Peer Influence during Adolescence: The Moderating Role of Parental Support
Although many studies show that peers influence the development of adolescent internalizing and externalizing difficulties, few have considered both internalizing and externalizing difficulties in the same study, and fewer have considered the contributions of parents. Using a longitudinal sample of 385 adolescents, the contributions of best friends' internalizing and externalizing difficulties (as assessed in Grade 6; G6: M age = 13.64 years; 53%…
What did your child do today? Describing young children’s daily activities outside of school
The purpose of this study was to describe the daily activities of Canadian children outside of school. Participants were parents of N = 189 children (90 boys, 99 girls) in grades 1 to 3. The What Your Child Did Today parental telephone interview protocol was developed as a daily log of both the type and social context of children’s activities. Among the results, children spent almost half of their waking time in unstructured activities (e.g. free…

The purpose of the current study was to test a conceptual model of the mediated and moderated associations among shyness, coping strategies, and socioemotional functioning in middle childhood. Participants were 358 children (177 boys) aged 9–13 years ( M = 10.16 years, SD =.95).

Elementary School Teachers’ Reflections on Shy Children in the Classroom
This study explored teachers’ perceptions of shy children in the classroom during the elementary school grades. Seven teachers (1 male, 6 female) from elementary schools located in geographically diverse areas of Canada participated in semistructured telephone interviews that explored their perceptions of and experiences with shy children in the classroom. Transcripts were analyzed for emerging themes about teachers’ conceptions of shy children a…
Addressing Three Common Issues in Research on Youth Activities: An Integrative Approach for Operationalizing and Analyzing Involvement
Youth activity involvement has been operationalized and analyzed using a wide range of approaches. Researchers face the challenges of distinguishing between the effects of involvement versus noninvolvement and intensity of involvement in a particular activity, accounting simultaneously for cumulative effects of involvement, and addressing multiple unique effects of individual activities. In the present work, we review and illustrate the conceptua…
A Longitudinal Study of Breadth and Intensity of Activity Involvement and the Transition to University: Study of Breadth and Intensity of Activity Involvement
We examined prospective relations between activity involvement and successful transitioning to university. A sample of 656 students from 6 Canadian universities completed questionnaires before beginning university and at the end of their first year. Breadth (number of different activity domains) and intensity (mean frequency) of activity involvement as well as changes in breadth and intensity, were examined jointly. Consistent with developmental …
Youth Engagement and Suicide Risk: Testing a Mediated Model in a Canadian Community Sample
Attachment, social information processing, and friendship quality of early adolescent girls and boys
Sixth graders (N = 223; 109 girls) completed questionnaires assessing their attachment security with their mothers and fathers, their social information processing (SIP) when faced with ambiguously caused hypothetical negative events involving a close friend, and the quality of the relationship with that friend. Aspects of more maladaptive SIP were significantly related to lower levels of security. The overall pattern of results did not provide s…
Distinguishing children who form new best-friendships from those who do not
Three groups were identified using best-friendship nominations at two time points surrounding the transition to middle school (Time 1: Spring of 5th grade; Time 2: Fall of 6th grade): (i) children who had no best-friendship at Time 1, but had a best-friendship at Time 2 (best-friendship gain; N = 109); (ii) children who had no best-friendship at either Time 1 or 2 (chronically best-friendless; N = 105); and (iii) children with a best-friendship a…
Ethnolinguistic Identity and Youth Activity Involvement in a Sample of Minority Canadian Francophone Youth
We examined the concept of “ethnolinguistic identity” in a national sample of 333 minority Canadian Francophone youth. Youth were categorized into one of four ethnolinguistic categories (integration, separation, assimilation, marginalization) based on commitment/affiliation and self-identification with Francophone and Anglophone cultures. Differences among categories were observed for activity-related identity performance, psychological engagemen…
Future Directions in Youth Involvement Research
Youth activity involvement has received increasing research and theoretical attention and should be of particular interest to social development investigators. Involvement has been correlated with a wide range of positive developmental indices, although not for all activities nor for all children. However, our ability to interpret such findings has been restricted by measurement and design limitations. Greater attention needs to be given to asses…

A longitudinal examination of breadth and intensity of youth activity involvement and successful development
Connections between youth activity involvement and indicators of successful development were examined in a longitudinal high school sample.

Relating Preschoolers' Social Competence and their Mothers' Parenting Behaviors to Early Attachment Security and High-Risk Status
Early attachment quality was related to social competence with an unfamiliar peer at age four, and to maternal management of peer interaction. Subjects were thirty-eight children, eighteen insecure and twenty securely attached children at twenty months. Approximately half of each group was middle-class and half was lower-class, high risk. At age four, each focal child and an unfamiliar play partner were videotaped during dyadic free play; the mot…

Consistent with much of the research literature, social competence is defined as effectiveness in social interaction. Effectiveness is broadly considered, and includes both self and other perspectives. Social competence is viewed as an organizing construct, with transactional, context‐dependent, and goal‐specific characteristics. Four general approaches to the operational definition of social competence are identified: social skills, sociometric …
