Self‐Disclosure and Psychological Well‐Being in Chinese Adolescents: Exploring the Role of Self‐Perception
INTRODUCTION: Self-disclosure is a fundamental aspect of human communication, particularly important for adolescents. As adolescents navigate the gradual transition from parental reliance to individual autonomy, they increasingly turn to their peers as trusted confidants. Although self-disclosure has been associated with positive psychological outcomes among adolescents, research remains limited, inconsistent, and outdated, particularly in the Ma…
The role of family relationships on adolescents' development and adjustment during the Covid ‐19 pandemic: A systematic review
In typical times, adolescents' relationships with family members influence changing cognitive, social, and physical aspects of their development. The COVID‐19 pandemic, however, impacted the full family system in ways that were unprecedented. Scholars of adolescence worldwide were driven to understand how adolescents' relationships with family members changed due to these dramatic societal shifts and the influence these relationships had on adole…
Urban Chinese Adolescents’ Perspectives on Gender Roles and Differential Treatment: The Significance of Teachers and Schools
Maternal and paternal emotion socialization practices and psychosocial adjustment from early- to mid-adolescence among urban Chinese families
Longitudinal studies of emotion socialization are still lacking in the Majority World. Studies with father data are particularly scarce. The present study drew data from a 15-year longitudinal project of urban Chinese families and examined both concurrent and longitudinal associations between parental emotion socialization (ES) practices and youth psychosocial adjustment from early- to mid-adolescence. Youths ( N = 272, 52.9% boys, M age = 9.77 y…
Maternal Sensitivity Predicts Child Attachment in a Non-Western Context: A 9-Year Longitudinal Study of Chinese Families
Despite the long-standing debate over the assumed universality of maternal sensitivity predicting attachment security (i.e., sensitivity hypothesis), few long-term longitudinal investigations on attachment have been conducted outside the Western context. We leveraged data from a prospective 9-year longitudinal study of middle-class families (N = 356; female = 48.9%) in China to examine if early maternal sensitivity predicts attachment representat…
Personal Relative Deprivation and Locus of Control
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between personal relative deprivation (PRD)-resentment from the belief that one is worse off than people who are similar to oneself-and locus of control. BACKGROUND: Research has yet to comprehensively investigate whether PRD is associated with a tendency to favor external (vs. internal) explanations for self- and other-relevant outcomes. METHOD: = 6729) employed cross-sectional, experimental, and (micr…
Towards a decolonial developmental science: Adolescent development in the Majority World taking center stage
While aspiring to be a diverse and global science, developmental science continues to be dominated by EuroAmerican epistemologies, researchers, and communities in its published scholarship. Adolescents in communities across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America comprise 85% of the world's adolescent population, and yet their experiences and perspectives are marginalized in our science. Adolescents in the Majority World live in highly d…
Physiological Responses during Parental Conflicts as Potential Biomarkers for Adolescent Depression
Adolescents are a vulnerable population with a high prevalence of depression, yet there is a scarcity of biological markers for diagnosing depression specifically in this age group. In this case-control study, we examined physiological responses and facial expressions in adolescents with depression compared to healthy controls during parental conflict to identify potential biomarkers for adolescent depression. We recruited 33 families with adoles…
The Misandry Myth: An Inaccurate Stereotype About Feminists’ Attitudes Toward Men
In six studies, we examined the accuracy and underpinnings of the damaging stereotype that feminists harbor negative attitudes toward men. In Study 1 ( n = 1,664), feminist and nonfeminist women displayed similarly positive attitudes toward men. Study 2 ( n = 3,892) replicated these results in non-WEIRD countries and among male participants. Study 3 ( n = 198) extended them to implicit attitudes. Investigating the mechanisms underlying feminists’…
Expressive suppression, confucian Zhong Yong thinking, and psychosocial adjustment among Chinese young adults
The negative effects of the habitual use of suppression on psychosocial adjustment were usually attenuated in Eastern samples compared to Western samples. However, culture is dynamic and constantly changing, and it has rarely been directly assessed in empirical studies. Further, within‐culture variations have usually been ignored. In the current study, we involved a Confucian concept of Zhong Yong mode of thinking, assessed individual differences…
Perceived Child Difficultness, Emotion Dysregulation, and Emotion‐Related Parenting among Chinese Parents
This study investigated the integrative effects of parents’ perceptions of child difficultness and parental emotion dysregulation on emotion‐related parenting among a group of Chinese parents of school‐age children. One hundred and fifty parent–child dyads (121 biological mothers and 29 biological fathers as primary caregivers; M age = 39.22 years) from urban Beijing, China participated in the study. Parents reported on their own emotion dysregul…
Longitudinal links between maternal and peer emotion socialization and adolescent girls’ socioemotional adjustment
Although research has demonstrated that both parents and peers influence adolescent development, it is not clear whether these relationships also serve as contexts for emotion socialization. In the current longitudinal study, we investigated whether maternal and peer emotion socialization were related to adolescent girls' daily emotions, emotion regulation, and social and emotional adjustment. The sample included 160 adolescent girls from low-inc…
Filial piety, internalized homonegativity, and depressive symptoms among Taiwanese gay and bisexual men: A mediation analysis
6) were recruited to complete a web-based survey comprising the Contemporary Filial Piety Scale, the Chinese Internalized Homophobia Scale, and the Patient Health Quesionanire-9. Structural equation modeling was performed to test the mediation paths. Results showed that pragmatic obligations are directly and negatively associated with depressive symptoms without yielding significant correlation with internalized homonegativity. A full mediation p…
Adolescent RSA responses during an anger discussion task: Relations to emotion regulation and adjustment
The current study examined associations between adolescent respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during an angry event discussion task and adolescents' emotion regulation and adjustment. Data were collected from 206 adolescents (10-18 years of age, M age = 13.37). Electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiration data were collected from adolescents, and RSA values and respiration rates were computed. Adolescents reported on their own emotion regulation, pros…
Parental Psychological Control and Adolescent Adjustment: The Role of Adolescent Emotion Regulation
Psychological control is negatively associated with adolescent adjustment, particularly among adolescents who have difficulty regulating emotions. Emotion regulation is one mechanism through which psychological control is linked to adolescent adjustment, particularly anger dysregulation, and this pattern holds for both younger and older adolescents and for both boys and girls
The Role of Youth Anger in Explaining Links Between Parenting and Early Adolescent Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior
The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the role of youth anger regulation and reactivity in the link between parenting and social adjustment among a sample of 84 youth residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods in a mid-southwestern city. Using path analysis, findings indicate that parents’ responsive and discipline-related behaviors were associated with antisocial and prosocial behaviors in different ways. Parental support was posi…
