The role of friends in the development of children’s classroom behavioral engagement and peer acceptance in kindergarten: A dyadic approach
Diseases of despair in early adulthood: The complex role of social relationships
Diseases of despair," most prominently depressive and substance-related problems, diminish the prospects of many young adults, especially those with lower levels of education. Yet many young adults in that situation avoid these problems. Close relationships are thought to be a key factor underpinning risk and resilience among this group. To examine this premise, this study explored links, beyond potential confounders assessed in adolescence, betw…
Student Engagement as a Mediator Process Between Peer Victimization and Achievement at the Beginning of Middle School
Our findings expose the importance to promote student engagement in school and achievement for victimized youth.
Interplay between peer experiences and classroom behavioral engagement throughout early childhood: Intraindividual and interindividual differences
Social contagion and high school dropout: The role of friends, romantic partners, and siblings
Social contagion theories suggest that adolescents in relationships with same-age high school dropouts should be at a greater risk of dropping out themselves. Yet, few studies have examined this premise, and none have considered all potentially influential same-age intimates, focusing instead on only either friends or siblings. Moreover, a key influence in adolescents’ social worlds, romantic partners, has been ignored. The goal of this study was…
A Test of the Bistrategic Control Hypothesis of Adolescent Popularity
Resource Control Theory (Hawley, 1999) posits a group of bistrategic popular youth who attain status through coercive strategies while mitigating fallout via prosociality. This study identifies and distinguishes this bistrategic popular group from other popularity types, tracing the adjustment correlates of each. Adolescent participants (288 girls, 280 boys; Mage = 12.50 years) completed peer nominations in the Fall and Spring of the seventh and …
Transactional links between adolescents’ and friends’ victimization during the first two years of secondary school: The mediating role of likeability and friendship involvement
The goals of this study were to examine to what extent lower likeability at the group level and lower friendship involvement can explain the bidirectional links between adolescents’ own and their friends’ victimization over time. We tested these processes by applying a cross‐lagged path model to a sample of 621 adolescents. Data were collected at four time points over the two first years of secondary school. Participants were asked to identify sa…
Friendships and deviancy training in young children
Purpose – The purpose of this study was to test a new approach to deviancy training, that is, the shaping and reinforcing of disruptive behaviors in social interaction, which considers not only reinforcement, but also the modeling processes involved, as well as children's roles as either providers or receivers of the training. Design/methodology/approach – Using teacher reports and observations from a semi-naturalistic experimental setting with y…
L’utilisation de mesures indirectes et directes du comportement dans l’évaluation des interventions ciblant les enfants agressifs
L’efficacité des interventions auxquelles sont exposés les enfants agressifs doit être évaluée avec rigueur. Pour ce faire, les chercheurs et praticiens doivent disposer de mesures fiables, valides, exemptes de biais et qui soient suffisamment sensibles pour permettre de détecter tout changement dans le comportement des enfants. Le premier objectif de cet article consiste à mettre en évidence les limites associées à l’utilisation de mesures indir…
The additive and interactive roles of aggression, prosocial behavior, and social preference in predicting resource control in young children
Purpose Distinguishing between physical and social aggression, this study aimed to examine whether the predictive effect of aggression on resource control is moderated by prosocial behavior and corresponds to a linear or a curvilinear trend. Moderating effects of children's social preference among peers and child sex in this context were also tested. Design/methodology/approach Based on a sample of 682 kindergarten children (348 girls; average ag…
Self-Disclosure in Friendships as the Moderator of the Association Between Peer Victimization and Depressive Symptoms in Overweight Adolescents
The objective of the study was to examine the effects of self-disclosure in best friendships on the pathway from peer victimization to depressive symptoms as mediated by self-esteem for physical appearance (SEPA) in overweight adolescents. Utilizing data from 610 French-speaking Canadian adolescents in Grades 7 and 8, the current study examined self-reports of peer victimization, SEPA, self-disclosure in their best friendship, and depressive symp…
