient. This article makes a case for the importance of time-use studies of children: such studies that will provide a flexible…

Citizenship and Childhood: The state of affairs in Israel
Citizenship is not merely a formal status. It is a source of human rights and entitles its owners to services, protection and benefits. Citizenship stipulates what obligations a citizen must fulfil and in what manner he or she is to behave. Citizenship is the prerequisite for belonging to a group (from a social and historical perspective) and as such bears a significant impact on identity formation. Therefore, citizenship is crucial for the well-…

The paradox of child poverty in israel: Window on the World
Data on the levels of child poverty in Israel indicate that it has remained consistently high and indeed is higher than that in most welfare states. This finding is paradoxical given the fact that, since its establishment fifty years ago, Israel has emphasized its commitment to the well-being of its children and to their welfare. Indeed, this approach has been reflected in a wide variety of social programmes aimed at bettering the living standard…

Who is for Kids and Who is just Kidding? Members of the Israeli Knesset's Activities on Children's Issues between 1990–2001
This article reports the findings of a study which explored the activities of members of four Israeli Knessets (MKs) between 1990 and 2001 (the 12th to the 15th Knessets), and sought to explore possible connections between their activities in relation to child welfare and a number of social and political variables. The study was based on archival and quantitative data pertaining to MKs' activities. A short overview of the Israeli political system…

Generational, ethnic, and national differences in attitudes toward the rights of children in israel and palestine
With the nearly universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, children's rights have become a cornerstone of discussions in relation to human rights and human services around the world. Although the concept of children's rights is now broadly established, the meaning of this concept and its significance for policies and programs are apt to vary across nations, cultures, religions, and age groups. With the close proximity of…

This study has three objectives: (1) to study the needs of child victims in the criminal justice system; (2) to study the attitudes, activities and provisions of investigative authorities toward child victims and their families, as perceived by the children themselves and their parents; and (3) to study the relation between the assistance received and the child victims' and the parents' willingness to cooperate with the investigative authorities.…

Attitudes toward and understanding of children's rights among middle school students in Jerusalem: The role of family values and patterns, nationality, and religion
Children's rights have become a cornerstone of discussions of human rights and human services around the world. However, the meaning of children's rights and their significance for policies and programs vary across nations, cultures, religions, and families. Only recently has research begun to study the conceptualization of children's rights in non-Western and non-Christian-dominated cultures and, thus, in more traditional and authoritarian famil…
