Mental health among deaf/hard-of-hearing adolescents and adolescents with auditory processing disorder
This study investigated mental health in deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) adolescents and adolescents with auditory processing disorder (APD) during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on these underrepresented groups, this study addressed a gap in the adolescent mental health research and provided an insight into mental health indicators and potential resources relevant to mental health promotion. We examined the extent of well-being a…
Associations of stressful life events with stress symptoms and well-being of adolescent refugees
OBJECTIVE: This paper focuses on the relationship between stressful life events experienced by young refugees and their reports of psychological and somatic stress symptoms and well-being. It examines whether this relationship is mediated by personal and social resources and by acculturation hassles experienced in the host country. METHODS: Path analyses were calculated based on data from 147 adolescents aged 11 to 18 years from the Middle East a…
Health behaviours in deaf/hard-of-hearing adolescents and adolescents with auditory processing disorder from a special needs school
Adolescents' health behaviours shape long-term health, yet many adolescents do not meet recommendations for healthy eating or physical activity. Evidence on deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) adolescents and those with auditory processing disorder (APD) is limited, despite inclusive WHO health promotion aims. This study examined health behaviours, gender differences, and associations with self-efficacy among DHH/APD adolescents and compared them with …
Effectiveness of the school‐based internet intervention StresSOS for the prevention of mental health problems in young people
BACKGROUND: Given the high prevalence of mental illnesses in adolescents, there is an urgent need for effective prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the school-based internet intervention StresSOS for the universal prevention of mental illnesses in youth. METHODS: A two-arm, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Participants were recruited from schools across five regions of Germany. Young people between the ages of 1…
School bullying and cyberbullying – associations of student’s roles with social-cognitive and affective reactions
Bullying is a widespread phenomenon at schools and in digital media. Many adolescents come into contact with bullying and must react to it. Social-cognitive and affective reactions to bullying incidents (SCARB) might determine which roles classmates adopt. The current study investigates school bullying and cyberbullying within the class community on the basis of peer nominations and associates pupils’ roles with self-reported SCARB. Roles were as…
Reasons for non-participation of children and adolescents in a large-scale school-based mental health project
Background Non-participation in mental health studies is an under-explored but very important topic. Investigating reasons for non-participation holds promise for the planning of future study designs and recruitment strategies. This study aimed at investigating reasons for children and adolescents (C&A) not participating in a school-based mental health research project. Methods Data collection took place within the school-based recruitment of a l…
Health-related quality of life of young refugees in Germany during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak forced widespread changes in minors’ daily life with a risk of compromising well-being. So far, little is known about how health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of young refugees has developed during this time, although they belong to a vulnerable group. In a cross-sectional analysis during the first year of the pandemic, minors aged 8 to 16 years with and without refugee experience ( n each = 156) were surveyed, using self-…
Religious Identity and its Relation to Health-Related Quality of Life and Covid-Related Stress of Refugee Children and Adolescents in Germany
Research shows that religious identity is associated with health. The aim of this study was to understand the role of religious identity for refugee minors’ health in greater detail. Middle Eastern refugee minors resettled in Germany and aged 8–18 years completed questionnaires at baseline (T1, n = 246) and follow-up (T2, n = 122) measurement between 2019 and 2022. Religious identity was assessed with a 4-item measure (Cronbach’s α = .89). Associ…
Longitudinal relationships between coping strategies, cultural orientations, and mental health among young refugees from the Middle East in Germany
Moderators of pre-post changes in school-based mental health promotion
Psychological stress symptoms decreased among adolescents with mental health problems and not among adolescents at risk for or without mental health problems. Mental health-related knowledge increased for all adolescents. The results add to knowledge on school-based mental health intervention research and practice. Its implications for different prevention strategies (universal, selective or a combination of both) are discussed
Bystanders of bullying
The Bystander Intervention Model by Latané and Darley (1970) describes the stages necessary for a bystander to intervene in an emergency and can be used to explain bystander behavior in the case of bullying. Social-cognitive and affective reactions to bullying such as empathy with the victim, moral disengagement, feelings of responsibility, defender self-efficacy and outcome expectancy are supposed to determine whether a bystander passes through …
Daily Stress, Hearing-Specific Stress and Coping
This study evaluated stressors and coping strategies in 70 children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) or with auditory processing disorder (APD) attending Grades 5 and 6 of a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Everyday general stressors and more hearing-specific stressors were examined in a hearing-specific modified stress and coping questionnaire. Reports were compared with normative data for hearing children. Regarding everyday …
Self-regulation of healthy nutrition
Nutritional behaviour is influenced by both automatic and controlled processes depending on the available capacity for self-regulation
Gender Differences in Coping Strategies in Children and Adolescents
The present study focuses on gender effects and interactions between gender, type of stressful situation, and age-group in coping strategies in childhood and adolescence. The sample consisted of N = 1990 children and adolescents (957 boys, 1033 girls; grade levels 3-8). Participants responded to a coping questionnaire (Fragebogen zur Erhebung von Stress und Stressbewältigung im Kindes- und Jugendalter, SSKJ 3-8; Lohaus, Eschenbeck, Kohlmann, & Kl…
Attentional biases for threatening faces in children
The authors examined the processing of threat-related information in childhood anxiety with the emotional Stroop task and the dot probe task. In study 1, a nonclinical sample of 112 pupils (mean age = 9 years) performed pictorial versions of both tasks. For each task, an index indicating a bias for threat processing was computed. Positive correlations were found between these indices and anxiety. When compared with the original emotional Stroop i…
