Stress, social support, and internalizing problems
Social support has been consistently identified as a protective factor for youth. Two competing models have been proposed regarding the role of social support: one in which social support provides benefits for all youth (General Benefits) and one where youth undergoing stress are especially protected (Stress‐Buffering). While the General Benefits model is supported, evidence for Stress‐Buffering is more mixed. These disparate findings may be attr…
On the Ethics of Lying
The article considers various grounds on which lying is forbidden, even in the case of Nazis at the door searching for Jewish refugees. It discusses eight such grounds, seven philosophical (natural law) arguments, and one theological argument. It is concluded that whilst only one of the initial seven grounds appears to permit lying to the Nazis, the theological ground prohibiting lying is the strongest of all
Hope as a Pathway in the Relation Between Social Support From Four Sources and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescence
The present study explored the extent to which hope plays a mediating role in the relation between social support and depressive symptoms in early adolescence in a sample of 546 seventh and eighth grade students. Longitudinal data were gathered at two timepoints using the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale, Children’s Hope Scale, and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children. Results showed that perceived support fro…
The Poisoning of the Rule of Law
Discussions of Nazi law tend to centre upon Fuller’s desiderata of the rule of law. Whilst not disputing this connection, this essay argues that tyranny and oppression are marked by the (ab)use of law to invade the domain proper to individual moral thinking, and to transform citizens into models of conformity to whatever values the tyrant cherishes. Its main consideration is how a community can recover from periods of tyranny, and how the law can…

Middle and high school teachers' perceptions of cyberbullying prevention and digital citizenship
Cyberbullying is a significant public health concern that has been associated with negative outcomes. The pandemic has increased the reliance on technology in the classroom; thus, research exploring cyberbullying in the classroom is even more important. Furthermore, it is important to understand teachers' perceptions of cyberbullying to inform efforts to support teachers in addressing cyberbullying. With a nationally representative sample of 174 …
A roadmap to equitable school mental health screening
Youth in the United States are experiencing mental health concerns at alarming rates. Considering the nation's legacy of racism and growing recognition of the impact of social determinants of health on educational and mental health inequities, it is imperative to re-envision how we approach mental health screening in schools to center equity. A focus on mental health screening for the sole purpose of identifying individual at-risk students ignore…
Natural Law and Modern Society
This book offers a new natural law theory for modern times. Grounded in the thought of St Thomas Aquinas, it ranges from discussion of ethics and the modern-day relevance of scholastic method to treatments of law, justice, the common good, human and natural rights, obligation, and political authority. It connects these questions to an appreciation of divine law and action. The reader is introduced to the distinction between the ‘core morality’ of…
Relationships Matter
Modern Jurisprudence
This textbook presents a clear exploration of the historical developments and ideas that give modern thinking its distinctive shape. It guides students through the rival standpoints on jurisprudence from the origins of Western jurisprudential thought and the classical tradition to the emergence of ‘modern’ political thought. Chapters on Hart, Fuller, Rawls, Dworkin and Finnis lead the reader systematically through the terrain of modern legal phil…
Youth depression and perceived social support from parents
Cruising the staged Wonderland
This article attempts to introduce and define the creative practice of ‘scenographic photography’ through the exploration of a body of practice-based research completed as part of a Ph.D. at the University of Tasmania in 2018. As research, it examines how traditionally representational forms of photography and scenography can inform each other through the more performative mode of ‘scenographic photography’, an interdisciplinary neologism operati…
A theoretical and empirical assessment of authoritarianism’s effects on behavior, attendance, and performance in urban school systems
Authoritarian school safety measures have become commonplace in efforts to promote safety in today’s schools. This paper attempts to examine the effects of student engagement with authoritarianism in schools using self-report survey data from students (N= 359) across eight high schools in one large, urban school district in the greater New York City area. With consideration of various frameworks for conceptualizing authority in schools, authorita…
Dealing with the day‐to‐day
Research suggests that parents and principals perceive school shootings as one of the leading threats to school safety and among the most likely hazardous events that would affect safety at school. However, exposure to nonfatal victimization, such as fighting, threats, theft, vandalism, bullying, hate crimes, and gang activity, has become far more common in today's schools. Using data from students in eight schools across one urban school distric…
Bullying types and roles in early adolescence
Can Natural Laws be Derived from Sociability
The article questions whether it is possible to derive natural laws from human sociability. It examines the work of Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas, and concludes that there are certain natural laws that can be derived from the social character of human beings. Some of these hold across all societies and at all times (semper et ad semper) whereas others hold only in general but are subject to exceptions (semper sed non ad semper). The article co…

Equality, Autonomy, and the Vulnerable Subject in Law and Politics
A meta-analytic review of the association between perceived social support and depression in childhood and adolescence
This meta-analysis evaluated the relation between social support and depression in youth and compared the cumulative evidence for 2 theories that have been proposed to explain this association: the general benefits (GB; also known as main effects) and stress-buffering (SB) models. The study included 341 articles (19% unpublished) gathered through a search in PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, ERIC, and ProQuest, and a hand search of 11 relevant journals. Us…
