Introduction to the Special Section on Developmental Psychopathology in Motion: Mechanisms, Contexts, and Translation Across the Life Course
This special section advances developmental psychopathology as a dynamic, multilevel, and contextually embedded perspective on human development. Moving beyond categorical models of disease vs. health, the six contributions emphasize dimensional, process-oriented, and culturally sensitive approaches to understanding heterogeneity in developmental pathways of psychosocial adaptation. Key topics addressed by this special section include strengths-b…
Entwicklungspsychologie des Jugend- und jungen Erwachsenenalters
Welche Verläufe nimmt die Entwicklung im Jugend- und jungen Erwachsenenalter, was sind wesentliche Erklärungsansätze und wie lässt sich Entwicklung in dieser dynamischen Phase des Lebens fördern? Im Lehrbuch werden theoretische und empirische Perspektiven auf diese und weitere Fragen vorgestellt. Sie betreffen verschiedene Aspekte und Kontexte der Entwicklung, die teils dem traditionellen Themenkanon entstammen, wie auch solche, die bislang eher …
Pubertal status and body image: An inquiry into experiences of adolescents in Ghana and Kenya
The current study uses a mixed method design to investigate Kenyan and Ghanaian adolescents' experiences of puberty, and the relations between gender, country of origin, pubertal status, and body image appraisals (N = 86; Ghana = 46, Kenya = 40, 52.9% female aged 13 and 14). Qualitative results revealed seven major themes; puberty means a universal period of growth and transition into adulthood but also evokes negative emotions of shame, anxiety,…
Developmental Trajectories of Parental Knowledge During Early Adolescence and Their Psychosocial Predictors
Recent studies revealed that parental knowledge of the child's activities and whereabouts moderately declines during adolescence. This study investigated whether (a) there exist trajectory classes that considerably deviate from this average trend and (b) whether early psychosocial factors distinguish the trajectory subgroups. Analyses were based on a German sample of school students ( N = 715) who provided annual self-reports from age 10 to 14 ye…
Alcohol Use among Young People
The Effectiveness of the Life Skills Program Ipsy for the Prevention of Adolescent Tobacco Use: The Mediating Role of Yielding to Peer Pressure
In this study, the effectiveness of a life skills program to impede tobacco use in early adolescence was scrutinized. The focus was on the mediating role of yielding to peer pressure. The universal school-based life skills program IPSY ( Information + Psychosocial Competence = Protection) against adolescent substance use was implemented over 3 years. Over the same time period, it was evaluated based on a longitudinal quasi-experimental design wit…
The development of leisure boredom in early adolescence: Predictors and longitudinal associations with delinquency and depression
The literature proposes that leisure boredom may systematically increase during adolescence. Moreover, some authors assume that this hypothesized developmental trend is associated with increases in youthful delinquency and depression. Individual dispositions (e.g., temperamental disinhibition) are believed to exacerbate the relationship between boredom and delinquency. This study investigated whether (1) leisure boredom really is an increasing ph…
Childhood Predictors and Mid-Adolescent Correlates of Developmental Trajectories of Alcohol Use among Male and Female Youth
Do Girls Profit More? Gender-Specific Effectiveness of a Life Skills Program Against Alcohol Consumption in Early Adolescence
This study investigated the effectiveness of a life skills program with regard to alcohol consumption, life skills, knowledge, and school bonding for young adolescents. The focus was on the moderating role of gender, based on the assumption that life skills programs may address specific needs of adolescent girls better than those of boys. The universal school-based life skills program IPSY (Information * Psychosocial competence = Protection) was …
Transitions from School to Work: Globalization, Individualization, and Patterns of Diversity
This volume made an important contribution to the growing literature on the transition from school to work. It provides a different perspective on the global changes that have transformed school-to-work transitions since the 1970s; offers an integrative conceptual framework for analysis; and promotes a comparative, cross-national understanding of school-to-work transitions in a changing social context. The articles assembled in this volume compar…
