  • Factors Associated with Teachers’ Suicide Literacy and Self-Efficacy: A Scoping Review

    Naska Goagoses, Jessica Wilke et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Loss and Trauma•2026

    In suicide prevention, gatekeepers are community members who interact with many individuals, can be trained to recognize signs of suicidality, and facilitate referral to support services. Teachers are considered natural gatekeepers who play an important role in identifying and supporting students, yet require adequate knowledge and self-efficacy beliefs to engage in suicide intervention behaviors. The aim of the current scoping review was to inve…

  • Cognitive predictors of low-income preschoolers’ moral judgments about physical harm: A longitudinal person-centered study

    Open Access•Erin Ruth Baker, Jessica Wilke et al.•ARTICLE•Cognitive Development•2026

    This study sought to identify heterogeneous profiles of preschool children’s moral judgments and cognitive predictors of those profiles. Children ( N = 106, M age = 52.78 months, SD = 6.61 months) completed a prototypical moral harm interview (Killen et al., 2011) at T1 and T2 (six months later), the five-task Theory of Mind battery (Wellman & Liu, 2004) and two executive function tasks (Carlson & Moses, 2001; Gerstadt et al., 1994) at T1. Cluste…

  • How to raise a moral teen: Caregiving styles of moral parents

    Jessica Wilke, Emily Baker et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Moral Education•2025

    Moral identity represents an individual’s commitment to moral principles. Caregivers’ norms and parenting influence adolescents’ moral identity. However, the specific impact of caregivers’ moral identity and parenting on their children’s moral identity is less studied empirically. This study investigates how parenting, (parental warmth, autonomy support, and strictness), and caregivers’ moral identity are associated with adolescents’ moral identi…

  • True intraindividual change in moral self: The role of parental warmth in moral development during middle childhood

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Annika Rademacher•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    This study investigates the role of parental warmth in the development and change of the moral self in middle childhood. While previous research has extensively examined the moral self in early childhood and moral identity in adolescence, middle childhood remains underexplored. Yet, middle childhood is a crucial phase marked by significant moral development, making it a critical period for understanding how moral self-concepts evolve. To examine …

  • The moderating role of moral disengagement on the relation between bullying and school well-being in adolescents

    Open Access•Jule Eilts, Jessica Wilke•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2025

    The discussion explores the notions of cognitive scripts, reduced moral beliefs, and their potential influence on individuals repeatedly victimized by bullying. The focus is on how these individuals may cope by distancing themselves from moral norms

  • Stability and cross-lagged associations between parenting and children's moral self

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Erin Ruth Baker•ARTICLE•Journal of Applied Developmental…•2025•References: 51

    Although prior research has highlighted the importance of parenting for children's moral self-development, longitudinal studies examining the bidirectional relationships between parental warmth, parental harshness, and children's moral self remain scarce. This study addresses this gap by investigating the reciprocal associations between parental warmth, parental harshness, and children's moral self during middle childhood. We conducted a question…

  • Analyzing the Link Between Callous-Unemotional Traits and Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems: The Crucial Role of Emotion Regulation Skills

    Jessica Wilke, Neele Bäker et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2025•References: 79

  • Morality - The Task of Caregivers? The Role of Parenting for the Moral Self and Moral Identity in Childhood and Adolescence

    Neele Bäker, Jessica Wilke•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 56

    The terms moral self and moral identity are sometimes used synonymously. Attempts to differentiate the concepts of moral self and moral identity across age groups have been made theoretically, but rarely empirically. In theoretical discourses, the moral self was seen more as a precursor construct in childhood for moral identity in adolescence. Empirical delineation of these two age groups (childhood and adolescence) has received less attention. T…

  • Factor structure of callous unemotional traits and its associations with morality in middle childhood in a German community sample

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Jule Eilts et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2024

    The present study focuses on assessing the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) in a German community sample of middle childhood participants. Previous research on the ICU has primarily been conducted in different samples and countries, with inconsistent results, i.e., different models in different samples and little attention given to German middle childhood populations. A critical need to deepen the under…

  • Measurement invariance of the inventory of Callous‐Unemotional traits in different age groups from preschool age to late adolescence in Germany

    Open Access•Annika Rademacher, Neele Bäker et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2024

    Accordingly, the ICU cannot be applied in the same way to children and adolescents of different age groups, which emphasizes the need for a more differentiated assessment

  • Morality in Moderation: Profiles of Moral Self and Behavioral Problems Among Children

    Jessica Wilke, Jule Eilts et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 75

    Middle childhood marks an important phase for moral and social-emotional development, yet little research has focused on a combined focus within this age range. A person-centered research approach could capture the complex co-development of the moral self and behavior problems. We thus sought to determine exploratively what emergent subgroups/profiles exist when examining combinations of moral self, emotional, conduct and peer problems in middle …

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of associations between self-regulation and morality in preschool and elementary school children

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Ute Koglin•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2023

    The importance of self-regulatory skills for the socio-emotional competencies of children is being researched and discussed extensively. However, in order to make a clear statement about the impact of self-regulation on children’s morality, a systematic review of the literature is urgently needed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyze associations between self-regulation and morality of preschool and elementary school …

  • Parenting dimensions/styles and emotion dysregulation in childhood and adolescence: A systematic review and Meta-analysis

    Open Access•Naska Goagoses, Tijs Bolz et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2023

    Emotion dysregulation is a transdiagnostic factor in the development of various mental and behavioral disorders, thus requiring ample evidence for prevention and intervention approaches. The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the association between parenting dimensions/styles and emotion dysregulation in childhood and adolescence. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the review was registered (PROSPERO CRD42021…

  • Associations between Parenting, Temperament-Related Self-Regulation and the Moral Self in Middle Childhood

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Jessica Schütz et al.•ARTICLE•Children•2023

    The moral self is increasingly being debated in research, i.e., what causes children to internalise and evaluate the importance of certain moral values. The aim of the present study is to analyse associations between parental warmth and harsh parenting, temperamental self-regulation (inhibitory control and impulsivity), and the moral self in middle childhood. A total of 194 ( n = 52 children with special educational needs in emotional-social deve…

  • Morality in middle childhood: The role of callous-unemotional traits and emotion regulation skills

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Naska Goagoses•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2023

    The findings address a knowledge gap and indicate that emotion regulation skills, callousness, and uncaring play an important role in morality in middle childhood and should be included in frameworks of moral decision-making and development

  • Epidemiology of Somatoform Symptoms and Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    Open Access•Christina Vesterling, Jessica Wilke et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2023

    The aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the prevalence and incidence of somatoform symptoms and disorders (also referred to as medically unexplained symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, functional syndromes, somatization disorder, or somatic symptom disorder) in childhood and adolescence. The PRISMA guidelines were followed, and the review was registered prior to initiation (PROSPERO CRD42022339735). Fitting search …

  • Bullying in school and cyberbullying among adolescents without and with special educational needs in emotional–social development and in learning in Germany

    Open Access•Jessica Wilke, Jessica Schütz et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology in the Schools•2022

    Bullying in school and cyberbullying are highly relevant issues. Students with special educational needs in emotional–social development and learning show individual characteristics that could be risk factors for bullying perpetration and victimization (e.g., externalizing behavior problems or poor social skills). Therefore, the present study was carried out to explore differences in school bullying and cyberbullying between adolescents without a…
