Late Adolescents' Cyber‐Upstanding Intentions Towards Bias‐Based Cyberbullying of Immigrants in the UK
Immigrant youth have been found to be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of cyberbullying. Cyber‐upstanders have been highlighted with the potential to tackle bias‐based bullying, such as immigrant cyberbullying; thus, it is crucial to understand its predictors. This study examined the indirect effects of intergroup contact on cyber‐upstanding intentions towards immigrant cyberbullying, via two mediators: intergroup empathy and inter…
Social interaction, sense of belonging, and psychological wellbeing
Going to university is a time of great change and adjustment for students, particularly for Chinese international students (CIS) who are crossing borders and cultures to pursue their studies. The existing literature has shown that CIS social interaction is associated with their sense of belonging at university which, in turn, is associated with their psychological wellbeing. However, there remains a paucity of work examining these relationships w…
A qualitative evaluation of a whole-school approach to improving resilience in childhood and adolescence
Background Worldwide, 10–20% of youth suffer from mental health problems. Research shows that high levels of resilience may increase resistance against mental and physical distress. In this, a ‘whole-school’ resilience intervention (Anchor Approach) can support children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to understand the intervention effects according to staff, parents and mental health services. Perceptions are explored through interven…
Examining the Relationship Between Adaptability, Social Support, and Psychological Wellbeing Among Chinese International Students at UK Universities
University entry represents a period of significant change for students. The extent to which students are able to effectively navigate this change (e.g., via their personal adaptability and social support) will likely impact upon their psychological wellbeing (a finding corroborated by recent studies). However, no study to date has examined these relations among overseas, international students, who represent an increasing proportion of universit…
What Makes a Young Assertive Bystander? The Effect of Intergroup Contact, Empathy, Cultural Openness, and In‐Group Bias on Assertive Bystander Intervention Intentions
The present research tests the indirect effects of intergroup contact on adolescents’ bystander intervention intentions via four potential mediators: “empathy,” “cultural openness,” “in‐group bias,” and “intergroup anxiety.” British adolescents ( N = 855), aged 11–13 years, completed measures of intergroup (interethnic) contact and the identified indirect variables. Intended bystander behavior was measured by presenting participants with an inter…
